This City Is Ours killed it…

Slugabed / Loops haunt / Illum Sphere / Blood Boy on the same bill. Man it was going to be sweet wasn’t it. Loops Haunt played a live set which was too fucking awesome! After a faulty power supply was sorted (so nice to see it isn’t just me that shit happens to!) Slugabed B2B with our very own Bloody Boy and Slugabed jamming with LH was a highlight. Totally cool. Our next gig is on Thursday @ The Deaf Institute.

If you want in email us @ kitesmusic@live.co.uk and we will wack you on the cheaplist. Its gonna be a good one so get down.

Sorry for being rubbish at updating this – seriously we will try our very best to keep on it. What with band, night, life, somethings slip sometimes! So what have FTKOSQ been up to.

1.http://fromthekitesofsanquentin.bandcamp.com/

You can download our first demo from here – its completely FREE. All we ask is that you share it with your mates. We have also put stems of the track <@-;) up so you can fuck about with them to your hearts content. We have a had a great response so far from this – think we have 10 remixes now, and in a week or so when we have them all back I am gonna put up a download where you can get them all in one place. DEMO 2 is also just about ready to drop, and with the amount of people who remixed <@-;) and by the sounds of it had much fun doing so, we may even give you stems of one of those tracks as well!

2. We got an amazing review of Manchester Music – you can read the whole thing here: http://www.music-dash.co.uk/live/live.asp?item=1847

Seriously one of the best reviews of any band I have ever been in – my fav bit has to be ‘Cited influences Portishead and Flying Lotus are there in the sound, whilst the band's purported love of 70s prog comes through more in the meticulous assembly of the complex parts in this beautiful if slightly unsettling melee.’ Sweet

3. We have a show at the Deaf Institute next week. It’s a Drowned in Sound show which is cool as we have been fans of the site for years. The Deaf Institute is one of the prettiest venues in Manchester so I am thinking that this is going to be the real deal. If you want to be put on the cheap list email: kitesmusic@live.co.uk

4. Thanks to the lovely people at Modern English – we attended their launch night on Wednesday and had our fill of free food and booze – looks like an exciting project and we wish them well!

THIS CITY IS OURS – Slugabed / Loops Haunt / Illum Sphere and our very own Blood Boy this Saturday 6th Feb @ Joshua Brooks. This is gonna be HEAVY – man I cant wait to see Loops Haunt and you should be that way too! Next TCIO – a co promotion with our bros in Mind on Fire – the first This City is On Fire @ Islinton Mill. Mount Kimbie are headlining, and Kites will be playing as well!

We also have a show on 2nd March @ new Manchester venue Soundcontrol. I used to work in there when it was a music shop – so will be crazy to take to the stage in what used to be the staff room! Absolutely can’t wait – from what I have heard the venue – and especially the PA (which we at kites like) is supposed to be AMAZING. Which means I am gonna turn my amp up real loud and try to break the building. Be there to see if we manage it!

Kites land is a busy place at the moment so I am sure that I have missed something – we have a hella cool gig to announce in April which we have to keep under wraps for now, and sorting shows in Brighton and London, so maybe a mini tour in the pipeline. All good

Oh and we are doing a video as well. How cool is that!
