Festival season is (almost) upon us! Would you Adam & Eve it?? Trawling the London line-ups for juicy things to check out, I was just about losing the plot (and the use of my ears) when, praise be, I stumbled upon some stupendous chawns by the silly-named Christian AIDS, by all accounts a reclusive band from Manchester. Having done a bit of the ol' research, it looks like I'm quite late to pick up on these guys; the blogosphere has been all over them like a rash of late. And well they might be - I keep listening to the band's Soundcloud page over and over again.
They fit quite nicely into this whole 'chillwave' thing that's been going on, although let's not put them into such a crappily-named musical category. They make that finest kind of house music that is both relaxed and fantastically thumpy at the same time. It's cool as hell, but if your partial to a bit of ravey cheese as a guilty pleasure to lift those knees up to, they've got something in store for you as well.
The good news is they've got a single out soon, available for pre-order now from Double Denim Records. Hurry up and nab one if you like it though, it's a limited 7" of 500 copies. The single is on their Soundcloud named Stay Positive, but just to cement their status in the uber-cool musical underground they've changed it to Stay +. Well, you've gotta keep up with them kids these days, haven't you? Check it out below:

And, to return to what I started off by saying about festivals before I rambled on a bit, they're playing at the Stag & Dagger festival in London on 19th May. So get a ticket, aaiiight?
