Indie punk-rocklets, The Envelopes, have been letting their fans know about their forthcoming appearance on Sky Arts excellent new series, From the Basement, on their MySpace blog. The down-to-earth Envelopes boys were somewhat bemused about the line-up of Saturday night’s show, saying:

“When you see the intro it’s really funny. First you see Thom Yorke, some black and white views of London, then Albert Hammond Jr, London again, and guess who? Envelopes. What the Hell?? We played 3 songs : Freejazz, Party, and Sister in Love.”

Don’t be so bashful guys! How many other bands get to claim Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and The Strokes’ Albert Hammond Jr as their support acts? Listen to Swedish stars music via their MySpace page by clicking me right now.

Interestingly, The Envelopes also say that their episode of From the Basement will be available to download via iTunes on Sunday. ArtsWom can’t be sure what regions will be allowed to benefit from this, or how much it will cost but that’s useful for those few people who don’t know anybody with Sky. For the rest of us, tune in Saturday night at 9pm on Sky Arts channel 267 – and bring along that HD TV!
