I think I'm off to that. As well as the Jarv one. Provided I can find some disco friends to go with.
btw I saw Erol Alkan at the Warehouse Project a few days ago and he closed on Best In The Class. Search for videos of it if possible, it sounded MEATY. Seriously heavy heavy song.
This isn't new, very old in fact so I apologise for posting it here:

Late Of The Pier was created somewhere in the mists of 2003, born from the warped minds of Sam Eastgate and Ross Dawson somewhere in the mists of G.C.S.E's. No-one can remember exactly how it happened but lets just presume it went something like… 'Lets start a band' 'OK' …ignoring the fact that neither Ross or future guitarist Faley had only ever touched their instruments once at this point. (Ross had a knock-about on Sam's drums one evening, Faley skipped school to get stoned in Sam's attic and make a song 'Wasted Intellectuals'... probably LOTP's first song).
LOTP found a home in Way Out West and it's all-ages gigs, their feelings reciprocated by the new generation. Stuck mid-way between an older generation of somewhat static crowds and a younger generation of hyper-active kids, LOTP gained a dedicated following in the younger generations through myspace.com and for the energy of their live shows and in the older generations for the music itself. The Klaxons/NME had just coined the phrase 'Nu-Rave' and Late Of The Pier's ideas of live music began to become popular with the mainstream. With this came more interest from the music industry… NME and Radio1 quickly picked up on the band, noting them as one of the bands to watch out for in 2007 and music industry king-pins and affiliates soon became regular attendees to London gigs, often for pleasure instead of business.
Wasted Intellectuals? This article looks very very old, but would probably be more close to a source of LOTP back in those days maybe? however, it could be wrong? looks like a thought-out bio though. . .
All credit goes to Toshiba down in the metronomy forum for finding this.
