Launch party sold out and they were immense even doing a cover of the HUMAN LEAGUE' Dont you Want me and a Dizzee Rascal song in the encore !
Yes noticed the Pet Shop Boys connection last night because the gig was heavily mixed. I never saw them at the Scala.
Easily the best band live I have seen this year and their album is selling fast on I tunes etc.
I really hope they get some airplay now for their new single. If they were on a major label it would be A Listed - just shows the power of the "dollar" in playlisting these days.

Saw Minus IQ a while back at the Scala, seriously good live! Wouldn't say they're much like White Lies though, the singer's a lot more charismatic and they're more towards a kind of heavy pet-shop-boys sound.
Really worth checking out!

Good to see so many people rating this band so highly.
They pack an amazing punch live. Like all bands they just need one Radio One DJ to start championing them then I am sure they will be massive.
With the current interest in 80s sounding bands I think they are a band who can actually give the Killers a run for their money
Come on UK music industry - get behind these lads.

I couldn't agree more, the white lies are about as samey as it comes.
The minus iq lads are just as sweet on the stage as they are off, lovely guys who pack one hell of a performance, love it! x
