Children For Breakfast are returning from a state of inactivity and metabolic depression, we are awakening to the noisy lo-fi melodies of THE THERMALS all the way from the USA. They are traveling as tourmates to THE CRIBS but are also playing three headline shows, one is for us!

**THE THERMALS**

Hutch Harris, Kathy Foster, and Westin Glass are The Thermals, a three piece post-pop-punk band from Portland, Oregon, currently the main exporter of indie rock in the United States. Formed in early 2002, The Thermals signed to Sub Pop Records that fall, on the recommendation of Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie). They have since released three records on the label.

They have just completed their fourth album "Now We Can See" for release in April on Kill Rock Stars, and will be releasing their lead off single in March.

Apart from the obviously cracking albums and singles, they are notable for their refusal to sell their cult hit "Pillar Of Salt" to Hummer for an advert, Hutch has for his sins also spent time touring as part of MODEST MOUSE.

If you're still thinking "Well they would say that, wouldn't they?" then read these quotes from reputable sources:

"blistering, boisterously brilliant indie-rock pop-swinging sing-along slice of geee-neee-arse....this is evidence – like any was actually needed – that they’re a force to be reckoned with" Drowned In Sound

"The secret to their simple-but-superior musical chops may well lie in their feel for pace and rhythm. Although they reach breakneck pace sometimes, more often they pull the tempo back to a sweet spot that makes for a sensation of careering, propulsive joy without getting too giddy or frantic" The Guardian

"Luckily, their awesome third album provides ample reasons to get giddy about stuff they did do. The wonderful ‘Back To The Sea’ roars like a less introverted Sebadoh, while recent single ‘A Pillar Of Salt’ sees them come on like an American Cribs" NME

**JACK LEWIS & THE FISHERMAN THREE**

It’s never easy to live under the shadow of a well-known sibling, but for Jack Lewis, younger brother of Crass-obsessed NYC crooner Jeffrey Lewis, any direct comparisons are left to the wind the first time he opens his mouth. More Jonathan Richman to his bro's John Darnielle, Jack’s songs feature fewer inside jokes but are just as charming and clever in their own right, full of fake laments (“The Day Neil Young Died”) and quirky come-ons (the indelible “you danced your ass off” refrain from “New Year's Day.”) Amazingly, things never get too tongue-in-cheek, staying sweet throughout.

**MEXICAN KIDS AT HOME**
http://www.myspace.com/mexicankidsathome

Rising stars of tweecore brought together on Clowne Skatepark, we're now a STABLE 5 piece, and hopefully a bit more serious about what they do??? Who knows.

The band is Jack, Robyn, David Bore, Warner and Austin. We look like hobo's sometimes, and like having bro downs, and getting RAD, and filming skating, and going off-roading in the Bore-by-Bore.
