"Let's hear it for T.S. Eliot!"

This week we have obsessively been listening to ’Weekend In Hatfield’ by Yo Chomsky! (that is their exclamation mark by the way), a band who - for one month only - have changed their name to Hola Zizec! (again that exclamation mark is theirs) seemingly just to confuse everyone and scupper their own chances of becoming well-known.

The song itself is a rough-as-fuck live version of the track recorded at Nottingham’s Rock City, by the band who “haven’t had time to record anything yet” (by ‘time’, they probably mean ‘money’) and sits on their MySpace page alongside some of the most original, and most badly-produced, demos we’ve heard in a long time.

There is a lot to suggest Yo Chomsky!/Hola Zizec! will one day be a very good band (they fuse guitars, beats and deft/daft lyrics to great effect), but until they make it into the studio to tidy up the rough-edged brilliance of tunes like ‘Weekend In Hatfield’, we won’t know for sure.
