'Tis the month of October and that can only mean one thing: #Blogtoberfest. Once again the highlight of the London music scene will see 31 free gigs take place at North London venue The Finsbury across the month, curated by some of the finest online music sites in the UK.
Little Indie's show will take place on Saturday October 27 and we will be playing host to four emerging bands that have impressed us over the last 12 months. From Cardiff we have teen four-piece AL MOSES with their debut single imminent; attitude and riff-laden trio from Leicester, THE LIDS; newly hatched and raring to go, Fife four-piece PARIS STREET REBELS, and driving Newton-le-Willows quartet who put the kick ass in K, THE K's.
Entrance is free, but to secure admittance it is advisable to order a ticket beforehand from here. But if you can't plan ahead or just decide on the day you want to come along, you should still be able to get in! If it looks like selling out we will keep you informed by social media in good time.

Over this week we are highlighting each of our four bands to give you a taste of what to expect on the night. Today we continue with PARIS STREET REBELS.
Fierce, forceful and infectiously accessible, Ballingry, Fife four-piece Paris Street Rebels emerged onto the scene just this year; their debut single - produced by Johnny Madden (of Baby Strange) and Chris Marshall - ‘Freakshow’, firing an incendiary five and a half minute burst of solid punk’n’roll.
We sat vocalist/guitarist Grant “G” Malcolm down in the hot seat to answer a quick few questions.
As one of Little Indie's top four for our #Blogtober night, tell readers a little about yourselves, where you're from and what you've done.
We are Paris Street Rebels and we play music because at some point rock’n’roll, garage rock, soul, punk, blues whatever you want to call it, changed our lives. We’re just here to repay the favour.....but most of all we play because we can’t fucking help it.
For those who haven't seen or heard of you before, sum up your style and sound in a few sentences.
We grew up in a working class mining town in Fife, Scotland. That attitude of growing up in Ballingry will always be a part of our sound and effect the way we carry ourselves. Heads up. Dressed accordingly. Looking for a little bit of trouble. Drowned in noise. We believe in telling our story and in being an individual above all else and we hope to meet a lot of like minded people along the way.
What would you say is the most vital aspect of your live performance?
The most important thing about gigging for us is connecting with people and creating that thing where both the crowd and the four of us on stage all feed of each other and the freedom that that brings. It’s about bringing out the fire in people and finding ours at the same time.
Name one song in your set that really works the room.
We’ve been working in the shadows this past year recording and sharpening our tools. We are in a position to now release a new single every few months, revealing more of the puzzle with every release. Right now our debut single is the only one out the bag, and naturally this gets people’s blood pumping more than anything. For us it’s only the beginning. Our supercharged warning shot.
If folks want to check you out before the night, where can they find you online?
