The Video Nasties
No. That would be a lie. They are the best thing since forever. Fact.
The Video Nasties are a 5 piece from London that formed in 2005. Their debut gig was witnessed by a couple of Les Incompetents, who were [so rightly] impressed that a couple of gigs followed; and their self released demo caught the attention of Xfm DJ John Kennedy.
Since then they have played many gigs, including supporting Jack Peñate on his tour, and are now supporting Jakobinarina on their UK tour.
They released their Karl Blau EP on Way Out West records at the end of October and it is a true masterpiece [get yourself a copy, I have mine and it's brilliant!].
I was first introduced to The Video Nasties at the Electric Gardens festival in early August, and ever since then, they have taken up the majority of my music listening time. For all you people out there familiar with Last.fm, you will probably know it's hard to get a single band to the top of your 'Most listened artists overall' in one week and have them at the top of your 'Most listened artists this week' for 13 weeks on the trot!
Seriously, they really are that good, I really can't gush about this band enough so i'll just let you make up your own minds.
I'm posting two tracks from their current Karl Blau EP, but they are only samples as I really think you should be out buying their stuff!!
Enjoy!
