    FUTURE KINGS OF SPAIN (think Dinosaur Jr meets Shellac) are launching their debut single at the Music Centre on Wednesday 4th September (they're one of Dublin's best-kept secrets). After the single release, they're jetting off to New York to record their debut album with Ted Nicely (fugazi, girls against boys) and Eli Janney (girls against boys) co-producing it with the band.

    If you like your rock, this is DEFINITELY one to check out. Support comes from Berkeley, BOXES and Roscoe.

    And it's only 7 brick in!!
    sweet.

    The single is "A Place For Everything And Everything In Its Place". Phantom have been playing it loads, AND another demo version of a song called "One Look" (which is f*cking smashing). The actual single though, is backed with "Your Starlight", which also rocks (and another song "love Of The Common Man" - a Todd Rundgren cover.

    They are signed to Red Flag Records - a London label that releases Shack and Ten Speed Racer too.

    They gigged a while back with eX-Girl at the Music Centre. They've also got a few dates booked around the country around the same time as the show. If I can dig them out I'll post them.

    It was a lazarus soul who were one of the support bands for ex-girl along with Boxes ( Ithink) and the Chalets
    Some of the Future Kings of Spain are in a lazarus soul as well

    Yes I am a pedantic girl

    Yeah it was a good night
    Just went out of curiosity really about ex-Girl
    I thought they were great
    Although I dont know if I want to own any of their record
    I really liked a lazarus soul and boxes were good too
    No as sure about the Chalets - a little bit too knowing or something
    Couple of decent tunes *reserves judgement*

    I thought Boxes were amazing. Normally when you hear "spin" it's grossly inaccurate, but they totally are along the lines of Big Black and that. Deadly!! I though The Chalets were cool - they're just on a different kind of buzz. eX-Girl were deadly...just nuts. If you want I can burn you a copy of the eX-Girl album. And yep - it IS nuts (but good!)
