Event information

Fika Recordings presents....

COSINES
Cosines are a mathematical pop band from north London. Simon Nelson and Alice Hubley met on the London Underground after a Stereo Totale gig in 2009. Two days later Simon was round Alice's house unblocking her kitchen drain. This unlikely meeting, got them talking and once the DIY was done they started making music together, fusing metronomic pop sensibilities, 60's grooves and krautrock noise. What you maybe would get if you mix Love, United States of America and Stereolab.

The band's first single came in May 2013 and received rave reviews from the likes of Drowned in Sound and The Legend Everett True. This is the single launch for their second single 'Commuter Love' released on Fika Recordings on 12th May.

SIMON LOVE
Simon Love (& his backing band- The Old Romantics) are a 5 (or sometimes 6) piece band from that London. Singing songs about sham marriages & self-castration, they have charmed tens of people over the course of their last few shows. The Devil Has The Best Tuna blog named Simon as one of his tips for 2014 saying "He's like the unheralded love child of Elvis Costello & Elton John with a bad case of Tourettes". There will be an LP out on Fortuna Pop at some point this year.

GIANT BURGER
Giant Burger were formed from the ashes of BAANEEX, a Dracula-centric pop punk band that came to an end early 2012, now, like all good burgers they have been reconstituted, reformed and had some artificial flavours pumped into them.

Made up of three former members of BAANEEX, three chaps and one lady, one electric guitar, one drum set, one baritone guitar and one Casiotone keyboard.

"Lapping surf guitars, beefy organ and an ebullient eruption of textured Animal Collective-y vocals; sink your teeth into this! Actions sometimes speak louder than words, you know, and this song would probably get Handy Andy all hot and bothered - cashback!" - Drowned in Sound
