CMU ON THE SOCIAL
For nearly ten years CMU has been reporting on and writing about and bigging up all kinds of great new music. Among the artists to get some of their earliest coverage in CMU over the years are Stereophonics, Eminem, Snow Patrol, Dandy Warhols, Delays, The Streets, Franz Ferdinand, Scissor Sisters, McFly, Kasabian, The Killers and Arctic Monkeys to mention just a few. To mark its tenth year, CMU launched its own monthly night meaning we can now not only talk about but also showcase the new bands we're most exciting about - and just five months in we've had some storming sets from bands and artists like Infadels, A.Human, Maths Class, Vessels, The Deer Tracks, Sportsday Megaphone, RestLessList, Big Strides and The Penny Black Remedy. And this month, we'll add two more brilliant bands to that list.

	CMU ON POST WAR YEARS: Post War Years have been causing quite a stir this year, thanks to shows with the likes of MGMT, Tom Vek and Does It Offend You, Yeah? They have also just completed a UK tour with White Lies, which ended with a sold out show at the ICA. Their single, 'Black Morning', received airplay on BBC Radio 1, BBC 6music and Xfm earlier this year, as well as picking up glowing reviews from the likes of The Times, Fader and Artrocker. Their live performances are whirlwind of racing synths, samplers, and vocal harmonies and band members switching instruments and their sound sits somewhere between Joy Division and Talking Heads. We can't wait. www.myspace.com/thempostwaryears
	CMU ON GILLAN EDGAR: Hailing from Manchester, Gillan is getting noticed in all the right places at the moment, including the CMU office, where it was quickly decided that he's exactly the kind of guy we want playing for us. His music recalls The Beatles, Ryan Adams and Elliott Smith, with great lyrics and hooks so large they probably shouldn't be allowed. He recently supported Pete Doherty in London, where he went down a storm, and we expect the same when he plays for us. www.myspace.com/gillanedgar
