We are excited to host a party with TEETH and French Horn Rebellion at Glasslands on June 2nd!

-TEETH-

TEETH is a... you guessed it... a big time dance-beat-making electro band. They're from London. Did you guess that? Did you guess that the band is made up of Ximon Tayki, Simon Whybray and vocalist Veronica So? If you did, you be cheatin'.

Let me tell you this, TEETH make some seriously straight-up club thumpers. You know... the non-lame club thumpers kind... so, nobody here sings like a robot. Things do get all noisy and weird though. And that's when the electro magic happens.

If this was 2001, we do believe we could call this electroclash. But we can't do that, can we? TEETH's debut is coming out soon on Moshi Moshi (Hot Chip, The Drums and lots and lots and lots). It's going to be good. And live, they're going to be really good.

- FRENCH HORN REBELLION-

As 2009 drew to a close, for Robert and David Perlick-Molinari (aka French Horn Rebellion), two brothers born and bred in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the world was a very different place to the one that started it. Since the release of their debut single "Up All Night", FHR have been swept along by a flurry of accolades from radio, press and bloggers alike, including a Record of the Week from BBC Radio 1's Nick Grimshaw and the coveted Single of the Week slot in French music bible Les Inrockuptibles, who described the band's sound as the "euphoric soundtrack to 2010".

New single "Beaches & Friends" co-written with Brazilian duo Database, friends and recent touring mates of FHR, is not quite what you would expect though. Robert explains: "The coolest thing about 'Beaches & Friends' is that the original track doesn't actually exist. It was the result of a big collaboration between us and a bunch of our friends. We and Database came up with the vocal hooks and synth lines, and from there all the different versions were created. The French Horn Rebellion NYC version, Database's Club Edit, the Twelves' Radio and Remix versions, and finally the Hey Champ Remix. Every track is a variation on a theme, a similar idea to Edward Elgar's "Enigma Variations." In fact the Beaches & Friends EP is kind of a modern-day Enigma Variations." For David: "it's a story about the search for your muse."

The media response to Beaches & Friends has even eclipsed that of "Up All Night" with continued radio support from Radio 1 including DJ's Annie Mac, Nick Grimshaw, Jaymo & Andy George and new queen of daytime Radio 1 Fearne Cotton giving the single heavy spins. Tips for 2010 in Time Out London, influential dance magazines DJ and Mixmag and The Guardian, an NME Radar feature and another Single of the Week in Les Inrockuptibles continues the press support. And on the live front a UK tour, a prestigious support to Hot Chip in New York, an appearance at Paris Fashion Week, a busy schedule at SXSW and a European tour in May including dates in Germany, Austria and Switzerland with Sebastian, will ensure the buzz continues to build well into 2010. The Oxegen, Relentless Boardmasters and Bestival festivals are confirmed with more in the pipeline.

2007 feels like a long time ago now, when younger brother Robert, an accomplished French horn player, found himself as principal horn chair of the prestigious Northwestern University Symphony Orchestra. Standing at a crossroads, and fundamentally frustrated by the demands of mastering such an instrument (that he knew would never allow him to fully express himself), he finally asked his brother David to rebel with him, and together they embarked on a life-long creative journey. That journey is well under way.
