This year's Audioscope festival in Oxford will take place on Saturday November 15th, raising money for housing and homelessness charity Shelter. Audioscope will be looking to add to the 17,000 pounds it has raised for Shelter since 2001.

There is a strong Gringo link this year with Soeza, Hey Colossus and That F**king Tank (former members of our own Kill Yourself) all set to perform. Kid606, Boxcutter, The Oscillation, Witches, The Workhouse, You Animals, and Sunnyvale Noise Sub-element complete the bill. The event will take place at The Jericho from 1pm until midnight.

Advance tickets are 11 pound, and available online from We Got Tickets, who will also donate their booking fee to the charity. Tickets will also be available on the door.
Visit audioscope for more details.

Soeza will also be playing a couple of gigs with France's NLF3 in the days running up to Audioscope.

'Everyone is People' is the new Lords album. It is out through Gringo on October 6th. It is distributed by Cargo. The artwork is by Kai Wong. It has 9 songs and a secret 10th track to harmoniously resolve the often troubled waters contained within and up to that point. It also rocks very hard indeed. CD and LP available to purchase now from the Gringo Records shop. The LP comes with a free download of the album and three extra tracks: covers of 'Cheap Sunglasses' by ZZ Top, 'Dour Hogwax' by labelmates Bilge Pump and their version of 'Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me And My Monkey' that featured in BBC Radio One's tribute to The Beatles' White Album.
