Nobody has died. To keep this news clean, lets just say that the Brighton, UK outfit of 129 Die in Jet! has just started a new band and they are slowly picking up some speed. So new, they have only played one gig together. No one needs confusion.
129 Die in Jet!, composed of Pete Lambrou (vocals, guitar), Tim Walters (guitar), Luke Alberry (guitar), David Smith (bass) and Andrew McKellar (drums), capture the melodramatic G-spot with an emotional charge reminiscent of a fever during a lightning storm. Courtesy of Lambrou's uniquely lowered voice and the accented electric playing along with him, the sound can send a shiver or a shock down the spine.
With a name based on Andy Warhol's series, Lambrou said, "We just found the simplicity and gut-wrenching of the whole series quite formidable. So in theory the songs are simple, and with a dark tone."
Originally founded by Lambrou and Walters, all of 129 Die in Jets!'s recordings have been done by the pair so far with Lambrou picking up the bass and Walters adding the drums to their repertoire. Lambrou, also the founder of Nice Weather For Airstrikes Records, claims Last Days of Lorca and Monsters Build Mean Robots under his indie label.
According to Lambrou, 129 Die in Jets! already have an EP in the works and anticipate a late year to early '09 release. To catch the group check out their myspace, or if you are in the Brighton area, keep a kean eye out for their shows.
