Competition: Live tickets - Gross Magic, Tashaki Miyaki, Bos Angeles in London

Seriously. Look at that line-up. I couldn't have wished for anything better. It's like a dream. Genuinely three of the best 'up and coming' bands around right now - the excellently shameless glam pop of Brighton's Gross Magic, the sweet and vintage fuzz pop of Tashaki Miyaki, and the vibrant lo-fi surf 'vibes' of Boscombe's Bos Angeles - on one bill at London's 100 Club, Wednesday 28 September. And we have five pairs of tickets to giveaway thanks to the lovely folk at 100 Club and Converse.

Simply send an email, titled something vaguely similar to "Gross Magic, Tashaki Miyaki and Bos Angeles competition" with your name and postal address to basementcompetitions@gmail.com before Sunday 26 September to be in with a chance to get yourself two tickets. Strictly 18+, and please don't enter if you're gonna attempt to sell the tix on, it won't work. Winners will be announced on Monday 27 September. ENTER.

Gross Magic - Sweetest Touch

Bos Angeles - Beach Slalom

Tashaki Miyaki - Somethin Is Better Than Nothin

Tashaki Miyaki

HEY, LOOK! MORE MUSIC I FOUND ON THE PIGEON POST.

I should just stop telling you which bands I’ve found on said blog in the hope that you don’t read that RUBBISH. I should just take all the credit myself. But I’ve got a feeling that’s wrong and I shouldn’t. Plus, The Pigeon Post isn't actually rubbish. Or is it?

Anyway. Tashaki Miyaki is swaying female vocal led slow pop with a nod to the 60s. Very Best Coast-y, but more in a way that they share the same influences rather than Tashaki Miyaki ripping off Bethany et al. It’s really, really nice and the Californian group need to up their productivity – I want more!

We don’t have much more info than that, so just enjoy the music. It’s great. Listen below, or download at bandcamp.
