London’s Sohodolls are hot like fire! They’ve been on UK scene for a few years, but now they’re ready to go big and make an impression on the world with their upcoming debut album, ‘Ribbed Music for the Numb Generation’. The album will be released this September 10th, imprinted on Filthy Pretty Records, with production and mix-down by Robert Harder (producer of Whitey, Babyshambles and Ali Love, among others) and Steve Lyon (co-producer for Depeche Mode and The Cure, among others).

The fox with the tape-y nipple that you see above is Maya von Doll—writer and singer of Sohodolls. The tracks below span from 2005 to now, but some of the best songs are a slow burn before the inferno! I’m the kind of simp that falls in love with strippers, so the Sohodolls single, ‘Stripper’ is my jammy.

MP3: Sohodolls - Stripper

MP3: Sohodolls - My Vampire

MP3: Sohodolls - Trash the Rental

Icing on the cake would be a Crystal Castles remix. And fancy that, there is one! ‘Trash the Rental’ just got trashier.

Crazy UK New Rave kids, Trash Fashion are still doing big things and touring close to their London home. Their record is now in non-existent sold out quantities, but the mp3 lives on! Try this Rhythm Dr. remix of a newer track, ‘Mom & Dad’:

MP3: Trash Fashion - Mom & Dad (Rhythm Dr Bodyshake Remix)

Now, another recent remix of their most popular, ‘It’s a Rave Dave’ by NY duo Denny Le Nimh and Bryan Cox:

MP3: Trash Fashion - It’s a Rave Dave (Denny Le Nimh & Bryan Cox Cause of Death Remix)

Lastly, let’s round things out with our favorite remix from the O.G. sold-out single—That JE2 remix that we were “raving” on about in the Michael Hooker Mini Mix Part 6 post from earlier this year. And it stands worth mentioning that JE2 is Michael Hooker (and Elcias). Without further adieu:

MP3: Trash Fashion - It’s a Rave Dave (JE2 Grade 8 Mix)

Visit Trash fashion on MySpace or their official site. Also, we’ve got a little Trash Fashion archive going on. …Fingers crossed they do more, play more, and press more records.

The phrase, “the next big thing” gets thrown around a lot, and I might do more than my fair share of throwing. But wait! Really! The Neon Plastix just might be the next big thing in UK (Doncaster) indie/dance music. Their new songs keep pace right along with the Klaxons and they dish out that day-glo-y new rave sound. But, at moments they remind me more of L.A. dance-rockers Moving Units. No matter how I try to pigeon-hole it, I love it.

I can’t stop listening. Enjoy the new ones:

MP3:  The Neon Plastix - Gentlemans Gold

MP3:  The Neon Plastix - 18-30s

MP3:  The Neon Plastix - Untitled

Note the MP3s above are transcodes from 128kbps .M4A files using switch (software). TNP gave us .M4A files but our WordPress (how we be bloggin’) audio player doesn’t support it and neither do I.

Here’s a new remix The Neon Plastix did (their first one) for Late of the Pier:

MP3:  Late of the Pier - Space and the Woods (The Neon Plastix Remix)

And lastly, for good measure, here’s the b-side, “On Fire” from last year’s The Neon Plastix single titled, “Alive”, just in case you missed it the first time around on the Green Pea-ness blog:

I’m excited for this. The homie Them Jeans, who we’ve already featured in this post, throws this weekly club in Hollywood and it’s always the heat—and that’s exactly why I’ve been there more Tuesdays over the last 3 years than I’ve not been there. You should go too if you’re able, like tonight. You can’t argue with the line up, and if you get there early there’s free booze it’s a breeze to get in. If you can’t make it, Trash Fashion is doing more Cali dates in San Diego and San Francisco before their return to their UK home. Dates and info for all these artists can be found in the links at the bottom.

And truth be told, I’m very obsessed with Does It Offend You, Yeah? (Good Weather for Airstrikes can bring you up to speed with their artist profile). Their essential “We Are Rockstars” has been a dance party requirement for months and months on end and we’re still not sick of it. Not even slightly.

MP3: Does It Offend You, Yeah? - We Are Rockstars

And another one:

MP3:Does It Offend You, Yeah? - Se7en

If you want to be down with Trash Fashion, give this one a try:

If you want to be down with Them Jeans, give this just released rework a listen:
