Welcome to Indie Anorak - my musings on indie pop and rock. It's aimed at people like me, who spend far too much time in the pub wittering on about their favourite Smiths b-sides and best '60s singles.

A filthy night with The Boyfriends


I recently saw half of hotly-tipped London band The Boyfriends, who have just returned from supporting Morrissey on his European tour, play a low-key acoustic set at Filthy McNasty's Whiskey Cafe in Islington
The show featured four brand new songs, including one about meeting Elizabeth Taylor on a London bus! Introducing themselves as Journey South (!), vocalist Martin Wallace and guitarist Richard Adderley impressed the audience with acoustic renditions of several live favourites, including debut single I Love You.
At least three of the new songs aired - Apathy in the UK, Wonders Never Cease and British Summertime - are due to appear on The Boyfriends' debut album, which is due out later this year. The band are currently holed up in a London recording studio making the record - it's pencilled in for a September release.
Spotted in the audience were former Kenickie bassist, Emmy-Kate Montrose, and Dickon Edwards of long-forgotten Romo band, Orlando!
