Feeling horny?



Of course you are...that's why you're reading this and not playing five finger shuffle whilst perusing the dubious pleasures of filthyxxxnunsonheatwithaselectionofrootvegetables.com eh? Anyway, if you're looking to get your musical kicks too I can heartily recommend hotly tipped electro dude Unicorn Kid who hits The Flapper this Wednesday (30th June EDIT: Just discovered this gig's been cancelled...oh well...check him out online anyway) playing tracks from his forthcoming debut album due out on Ministry of Sound anytime now (I'm saying nothing about filthyxxxnunsonheatwithaselectionofrootvegetables.com). Musically he’s got that Eurodance feel, high on bpm and good times yah? In fact he reminds me a lot of Swedish nut jobs and instant party starters SlagsmĂ„lsklubben. Having recently remixed Gorillaz and Pet Shop Boys and toured with Owl City in the US (not a bad start for a 17 year old eh?) he’s rapidly developing his own style and, whilst most of his stuff is instrumental at the moment, he apparently sings too. It all looks and sounds great fun (he wears a trademark lions head hat...which I imagine will be more than a little sweaty after a gig in The Flapper if the current heatwave continues) and it’s the perfect soundtrack for a midweek summertime pants in the air rave. Support comes from Birmingham’s very own Neon Asylum (Adam Ficek from Babyshambles apparently plays with ‘em sometimes), a Crystal Castles-ish proposition but without the screaming lady...

PS: I just love the Unicorn Kid video...wearing animal costumes should be compulsory in all offices.
