Forged from postpunk, no-wave and psych influences, Clues compose a rare
breed of complex pop anthems that consistently inscribe their own perfect limits, without overreaching and without pandering.
Their music is exuberantly infectious and approachable offering up a highly
original, intensely committed and hugely satisfying definition of indie
rock. I wholeheartedly encourage you to watch them perform on one of
their shows, here are the tour dates:-
Oct 19: Manchester, Drowned In Sound Stage @ In The City Festival @ The
Deaf Institute
Oct 20: Sheffield, The Harley Oct 21: Edinburgh, The Electric Circus
Oct 22: Dublin, Whelans
Oct 23: Liverpool, Korova
Oct 24: Bristol, Start The Bus
Oct 25: London, The Lexington
AND>>> if you are based in London then you should also pop along to Pure Groove at 1pm on Monday 26th October for their in-store show.
Check out Clues – “Haarp” from Clues on Vimeo from their sumptuous self titled debut.
And if that captures your interest then you may like to know that Alden Penner was also the musical director for (and various other Clues members ended up contributing to) the indie film *Paper Hearts*, which is getting hyped all over these days.

SUNN O))) is proud to present their first UK in three years, including a return to the north of England and Scotland! After a couple of teaser shows playing as the Grimm Robes duo, SUNN O))) are finally ready to tour in support of the Monoliths & Dimensions album.
The lineup on stage will be brothers Grimm Anderson & O'Malley, Attila Csihar and Steve Moore (Stebmo). O))) will be joined for two dates by Swedish electronics guru BJ Nilsen performing a special "Storms" set, and two concerts with psychedelic mantra outfit
OM. O))) will also perform two nights at the legendary All Tomorrow's Parties festival, honorably invited by the ATP staff themselves to celebrate the 10th year of the fest. As a special set O))) will be performing as a duo (Shoshin), in addition to the quartet.
In related news, the Gravetemple trio (O'Malley, Csihar and Oren Ambarchi) will be headlining a special, rare one off date at London's ICA in November with an entirely brand new piece of experimental drone and doom.
