SONICFLYER (FS27) were just on Steve Lamacq’s radio show on the BBC as well as got the "The best new band we've found on MySpace" pick in the NME in their Under The Radar section. Damn, you guys just stealing straight from my comp each month or what?

KUDU’s frontwoman, Sylvia Gordon, just sang on a couple of tracks on the forthcoming MOBY record. KUDU has recently passed me new demos that are club-thumpers. Check out some of the insane Kudu-spin offs like BETTY BLACK or P.O.P. (Purveyors Of Perversion). The sickest drummer on the planet, Deantoni Parks of KUDU, also plays drums in MARS VOLTA, and was just in LA in studio with MV hammering out new tracks for their next joint.
KUDU will be throwing down as a unit again on Sunday June 24th in Brooklyn with SPANKROCK and YO MAJESTY -here's the flyer.
