The View Top UK Album Charts (TGTBTQ At #2)!
The young Scots have the number one album this week with their debut release, Hats Off To The Buskers! Who saw this one coming?One year ago this week, Arctic Monkeys pulled off the same exact feat - although that debut broke all sorts of UK records, most importantly, the most albums sold in a week ever, period, done - The View barely beat out Damon Albarn's new project, The Good The Bad & The Queen for the top spot.
Also...
BOTH BANDS WILL BE COMING TO NYC SOON (albeit separately):
March 12 - The Good The Bad & The Queen @ Webster Hall (not on sale yet)
March 20 - The View @ Bowery Ballroom (not sold out yet but surely will be any day now)
MP3s: The View - Skag Trendy + The Good The Bad & The Queen - Behind The Sun
Labels: charts, the good the bad and the queen, the view

bizarrely, the view are also coming to luna lounge march 3 in what is probably the best double bill you'll find for $10 -- opening for young knives.
thanks anon! that is a spectacular double bill.. how is the new luna? anybody been there yet?
And they're from Dundee!
Although I have to say, they don't really float my boat - sound very similar to some of the stuff that's been happening with King Creosote and Fife's Fence Collective, just not as good...
skye, i forgot they're ur hometown boys!
give the album a full spin, it has its moments.
the singles in particular are fantastic.
