Why are they here (again)?
WHITE LIES, or at least their management, are responsible for getting my previous post (from 12/09/2008) about the band deleted and have my Filden account suspended. Hence the reason there's no longer any mp3's accompanying posts, but I have no resentment of the band at all, the track was unreleased at the time and I was at fault, so...
I want to tell you yet again that this band will pick up 2009 and claim it as their's with staggering ease. Their massive dark rock is powerful and compelling; as is their live show, never before have I come across a band so small putting on such a spectacular display. If I book only one band next year then I want it to be these guys, their previous incarnation Fear of Flying was something special and I regret missing the chance to bring them to Wrexham, but White Lies are on a completely different level. They're going on tour with Glasvegas in December as well as headlining a few shows themselves towards the end of the year; seriously, don't miss them.
