Gotta be the twee band, which really wasn't all THAT twee cause they had loud guitars and evil lyrics.

Label because of St Etienne and East Village.

E-Dancer!

Seeing as how Chemical Brothers weren't actually on Heavenly the record company (at least according to Wiki?) I'm gonna go with the band.

I own that E-Dancer comp but I haven't listened to it for like 10 years, I remember not liking the synth sounds Saunderson used on that project. Maybe I should give it a new try, to see if my mind has changed.

My grandma got it for me for xmas, it's way awesome (But not as good as Derrick May's "Innovator", which she also got me)

― gabourey voltaire (Stevie D), Monday, 22 March 2010 16:22 (sixteen years ago)

Chemical Brothers' Live at the Heavenly Social was on Heavenly Records. That's a good album, or at least it was at the time. I'm going with Amelia's lot though.

Man I loved me some Heavenly (the band) when I was a teenager.

"Twee band" might do for the French Heavenly, too.

in a perfect world amelia fletcher would win every poll.

I remember meeting a girl the first week of freshman year in college and seeing that she had a "The Decline and Fall of Heavenly" poster on her wall and thinking "Yes! This girl has good friend potential". I was right.

They recently released their Peel sessions on Bandcamp (as well as Amelia's follow up band, Marine Research).

Stewart Lee did the Calvin vocals last night, Darren Hayman the night before.

(didn't go myself despite this being 5 minutes from my flat. reports from friends said it was packed)

― koogs, Sunday, 21 May 2023 03:28 (three years ago)

How did you enjoy it, ENBB? Loads of my friends went and had a blast.

― emil.y, Sunday, 21 May 2023 13:10 (three years ago)

It was in fact packed and it was an absolute blast. :) I thought they sounded amazing. It was just a lot of fun.

Here's Lee doing C's part on C is the Heavenly option.

I saw the pinefox but the pinefox did not see me and I didn't have a chance to say hi.
