The Waltz

Fear Of Music

unsigned

WE SAY

This is our favourite discovery so far from the demos of bands playing at In The City. Yes, it's a waltz about a waltz, and we'd already decided we liked it when we found out the band are in their early to mid teens. Lamacq has played them on Radio 1, the NME are on board with a feature, and they've had strong local media support too (they're from Manchester). They play Tmesis on Sunday 19 September, onstage at 10pm, plus an 'unofficial' gig at Bierkeller on Saturday night. Website
