Sunderland's finest purveyors of pop, Frankie & the Heartstrings, have announced a Pop Sex club night at the Lexington, London on Friday 24th February. Tickets on sale today.
The band themselves will be performing a headline live set, and will be performing a selection of new songs mooted for their second album, they're in the process of writing. Also appearing live are much-discussed Leeds newcomers Hookworms who have recently performed with the likes of The Men and Peaking Lights. In addition there will be special guest DJs - to be announced shortly, alongside a further live performance.
The show comes at the end of a run of the band's dates with The Kaiser Chiefs culminating at the Hammersmith Apollo on 23rd February.
Between writing their second album and two bouts of shows with the Kaisers and The Vaccines, Frankie & The Heartstrings are set to release the debut 7" by Sunderland artist Ajimal, on their Pop Sex Ltd label. You can hear Ajimal's single at www.ajimal.bandcamp.com
