One Dollar Peep Show pulled off a stonker at the Zodiac in Oxford last Wednesday, despite guitarist 'big' Nigel Firth's best efforts to sabotage the set.
Matt was in the crowd and he has this to say,
Last night I ventured into Oxford to the Market Tavern to listen to a couple of bands. Among them was a band called "One Dollar Peep Show". Their sound was similar to Garbage in their hay-day with a bit of Goldfrapp thrown in. Worth a listen, but not your usual sort of rock music.

‘Singled Out - snot, sniffles and snazzy sounds’Yes indeed - this particular edition of Singled Out has been a real labour of love assembled in a piecemeal fashion while under the influence of large doses of paracetemol, lemon, honey, anti decongestives and lashings upon lashings of Jack Daniels and though none of the bastards appear to have worked we have enjoyed our new found pastime of trying to remember what day it is and exactly when a group of barn dancing midgets wearing steel tipped boots took up residence in our head to belt out what can only be described as a persistent slam dance all nighter.
