Brighton's finest bar-room chamber-pop quintet (so we're told) chose their name after performing at the wedding of a wealthy couple in Rome. It's probably safe to say that they didn't get the party swinging. But a realisation that money can't buy happiness is not the only thing The Miserable Rich bring to the table. Having begun as an electro project, they are now a string quintet with little respect for the pomp and ceremony of classical music. They release an EP of covers, which they have called 'Covers', on Monday. Head to their MySpace page to hear all four tracks that feature upon it, paying particular attention to the fragile takes on 'Gigantic' by The Pixies and 'Sweet Dreams' by The Eurythmics.
