Hey guys! Nightmare and the Cat (Dave Stewart's sons' band) are playing the Mercury Lounge on Tuesday for the release of the new EP. Anyone who follows Dave on twitter has probably heard their songs already, but give them a go if you haven't. I think they're pretty great and Mercury Lounge is one of my favorite spots to hear live music, so I'll definitely be there. Let me know if any of you are going and want to meet up.

Ugh, I'm jealous. I was going to go down there a few weeks ago to see them in LA but I couldn't pull it off thanks to work. Let me know how it goes!

Glowing review from the New York Times.

It’s unusual for an opening act to outshine the headliner, but for Nightmare and the Cat it’s becoming par for the course. Led by the barely legal frontman Django James and his brother Samuel Stewart, the Los Angeles group is a rock ‘n’ roll force to be reckoned with. With moves not seen since Elvis Presley last took the stage, James and his cohorts are utterly captivating to watch and bring an energy to their live show that is increasingly rare. Nightmare performed at Mercury Lounge recently, celebrating the release of their self-titled EP, and held a dancing crowd under their spell from start to finish. Their showmanship is a testament to the brothers’ rightful position in the royal court of pop music as the children of the Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart and Bananarama’s Siobhan Fahey.

I saw them at Heroes in Camden a couple weeks ago and they were absolutely fantastic. My friends and I had a great time and ended up talking to Django and Claire for a little while after the show.

Their EP is amazing as well. I'm not sure how much it is in America, but here it was only 5 pounds. I recommend picking it up for the songs "Sarah Beth" and "Little Poet" alone.
