NOISETTES are offering unsigned bands the chance to support them on their forthcoming UK tour. The London-based trio will pick one unsigned act per night from entries submitted to their Myspace page, http://www.myspace.com/noisettesuk

The only condition on the competition is that the winning acts must be no bigger than a three-piece.

Noisettes kick off the tour on 11 October in Glasgow and finish in London, where the band are playing Shepherds Bush Empire on 26-27 October.

There’s been so much great music this year that we almost forgot to mention a band we’ve kept our eye on since we first heard them in 2007. Folks, we love this band. We know that their song is in a car commercial, but even still, they have a great sound

The Noisettes are a London-based three piece band. They have been together for over 3 years with Dan Smith on Lead Guiter/Vocals, Shingai Shoniwa on Vocals/Bass, and Jamie Morrison on Drums.

But ya wouldn’t know they were a 3 piece band to listen to ‘em. For the past week in between the Jackson tunes, we’ve been playing tunes from their upcoming Wild Young Hearts album.

This album is set up to be a must-have record. Their songs are great, Shingai is an absolute star (or is it that we’re suckers for bass playing female vocalists?) and the time is right.

Their retro style is flawless. They have pulled off 60s, 70s, and 80s without fail so far. Check out the 60’s styling on this video for “Never Forget You”.
