SO SO MODERN, LAKES + more TBC 18th AUG

You won't be disappointed by So So Modern, believe me - one of the nicest, funniest and amazing bands that Lakes have ever had the pleasure of playing with on our travels! You can dance, you can mosh, you can space out to them. Ok so here is some of the press pack for So So Modern...

“Like nothing you’ve ever heard before, this Kiwi quartet are the best thing to come along since pulled pork burritos. With yelps that will shock the Rapture, high pitched synths that will drill a new dimension in your brain, and punk rubdowns aplenty, this collection of 15 singles is so damn good, it’s quite scary” – Dazed and Confused

“A furious fusion of bleeps, guitars and whirlwind drums, they sound like At the Drive In disassembling Battles and Holy Fuck” – Rob Webb, NME

“The band mix excitable post-new-rave head rushes with DIY aesthetics…a synth-tastic party” – Metro

“Raw and naïve, So So Modern are the head-rush of a musical bungee jump, and completely exhilarating” – AU

“A breath of fresh air…This is the album you’ve been waiting for, readers. To say that you’d be missing out if you didn’t own “Friends and Fires” wouldn’t cover the half of it” – Artrocker (album of the month)

“(Seeing So So Modern at) the Artrocker Festival…I got a little insight of how Christopher Columbus must have felt sailing the high seas in search of the East, only to stumble across the unexpected magic of the Americas” – Angela Balakrishnan, Artrocker

“Individually ripened nano-slices of tech-pop ably syncopate Swans, Klaxons and Shy Child…stellar” – Greg Cochrane, NME

“Each track is a pie eyed, button pushing experiment…their enthusiasm is admirable” – Q

“Schizophrenic synth psychos…a complex melange of truncated beats and stupefying rhythms that mash n’ mosh together with the uneasy peril of a sexed up New York Dolls leap-frogging Rick Wakeman in a sauna” – The Fly

“Skilfully done” – The Knowledge
