hey, has anyone here heard of little man tate? i heard about them in august and saw them for the first time in sept and thought they were absolutely amazing! really quirky and entertaining with every single a potential hit! since them seen them a few times and each time they just get better and better... similarities i suppose both musically and lyrically can be made with the arctic monkeys, the streets, pulp, early blur, franz, the jam. if you aint heard they are from sheffield and have spent the last 4 months winning the hearts and souls of the underground and leaving a trail of weak kneed girls in their wake... all this despite getting their van nicked in york in sept when everything they had was nicked!!

anyhoo they have just early announced details of their debut single 'The Agent' which will be released in february on limited edition 7" vinyl. also they have just announced a tour of Barfly venues in February with support from the suffrajets, in addition with a hatful of other gigs around the country.

if you want a listen you can judge for yourself they have FREE DOWNLOADS available for a limited time (right click and save as)

Yeah came across them on MySpace Music, gonna try and see them at Brum, really like Court Report and Man I Hate Your Band.

heard people on arctic monkeys forum namechecking these guys for ages, but didn't look into it since they all seem to change their favourite band every five minutes, liking the sound of man i hate your band, might go check out milburn now.
