Future Kings Of Spain
Venetian Blinds

Red Flag

WE SAY

Two great singles in succession from the Irish rockers, and Venetian Blinds is even hookier and bigger then previous Record of the Day Hanging Around. The band are fresh from touring the UK with My Red Cell and The Ludes, touring Europe with Muse, and winning Best New Act at the Irish Meteors (The Thrills won it last year). Now they're touring the UK and Ireland, including London's Barfly on May 10.
