The Subtonics to strut ther stuff at TBMC

Expect to rub shoulders with a whoop – or should that be flange? – of A&R people on December 5 when The Subtonics play the Temple Bar Music Centre.

Says a spokesperson: "After their showcase at Manchester's In The City music conference last month, RCA, Polydor, Mercury, Columbia's US office and 679 Recordings, home to The Streets, are all in heated pursuance of the band."

Meanwhile, The Subtonics management has been taken over by the people behind the Working Class Heroes weekend, Wrong Tape Speed.
