I'm 100% thrilled to announce that one of the most hotly-tipped new U.K. bands will be playing the Fall installment of MusicSnobbery.com Presents @ Joe's Pub. I'm also stunned and humbled that this is going to happen. No joke, if somebody asked me if I could book any U.K. act that haven't come to America yet, without hesitation, it would be Lucky Soul.

Lucky for me and lucky for you, they'll be playing a full set and they will be the only act on the bill. The band is giddy with excitement about playing in New York for the first time. Honestly, I do think this will sell out, so don't hesitate and get your tickets now.

I got wind of them before they released their debut album, The Great Unwanted, in the U.K. I wrote in that post, I described them as "The Cardigans have a dinner party with St. Etienne and The Pipettes." After hearing "Add Your Light to Mine," I was instantly smitten and rushed to ebay to pick up an import copy of the album. From front to back, it's just about as wonderful and delighful an album as one could hope for. The album is available via iTunes, if you so choose to have it in that form.

Since then, I've been checking their myspace for updates to see if they're going to get some U.S. love. It's only until the past few months, that the band's tenacity has paid off. The music was featured on ER and Men in Trees as well as a Payless Shoestore commercial. Hey, you take what you can get. So all the planets are aligning for them for you to discover them for yourself. More importantly for all us, we can see them in live form!
