Eighties Matchbox go Top 20?
_adam_ by Adam Anonymous January 8th, 2003
The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster are staking an early claim for the first obscurity-to-chart rock success of the year with new single ‘Psychosis Safari’.

Apparently the Matchbox boys are at number 24 in the midweek charts, so – with B-Line B-side action including two tracks produced by Amen screamer Casey Chaos, plus a 3D picture disc 7” no less – you know what to do. Um. Buy it.

Disasterheads can also get their fix on Channel 4’s 'Born Sloppy' this Friday (January 10), or else hotfoot to the following venues later this month where there are still a few tickets going spare:

16th – Coventry Coliseum
17th – London Garage (now SOLD OUT)
18th – Stoke Sugarmill
19th – Edinburgh The Venue
20th – Peterborough Met Lounge

The Black Madonnas support on the first four dates.

DiScuss: Which other battling underdogs will move into the big-time limelight this year? And why do The Eighties...have such a ridiculous name?
