MOSS LIME tonight and CAFE OTO Xmas Fair this Sunday!

Good morning!

Here’s a swift reminder that tonight we’ll be pitching up at the Old Blue Last with a marvellous show of minimal post punk. We have francophones MOSS LIME making their debut in London, alongside always-awesome locals AS ONDAS and Swedish/English duo WHALO coming down from Nottingham too. Tickets are £5 on the door from 8pm, with live music kicking off 30 mins later. Really looking forward to it, hopefully see you there!

MOSS LIME are a Montreal based band, made up of sisters Charlotte Bonamour and Hélène Barbier from Lille, France, their former roommate Caitlin Pinder-Doede from Toronto. They spent the summer 2014 in Parc Petite Italie in Montréal, enjoying food and beverages from Lalime. One day they went to the swimming pool and another day they decided to play music together in a basement with a great dehumidifier. Inspired by local punk bands with similarly unpretentious starts, Moss Lime booked their first show at a neighbourhood bar, performing a short set of their four original songs and one cover song, an almost unrecognisable reinterpretation of European club hit “Calabria 2007″. At the end of the summer, a few days before Charlotte was supposed to move back to France, the group went to record with Peter Woodford (Freelove Fenner) at his and Caitlin Loney’s all-analog home studio, The Bottle Garden, with the intention of producing what they referred to as a “souvenir”, to document their short summer as a band, Fixture Records released the tape EP ‘July First’. After this, the band started getting offers to play shows with local bands and even landed a last-minute spot at this year’s POP Montreal festival. Moss Lime’s melodic minimalism, idiosyncratic vocals, and strong sense of play, as witnessed in this promising first collection of recordings, already shows signs of further experimentation to come. They will release their first LP in the next few weeks on Telephon Explosion.

AS ONDAS are a band with fresh ideas, featuring members of Dog Legs, Shopping and Wachi Wachi they start their race with a sprint. With a spartan drum, bass and guitar lineup, As Ondas deliver up a delirious, chorus-drenched prom punk alongside the occasional post punk meditation.

WHALO are a Swedish/English duo based in Nottingham with melancholic tendencies and a love for the DIY approach. After forming at the start of 2015, Whalo quietly released their debut EP “Sleepy” in September, a collection of hazy pop songs recorded in a cold Coventry garage. They are now gearing up to play a handful of live shows in the UK whilst slowly writing and recording material for a follow up.
