Don't Cha Wish Your Girl Friend Was Hot Like Flat 29

For music fans in the British Isles I highly recommend watching Richard & Judy on channel 4 between 17:00 and 18:00 on Tuesday 29th November.  This program features the global TV debut of “Flat 29”, a quirky four piece from Liverpool who mix the styles of The Beastie Boys and GLC.

The show will run the recently recorded video to the new radio edit of their song “Flat 29 is for life, not just for Christmas”.  The track is taken from their 2004 debut album “Cumstains on The Sheets: The Bedroom Sessions”.

The boys are already recording some new material with a release date still to be confirmed sometime in the New Year, but anticipation is high following the success of their eclectic first record.  Cumstains on The Sheets: The Bedroom Sessions really fired a broad sided warning shot at the pop market as they displayed their versatility and willingness to turn their hand to anything.  The album puts a sensuous and velvety Marvin Gaye cover side by side with some bitterly staccato rap worthy of RUN-DMC; to top it all it is replete with a healthy dose of humour and an uncut studio session as a hidden final cut.  

Arguably the comedy gem on the disc is “A Perfect Blend” which is to the history of “Neighbours” as Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t start the Fire” is to 20th century history.  They really are proof that you don’t just have to be Welsh to laugh at your own material.
