It’s time for YOU to decide who you want to see supporting the cheeky Geordie quartet…
Fancy supporting Little Comets? Thought so…
No Sweat is running a competition for two Cardiff-based acts to support Little Comets on Wednesday 28th April. We’re looking for one solo/acoustic act and one band. Fancy it? Of course you do! Here’s how it will work…
No Sweat/Heartbreaker present: LITTLE COMETS
Little Comets have been ‘introduced’ by Radio 1’s Huw Stephens, who likens them to a cheekier British version of Vampire Weekend. How have they earned this cheeky reputation? By playing guerrilla gigs at camp sites, call centres, beaches, university lecture theatres, on trams and in the bakery aisle of Newcastle’s Marks & Spencer. That’s how!
