Morning Runner
I've just received an email from koko about this weeks club NME, which features Morning Runner. We saw them play the barfly last week and, well the jury is out for now. They sound a bit too like Hothouse flowers for my comfort. I'll try and write a better review soon but we're out all week so why not pop along to see them. Details as follows:
Friday 12TH August
CLUB NME
Morning Runner + Jackson Analogue + DJ Mikey Four
Room 2: THE GALLERY with FROG DJ’s + special guest DJ’s The High Fives
Room 3: THE LOUNGE BAR hosted by NME with special guest DJ’s The Birthday Party
This week’s CLUB NME is a very exciting affair with one of the UK’s hottest bands coming to headline. The band is Morning Runner and support comes in the form of Jackson Analogue.
Morning Runner formed in Reading shortly after the turn of the century, Matthew bonded with Tom (bass) and Ali (drums) with an aim to write and perform great songs far beyond their ability and to have a laugh in the process. While tentative about adding a pianist to what they thought would be a garage rock band, they decided that longtime friend Fields was simply too good a musician not to be in the band. The music that resulted became both big-hearted and brash; the four members drawing on influences from their love of Radiohead, the Strokes, Cat Power, Elbow and Grandaddy. The result is that rarest of things; a band to touch your body, your brain ‘and’ your soul. For more information go to http://www.morningrunner.com.
