Littl'ans stirred the Britpop pot a few years ago after gaining the attention of that infamous Libertine, Pete Doherty. Doherty not only recorded and released a single ("Their Way") with the group, but also invited them to open for his new band, Babyshambles. But, despite the UK notoriety, Littl'ans never did break America. After a string of shows at this year's SXSW, however, the poppy garage-rockers are finally making the rounds at several NYC/Brooklyn indie venues. Look out for our favorite track "Is It Wrong," where singer Andrew Aveling drawls in his charming, effortless Cockney: "Is it wrong for me to long for you to long for me?"
