Little Sparta and Female Band are live in the studio!

LITTLE SPARTA are a London based three piece featuring Alan D. Boyd (guitar), Susie Honeyman (violin) and Scott Skinner(drums). From having been described as ‘bittersweet and unpretentious’ by Pitchfork (7/10) for their first release Scalpel Slice (Fire Records) the band have continued to explore the out of the ordinary while maintaining the ‘Elegant, waning violins and craggy folkisms..” (NME) that have come to define their sound.
And re-scheduled due to illness we at last have Female Band bringing their reverb drenched, atmospheric song-scapes live to the Capital’s airwaves. Female Band say: ‘We’re more interested in talking about our music than ourselves. We are very excitable young ladies and perhaps a few beers would settle our nerves before the show if this is at all possible we would be entirely grateful.’

And in conjunction with Resonance FM’s current fundraising drive the Hello GoodBye Show is selling off a show minute by minute – at the rate of £10 per minute!Use the time to promote your band/cause/political views/small business/megaglobal corporation.
