Considering the rate at which songs are infiltrating the internet, it's difficult to distinguish what's real and what's a big hoax. Meet Bitchee Bitchee Ya Ya Ya, the artist (or is that artists?) responsible for a couple of hot new songs that are perplexing everyone in the blogosphere. While anyone could be responsible, it appears whoever it is has cool friends in close places, as Bitchee's already whipped up remixes for Bonde Do Role ("Office Boy") and Poney Poney ("Junior"). Even better though are her/their two original tracks: "Fuck Friend" and "Tu Connais le Chanson." Of course, it sounds like your 12-year-old kid sister screwing around with a Casio and GarageBand, but goddammit, this is some catchy and adorable lo-fi shit. I give them till the weekend before someone unmasks these kids.

SHITDISCO - I Know Kung Fu
Label: Fierce Panda
Cat No: NING 206T
Genre: Electroclash
Released: 12 November
Format: 12"

So Klaxons went and won the Mercury Prize, pretty much ensuring any energy and excitement surrounding what was called Nu-Rave all but disappeared. After all, once a scene is recognised at that level by bunch of industry types it begins to lose any relevance to those who love finding the next new thing.
Someone appears to have forgotten to tell Shitdisco, because they are still rocking the party just as hard as they did when they were throwing their legendary house parties back in 2003 at their drummer's flat.
Mind you, I Know Kung Fu has absolutely nothing to do with Nu-Rave. Shitdisco might break out the dance beats, and thundering basslines at will but everything you need to know about this band is right there at the start of the song. The rolling tom-toms and the unhinged vocals that introduce I Know Kung Fu and the taut guitar patterns that drive the song show that Shitdisco have more in common with New Wave than Nu-Rave.
On this kind of form Shitdisco would have sweat dripping off the walls even if you were listening to this on your own on headphones in an industrial freezer. Their mix of dance and punk is infectious and shot through with pure energy. This is no shit disco, it's a fucking festival.
Sam ShepardWhile it’s probably too damning to call them the nearly men of nu-rave, Glasgow’s Shitdisco have never really made the lasting impression their moniker should demand. Their previous offerings have been toe-tapping electro-rockers for sure, but has one of them stuck in the memory for longer than a five-minute booty shake? Nope.
Same old same old with ‘I Know Kung Fu’ (Matrix reference, is it?), which marries snarled vocals with super-speed beats and happy hand-claps. Of course, it all slows for a wee while to allow an audience the opportunity to catch a breath or two, but the reprisal eruption hits heavier and harder second time around. All good, then, but completely forgettable seconds after the last manic shriek from vocalist Joel.
If they’re happy to continue in the not-quite bracket, then Shitdisco can come away from this release content; if, however, they’re seeking that as-yet-elusive breakthrough, this isn’t it.

UK CD pressing of the reissue of this single lifted from the British Electro-Disco quintet's debut album Fantastic Playroom. With the distinctive tones of the outspoken and brilliant Tahita Bulmer - married with the perfect blend of syncopated Pop laced with robust choppy guitar riffs, 'Get Lucky' escalates into a rousing hands-in-the-air chorus to create another slice of mesmerizing Indie Disco Pop that they so effortlessly excel in. Features three versions of 'Get Lucky': Main Version, MSTRKRFT Remix and Who Made Who Mix. Island.
from Manchester evening news
FUNNY how live favourites can lose their charm in the studio. Case in point?
Get Lucky - its saucy beat a sure crowd stirrer in concert halls the land over, but likely to force you into nothing more serious than a rhythmic twitch on record.
Tom Vek meets The Rapture, Get Lucky is laced with all the right disco beats and hipster credentials, but Tahita Bulmer's usually cool drawl is draining and the repetitive rhythms uninspired.

(note from me. Sarah Walters knows shit , this band is the best in the pop scene)
