New band: The Shoestrung

A new band with some obviously vintage influences - The Shoestrung.

According to the band's MySpace page, influences include the likes of The Rolling Stones, The Small Faces and Terry Reid, which is always a good start. And after a listen to the tunes on MySpace, you can see why - a mix of old school British R&B (Stones and Yardbirds for example) with a touch of new school indie. Not a bad place to be 2010.

You can catch them live Zoo Zoo! at The Blues Kitchen, 111-113 Camden High Street, London NW1 7JN with DJ support, taking place from 10pm - 3am. Admission is free before 11pm, £3 after.
