I'm listening to my friend Chicky and Jason from San Francisco in their incarnation as La Fin Absolute du Monde. If you like your music dark, trip-hoppy, experimental ... you might just like them.
They're touring the UK on a budget, using Megabus FFS!

Then back down to me and Jaded's neck o' the woods. I expect they'll be staying at mine to save money before they get back to That London.

They're really lovely people, the gigs are cheap as chips, go on, take a punt on 'em.
