Well versed in making delightfully simple synth-pop, Micachu is about as East London as it gets, from her appearance on Man Like Me's comical marching band ode to British weather (helpfully named 'British Weather', which, incidentally, sounds like a modern day Madness) to her fluoro-tinted MySpace design and, erm, use of a hoover as part of her live set (this, admittedly, doesn't fit any stereotype). Already racking up support from His Holiness Rob da Bank, she's sounding best on 'Golden Phone', a lazy pop song in the sense that it creeps up on you in the most unsuspecting ways, void of a chorus in the traditional sense yet still full of enough pop satire to engage the listener throughout. Playing extensively across the South East of England over the next few months, her MySpace page will give you a taster of what she's about.
