Our Busiest Week Ever: Launches, Parties, New Videos and More!

Normally the week after a bank holiday is a quiet one, and a week between two bank holidays? - Forget it about, deadsville!

Last week was one of the those weeks straight after a busy Easter and just before the May Bank Holiday but quiet it was not .

The week(end) kicked off on Wednesday night when Le Galaxie threw open the doors of their studio to 30 superfans (picked out of over 1500 + applications) via the great Beatvyne site and threw one hell of a party to launch their new single “Pleasure”  Absolut Vodka brought some drinks to the party and you can get a taste of the night below.

We also bid a temporary farewell to our lovely Bitch Falcons as they flew across the pond to Canadian Music Week where they played two shows in Toronto - well done, bitches!

Thursday saw Le Galaxie DJ at the opening of the Blizzards lead singer Bressie’s new studio, Camden Recording studios. Meanwhile in Cork, Jack O'Rourke went live with Paul McLoone in Connolly's of Leap alongside HamSandwich and Slow Riot Band. And of course, the long awaited first music video from Ivy Nations for "Live By Design" premiered on London On The Inside!

On Friday, "PLEASURE" was officially released - you can get it now on all the usual platforms including -

Apple Music: http://apple.co/2plmaSz

Saturday gave us a very short break before Le Galaxie headed back into the Olympia for A Night in The Key of 8 in support of REPEAL THE 8TH.

Why Le Galaxie are playing the Olympia next Sunday and why we support #RepealThe8th.
