Congratulations to Twitter users @SallyTraffic and @HoxtonTit, they’ve won our competition in association with CHEW LiPS and Topman CTRL. Limited edition T-Shirts designed by Tigs herself are on it’s way to them!
Check out http://www.topmanctrl.com for news of the forthcoming Controllers tour.
Were still in the thick of our CHEW LiPS competition, in association with Topman CTRL, to win a limited edition T-shirt designed by the Tigs herself! There’s still a week to enter, find the info here.
As part of their stint as Topman controllers CHEW LiPS also hand picked the line up for a very special gig at the Cardiff Arts Institute, that was supposed to be on 16th April.
Well…certain Icelandic volcanoes had other ideas!
Stuck in New York and desperate to get to Cardiff (now there’s a movie I would go and see!) the band had to regretfully cancel the gig leaving troopers Party Horse to soldier on alone.
But have no fear ticket holders! The show has been rescheduled and tickets previously purchased will still be valid.
The new date is Wednesday 9th June at the Cardiff Arts Centre (support acts to be confirmed).
The good news is that gives you time to save up for that fancy hat you wanted to wear! Also, if you win a T-shirt in our competition it has time to arrive in the post so you can wear it with pride!
Maybe sometimes volcanoes are a blessing in disguise!
CHEW LiPS début album, ‘Unicorn’, and the current single ‘Karen’ are out now.
Each month Topman pick a current, exiting, UK band to become Topman CTRL Controllers, giving them a chance to share some of their inspirations and current raves on the Topman CTRL site, their month culminating in a headlining gig with a line up hand picked by the band. This month they have really outdone themselves by handing over the helm to awesome ElectroPoppers CHEW LiPS.
Here at electronic rumours we’ve managed to get our hands on a pair of exclusive Topman T-shirts designed by CHEW LiPS to kick off their control of the Topman CTRL site, http://www.myspace.com/topmanctrl, in April.
As is the CTRL way, CHEW LiPS will be headlining a night of great bands and great music hand picked by the trio. Alongside themselves will be Party Horse, Ten Bears and DJ Dan Strange! All this will be going down 16th April at the Cardiff Arts Institute in, obviously, Cardiff.
