plus PLUGD djs
The Tikki Lounge
Saturday 10th March
Doors 9pm
"...the maverick spirit of Krautrock communal living, a rejection of conventional pop songs, Faust playing hydraulic drills exists elsewhere... the likes of Liars, The Boredoms, Animal Collective, Black Dice, Lightning Bolt and They Came From The Stars I Saw Them are pushing the boundaries in a way that would please the old guard."
Chris Parkin, Time Out
"Bonkers death factory cocktail bar electronica about meeting aliens.they're going to be stars(we see it)... "
you could be forgiven for thinking TCFTSIST are the only pop group in the world who matter. Genius is the only word, really.
TWICE Leftfield S.O.T.M. Muzik magazine
"One of the highlights of my year, without a doubt "
John Kennedy XFM - TWICE S.O.T.W
"Its an oddity!"
Xmas Single of the Week: Mark & Lard, Radio 1
"There is, however, only one Christmas no 1 and in a perfect world it would be a musical diaspora known as They Came from the Stars, I Saw Them...extraordinary in a bonkers, laugh-out-loud funny kind of way....Single of the Fortnight without a Heidi of a doubt."
Single of the Fortnight, The List
"utterley entrancing...this is the Beta Band, times twenty"
****review BANG! Magazine
"tastlessness? id say tasty to the point of pungent! "
Mixing It, Radio 3
"A performance-art-prog-punk-pop band of quite magnificent primitivism, and if theyre not the best band in the country its because that hoary titles too boring for them. Lets say instead; The Most New Band In Britain".
Freaky Trigger. http://www.freakytrigger.co.uk/
"Absurdist madness with the sole aim to create excitement"
The Guide
"I do not know to what scrappy spaceship these nice and totally mad people belong to, but I am convinced that we will hear about them more."
Blow Up magazine, Italy
"...this could be a posse of Clangers let loose in the studio with hallucinogens, plastic recorders, and a mic pointed at the cosmic vortex "
Sleaze Nation
"...rush-of-blood-to-the-head exciting...Awesome "
Careless Talk Costs Lives
"...gorgeous, inventive, sweetly winking, vaguely lips-like xmas e.p".
TimeOut
Beautiful, poetic, creeping chaos
S.O.T.M. Bizzarre Magazine
"Bands like TCFTSIST have such a rare emotion, led by curiosity, rather than the familiar ease into which our generation is all too easily letting itself slip. This music should not be picked to pieces, it should be heard as a progression in the greater scheme of things. Provactive, intelligent, skilled, daring and very intriguing! "
Drowned in Sound.com
"Pretentious twaddle or creative genius? Your call. "
DJ Magazine
"probably the U.Ks most pretentious band (they have worked very hard for the title)....As individual as a snowflake! "
