South London separatist trio Flash Fiktion embark on their first UK tour this February and the trio will support American Hipsters The Bravery for a number of special dates to mark in your diaries.
Ambitiously attacking the art of the ‘big tune’ in the same vein as Blur, Les Savy Fav, The Vines and Klaxons, Matt, Ollie and Dan mix twinkling psychedelia, visual oddity, afro-cuban beats and some massive pop hooks.
Their debut Leni/Science of Sleep was heralded by everyone from Heat magazine to Zane Lowe, alongside the more usual suspects.
Forthcoming single, Capsules of Sun, has already been heavily remixed by some modern day visionaries such as DiD, Is Tropical, Lexxx and Old Arc, so the track is hot to trott.
Flash Fiktion’s recent live shows at Koko’s Club NME have been an aural feast, (hallucinogenically-spiked ELO anyone?). Don’t miss this bludgeoning of the senses whatever you do.
