The Social Services
So, with the Big Pearly Gates! gig featuring Iain Archer, Lovers Electric and The Social Services in a mere 2 days time (you have got your tickets, I hope), I thought I would post the third and final blog on the various acts that are performing that night.
The Social Services are bringing their amazing brand of Alternative/Lyrical/Melodramatic pop to our venue just next to Bank Tube Station . It took me a while to find a video of theirs, but find it I did, and it’s at the top of this post.
Whilst I didn’t know much about them before, I have come to love them. Part Swedish, part Scottish, their track “The Baltic Sea” in the video above has an underlying cheeky humour to the lyrics and music. In fact, anyone who can record Europe’s “the Final Countdown” as an acoustic waltz deserves a listen just for having the balls to attempt it. Give it a go, you won’t regret it. In fact you could play it now as your working day comes to an end – you can do so for free via their myspace page.
I found a couple of reviews for their stuff on stereokill.net and SwedesPlease, so you don’t need to take my word for it!
And guys (as you all seem to know about The Social Services already) you really need to tell me when you find music this good!
Tickets still available but selling fast.
