FORTUNA POP! PRESENTS (NOT) THE TRACK AND FIELD WINTER SPRINTER

4-6 January 2011 – The Lexington, London

featuring Shrag, The Loves, Standard Fare, Comet Gain, The Loft, Veronica Falls, Darren Hayman & The Secondary Modern, Tender Trap and The Leaf Library

For years our friends at the Track & Field Organisation ran their Winter Sprinter on the first week of the new year, an otherwise cold and barren week for live music. Now they no longer exist we’ve decided to step into the breach, make off with their idea, and provide three nights of the best bands around, designed to warm your cockles and bring a smile to your face in that otherwise dismal time right after new year.

OK, so a lot of the bands playing are on the Fortuna POP! label as you would expect, such as The Loves (who have a new final album out in January), Comet Gain (with a new album due in April), Darren Hayman & The Secondary Modern (who have just released another fantastic album) and Tender Trap (whose album Dansette Dansette was released to critical acclaim earlier this year). However, as we’re friendly people, we’ve also invited some of our favourite bands to fill out the bill including the incredible Standard Fare, indiepop darlings Veronica Falls and the majestic Leaf Library.
