This weeks band I first saw in one of those odd moments where your brain goes "I should make a note of this."

Battant.

They were supporting Ladytron up here in 2005, and I literally went, 'whoa, these are gonna be big'. I bought their ep and it was brilliant.

Not only that, but they are extremely nice people, and even gave me advice for my first solo gig.

Sounding like an electro band with added funk, and with a singer that reminds me of all the best things about Siouxie Sioux (especially on stage).
