So I've moved to East London, to Queen Mary University. It's good here, I finally feel like I'm not hanging around waiting anymore. And everyone likes good music! I've been to 3 gigs so far - money has stopped me from seeing more, most painfully Biffy Clyro with Manchester Orchestra and Frightened Rabbit, nice one money. Here's the run down of those I did catch. Monday 21st September THE VEILS w/ Swimming, So Say So - London Scala This was an exciting one. 2 days into living in London [...]
So Say So are a London five-piece who make the kind of offbeat pop that seems to be popping up in a few bands at the moment. Fanfarlo are the current champions of this, but So Say So are strong contenders, awkward name and all. But while Fanfarlo are very good and what they do, they can also be a little, well, boring. So Say So have no such problems. The music is slightly dreamy, and bigger than it really should be, but most surprisingly of all, still manages to [...]
The past week for me has been relatively shite. From managing to get an infected toe at the start of the week and disgusting everyone within my vicinity at work with my grim foot tales; to getting the worst food poisoning I've ever had after eating the tuna sandwich sent direct from hell; to missing a trip to Scotland with Biffy Clyro due to the persistent vomiting; and finally missing out on Oh, Inverted World's awesome night at Hoxton Square Bar and Kitchen with Gaggle , Clock Opera , So Say So and [...]
Apologies are in order once again. I've been neglecting you all for far too long and it's time to get back in to the blogging groove. I thought I'd start by recapping on a few things that have apparated in to my inbox in recent weeks concerning IT favourites. French five-piece Turzi have just released their Buenos Aires / Bombay EP (which you can purchase at Rough Trade here ) through Record Makers . [...]
Woo Hoo! Yes, this Thursday OIW crashlands at Hoxton Bar & Grill with a hotbed of great new bands that we've curated just for you guys. To get you scenesters in the mood here's a taster of the FOUR top acts we've got lined up for you, AND we should also mention that Mr Josh Weller will also be coming down to throw some tunes and keep you dancing all night with our now legendary DJ Dave Depares ... Yep, it's gonna be a hell of a party! Full details at the event [...]
So Say So have thankfully been back in the recording studio and have kindly sent me the lovely song 'Nowhere Near The Heart'. If you like Fanfarlo and indie music with a tinge of twee, then you'll love So Say So. The London 5-piece have been on the live circuit for a little while and are getting better and better. This song is a beautiful one indeed. Now that they have access to studio space we can expect to hear more delights. They said that they are planning to work on their debut album as of 2010. Check out their [...]
There's a hell of a line-up coming up at Hoxton Bar & Kitchen on October 8th with Gaggle , Clock Opera , our favourite band EVER La Shark , AND also the wonderful So Say So who will be joining us to make your heart swoon to their gorgeous tunes. So Say So supported The Veils at a packed out show at London's Scala just over a week ago, hopefully we can give them [...]
October 8th sees the return of OIW's favourite band, La Shark ! The best ever reason we can think of to get to a gig unfashionably early. Expect unmissable theatrics and crafted mayhem, seriously, you need to see these guys to believe! And then you get to see So Say So , followed by Clock Opera , the amazing 22-piece, all female, alternative choir known as Gaggle AND a special guest Josh Weller DJ set too, woo! Here's a brilliant madcap [...]
Holy moly! The next OIW on October 8th is going to feature one of the most amazing spectacles we've ever had. There's brilliant support from Clock Opera , So Say So , La Shark and a special guest Josh Weller DJ set, but most notably, in the headline slot is a 22-piece, all female, alternative choir called GAGGLE ! Yep, it sounds pretty crazy but it's much more amazing than you can imagine. Here's a great [...]
This is where we're going to be On October 8th we're heading East to Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen . We always knew we were cool, but we're pretty stoked to be invited to host a night in Hoxton, the capital of the cool kids. Fittingly we've assembled a pretty awesome line-up that all you good hipsters can name check. " Who you got then? " I hear you sneer, well discernible friends we have Still Flyin' , [...]

London five-piece So Say So are a band that I've really fallen in love with recently. The result of the amalgamation of members from two defunct bands, Kerrigan of they don't sleep and Jeion of Optimist Club respectively, as well as bringing friends Thom , Caroline and Graham into the fold, So Say So seem to have found the perfect balance of the experimental instrumentalism of their previous bands with a more traditional songwriting ethic. I haven't heard a [...]
