Playing on the NYC Downlow Stage Friday.
We are two guys (Austen and Will) from Lincoln, England who make and play music that we love.
It all started last summer when, after playing separately for ages at some of the city's most popular nights, we decided to start working together and BLAM.....Urchins were born.
Since then we've remixed people like AC Slater, Foamo and Malente which has given us releases on labels like Palms Out, Chew The Fat and Southern Fried, which we're really proud of. Our debut EP is coming out on Palms Out in January 2010, consisting of two tracks with Spoek (of Djedjotronic's Boys Noize EP). 'Tickets', the title track has had some huge support; national radio plays and has been played by Kissy Sell Out and Utah Saints at Global Gathering, along with a host of other big names across the country. Remixes come from our good friends Kid Kaio, Destroy Disco, Sticky K and Blatta and Inesha. We're super excited about it!!
We've since worked on a couple of more techno oriented songs which will be out early next year, and have remixed Groove Armada's next single - 'Paper Romance' which will be out in February 2010.
We also contribute to PALMS OUT SOUNDS blog, and help in the A&R of the Palms Out label - which allows us to break a wide range of music from peers and upcoming producers that we love, so please feel free to send us any music that you think we might like!
We're about to start a monthly radio show on theHype.fm, which will go out every third Tuesday at 7pm GMT / 2pm EST.
We've played some really sick nights and with some huge people; like Jokers of The Scene, Herve, Kissy Sellout, Jack Beats, Caspa, b2b w/ AC Slater, b2b w/ A1 Bassline, Foamo, Lee Mortimer, His Majesty Andre, Shinichi Osawa and countless others. We LOVE playing out quite a lot - so please try come and see us soon!
