Today's idea - Lyrebirds single launch at The Hope



Today Lyrebirds launch their second single through Chess Club records. It would be too easy to peg them as somewhere between Arcade Fire and Joy Division, so have a listen. You can find them on Myspace, Lastm.fm and Facebook.

They come with support in the shape of slightly mad The Agitator (last.fm/Myspace) and Holy Vessels (Last.fm/Myspace) who pull of country rock in likable, knee jiggling way. If you want to listen to country rock without feeling like a redneck, this is the best way to go about it. There'll also be a Maccabees DJ set.

This all takes place at The Hope, one of the places in Brighton I can rely on to be lovely (most of the time) and one which I don't frequent enough. They describe themselves as "a bustling, music-led, watering hole popular with everyone from skinny, guitar-toting types to the after-work crowd" and The Strokes have even played there in the past. Cor 'eck, what a lovely evening.

Doors at 8pm
Tickets £5

Find the event on Facebook and Last.fm.
