One Thing: Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.
We're kicking off a brand new series here at Neu!. Having spent the best part of the morning stumbling over names, we've finally settled on "One Thing", for that's what it is: a bunch of bands telling us the one thing they think everyone should know about them. A sort of mission statement, if you will.
Following Pure X last week, we've Joshua Epstein - one half of Detroit duo Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., who will pay their first UK shows this October.
So, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., what's the one thing everyone should know about you?
"We both eat a gluten-free diet, which makes beer something that we cannot have."
Lovely.

Field Day: Times & Planner
You may have noticed, but we've been away for a while, so you'll have to forgive us for catching up.
That means we've not had a chance to wax lyrical over this year's Field Day line up. You'll catch us being more than a bit obsessed with the tombola in Victoria Park on Saturday, but otherwise we might be watching everyone from Wild Beasts through to Star Slinger and Electrelane.
Anyway - the times for this year's event are out. You can read them by clicking 'Read On', or download this planner made by the good folks over at TLOBF Read on »One Thing: Pure X

First up, we've Nate Grace - one third of Austin Trio Pure X, who are currently gearing up to release their debut album 'Pleasure' through Acéphale.
So, Pure X, what's the one thing everyone should know about you?
"That this is what we were born to do. It's how we touch God. It's how we communicate with the dead. This is who we are and this is what we do. I am personally so grateful to be alive and to be experiencing everything that life and music has to give."
Lovely.
