A 12 track mini album that is big on ideas \u2018 I\u2019m Ok\u2019 represents a progression in style for the band, using conventional instruments like Cello and Brass in unconventional ways, to compliment their usual array of found sounds, squeaks and samples. The album also features one of the band member\u2019s grandmother, providing vocals for two of the tracks. How lovely. The three piece hail from Normandy, France and write DIY pop songs with echoes of <strong>The Vaselines,<\/strong> Beat Happening and Lou Barlow\u2019s solo endeavours. Fidelity, presidential assassinations, suicide and the golden years of retirement are just some of the subjects that Gable tackle with their unique blend of humour and musical invention.<\/p>\n<p>Since the release of \u201c7 Guitars\u2026\u201d the band has been touring constantly with the likes of Health, Dan Deacon and punk-funkers Chk Chk Chk (!!!).<br \/>\nGaBl\u00e9\u2019s live show is a sight to behold. Samplers, recorders, a horn and a hoover provide an invigorating accompaniment to melodic singing, explosive spluttering and bizarre ejaculations. The release will be available as a limited edition of 300 12\u201d records, screen printed by the band themselves, suplimented by individually hand drawn illustrations by kids of the band\u2019s local grammar school in Caen.

A Crooked Bristol threesome with an ear for brief melodies and fluctuating rhythms; passionately impatient and wantonly erratic, the Jelas inhabit the underused footbridge between The Shangri Las and Wire, playing what can probably only be described as no-riot-math-grrrl-wave.<br \/>\nBass, Drums, Guitar and three voices ache to show you what pleasant terror is sure to arise when a band is born of three seemingly friendly people with non-existent attention spans and time on their hands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/thejelas\" target=\"_blank\">Official Website<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Record Label: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.localkid.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Local Kid<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">MR DUKE AND THE HOODLUM CIRCUS<\/p>\n<p style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\"><strong>Mr Duke &amp; The Hoodlum Circus<\/strong> are a bunch of weirdos.
