It's Lies, I Tells Ya!


Talking about lies, here's a new single from infant (in band years not, you know, infant ones) band, Them Changes.
Their press release, which we received this morning, began by telling us that Steve Whiteley - formerly of ATC Management - is managing the band. I don't know if that's a big deal or not, by the way. 
The lads turned up a bit early.
 Anyway, their promotional blurb also tells us they recently met Jack White at The Wheelbarrow in Camden where the band runs a night called Hooligan Soup.
Them Changes and Jack ended up swapping numbers, the press statement says, and the boys are now - allegedly - being mentored by him.
You can believe that all you want, but its creativity was enough for us to have a listen.
It's a barmy song really. The band use a guitar cranked with so much chorus effect that it makes The Police's Andy Summers sound like he was playing clean.
Anyway, the chorus is quite good (if you like the 80s chord changes) even if the rest of the song is a little sparse. Oh, and try to avoid watching the video. We don't have a link to their audio only version, so just look away from your monitor. If that's still possible.
