Featuring two members of Le Tigre and one member of Peaches' live band, New York-based project Men will be in the UK (read London) for live dates at the end of this month, playing just three smallish gigs. Sounding relatively close to LT's disco laced synth-punk, there's nothing mind blowing here, but songs like 'Off Our Backs' and 'Make It Reverse' are pockets of joy - both instantly infectious, shout-a-long pop. Best of the songs streaming is 'Credit Card Babies', which is the kind of dub-lite number that Lily Allen should have recorded for her latest record, utilising profanities with the kind of brashness that America has become synonymous with: "I'm gonna fuck my best to make a little, tiny baby".
