Tokyo Taboo

Tokyo Taboo would like to get Naked and take over the world someday...
With strong melodies, catchy hooks and a whole lot of heavy synth lines Tokyo Taboo aim to electrify!

The London band have already toured internationally performing at events such as CMJ in New York City & The Global Battle of the Bands World Finals in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Tokyo Taboo have also toured the US three times playing well known venues State-side such as The Viper Room and Whisky A Go Go (where they rocked so hard they are now banned from playing!) Tokyo Taboo have also been featured on National TV & Radio Shows such as The Chris Moyles Breakfast Show (BBC Radio 1), Must Be The Music (Sky 1) and Louie Spence's Showbusiness (Sky 1) 



TT recorded their latest four track EP in LA with producer extraordinaire Adam Moseley whose credits include Lenny Kravitz, Tina Turner, The Cure, The Eurythmics and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs to name but a few...

Naked showcases both the band's poppy, colourful & fun side with the EP's bubblegum title track and a darker side with He Hit Me and Sugar Lies where lyrics such as 'I kissed him to get to you/ So you'd smell him on my skin' depict how 'fucked up a relationship can become. When all you do is want to hurt each other rather than feeling nothing at all.' The EP's cover depicts Tokyo Taboo's front woman nude flying through the air suspended by metallic balloons. 'I really want to do that on one of our gigs. Fly onto stage by balloons,' the lead singer claims. 

Well, no one's stopping her that's for sure!

Naked will be available to download from March 2013. Watch this space!

Sounds Like: The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Ting Tings, The Eurythmics, The Pretty Reckless, The Dead Weather, Cyndi Lauper, Dragonette, Alice In Videoland, Madonna, No Doubt, P!nk, David Bowie, Katy Perry, Transvision Vamp, Roxette, Alanis Morrisette, Blondie.
Naked the band's latest single from their new EP of the same name out May 30th



Glasvegas
Released: July 8th 2013
‘’If’ unravels like a jam, dexterously remapping Talking Heads ‘Road To Nowhere’ as a road to somewhere’ Q
Glasvegas release a new track from their forthcoming album in the shape of ‘If’ on 8th July. Following the release in April of ‘I’d Rather Be Dead (Than Be With You), ‘If’ is another taster for fans of their third studio album, ‘Later…When The TV Turns To Static’ which will be released in September.
Described by lyricist and singer James Allan as a realisation that ‘if it wasn't for the bad stuff the good stuff would be invisible to you', ‘If’ melds trademark Glasvegas’ soaring choruses to a martial drum and a Phil Spector inspired opening in what is fast becoming a live favourite to stand beside some of the band’s most beloved moments.
‘If’ will be released worldwide on July 8th 2013 on Go Wow Records/BMG Chrysalis.
In support of the single Glasvegas tour the UK in June, dates are as follows
Tuesday 18th - The Cluny, Newcastle

The View - 'Standard' is released on June 17th along with the new 
compilation album 'Seven Year Setlist' on the same date!
RELEASE COMPILATION ALBUM ‘SEVEN YEAR SETLIST’ AND NEW SINGLE ‘STANDARD’ ON JUNE 17TH ON COOKING VINYL
Band to support the Stone Roses at Glasgow Green on June 15th
Pre-release album show at London’s Borderline and nationwide Propaganda club tour also confirmed
After making a glorious return with last year’s Top 10 album ‘Cheeky For A Reason’, which received numerous glowing reviews – some of the best of the band’s career so far - and also saw them winning the Best Music Award 2012 at the Sunday Mail’s Great Scot Awards and Album of the Year 2012 at the Nordoff Robins Tartan Cleff Scottish Music Awards, The View have compiled some of their finest moments to date on the ‘Seven Year Setlist’ album which will be released on June 17th on Cooking Vinyl, the same day as their brand new single ‘Standard’.
To celebrate the release of ‘Seven Year Setlist’, The View have also just announced an exclusive one-off intimate pre-release album show in London at The Borderline on Monday 10th June, before they support the legendary Stone Roses in front of 50,000 people at Glasgow Green on June 15th. The band will also be touring throughout May and June with Propaganda – the UK’s biggest indie night.
‘Seven Year Setlist’ spans The View’s journey to date from ‘Face For The Radio’ which originally featured on their self-titled debut EP which was released in 2006 up to the present day with three new songs in the shape of the first single ‘Standard’ (out June 17th) as well as ‘Dirty Magazine’ and ‘Kill Kyle’. Along the way, it visits the #3 hit ‘Same Jeans’, ‘Wasted Little DJs’ which won Best Track at the NME Awards, another Top 15 hit with ‘Superstar Tradesman’, a Dirty Version of the ‘Which Bitch?’ album highlight ‘Shock Horror’ and ‘How Long’, the first single and opening track from ‘Cheeky For A Reason’ which was accompanied by a video starring Red Road / A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints actor Martin Compston.
"Over the years there's been four studio albums, thousands of gigs, too much vodka and loads of memories on this crazy rock n' roll journey,” says vocalist / guitarist Kyle Falconer. “So we wanted to create an album that was kinda like stopping and looking back over the years - with a few new tracks too. That’s the Seven Year Setlist.”
The new material on the album reunites the band with Owen Morris (Oasis, The Verve) who produced their Mercury Prize-nominated, #1 album ‘Hats Off To The Buskers’. The majority of the songs on the album were written by Falconer and bassist Kieren Webster, and features further production courtesy of Mike Crossey (Artic Monkeys, Foals) and Youth (Primal Scream).
