The Novelties are six feet under

Our batteries appear to have failed!

About Me


Hello there, people of Myspace! We are the Novelties, an alt-rock dance mission from York. But it doesnt matter now, we're dead!Since May 2006, we've been doing some very lovely things such as recording two EPs (The second being notably better than the first!), playing at the Grand Opera House in all of it's hugeness, Gigging in York's City Centre, Headlining Fibbers Barfly and gigging with amazing bands such as 'I Was a Cub Scout'. 'Rolo Tomassi' 'The Departure', 'This Town Needs Guns', 'The Xcerts' and 'Grammatics'.

Hurrah for us!

If you like us, our songs or even the artistic beauty that is our hair, collectively, then come and see us at one of our gigs,

PS: Check out the bands in our Top 8; they are wonderful.

Next gig;

Thank you Emma, for that.

’I’m not sure if something coming in battery powered from behind is your idea of a radio friendly song, but these guys seem to think so. It’ll certainly strike a hit in Fibbers.’

- Chris Guard (Everything he says is Gospel.)

’..reminded me of a mellower Placebo – all the angst without all the noise.’

- Janelle Rodriques, The Yorker
