In December that year they played the Barfly with Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies and Reagan (now called Fans Of Kate), where they were seen for the first time by Simon White, the one-time Menswe@r guitarist (ask your big brother) who is now Bloc Party's manager, at which he rejoices.
2004 is when things really did go crazy.The A&R men pounced on them and deals were offered left, right and centre.Before anything was signed they put out She's Hearing Voices on 7" on Trash Aesthetics, the label run by a couple of young chaps called Rob and Tim (the latter had promoted the first ever Angel Range gig at the Verge in Kentish Town).
