LIVE ROOM

Little Fish - http://www.myspace.com/littlefishmusic

Little Fish experienced a crazy ride last year since legendary songwriter/producer Linda Perry heard their demos, flew to the UK to see them play at a pub in Oxford, signed them on the spot and took them out to LA to produce their first album.

A hectic touring schedule followed, supporting an A-list cast of rock bands including Placebo, Them Crooked Vultures, Hole, Juliette Lewis & most recently, Blondie.

They even found time to headline the BBC Introducing stage at Reading and Leeds festivals.

Their stripped down rockabilly punk is underpinned by complex. wild drumming from Nez Greenway whilst Juju's PJ Harvey style vocals let fly with full abandon over simple, rocking guitar riffs.

Check out the video at bottom of page for a taster.

Dimbleby & Capper - http://www.myspace.com/dimblebyandcapper

Dimbleby & Capper is the alias of south London singer, producer
and remixer Laura Bettinson.

Backed by a group of black clad, white mask wearing musicians,
they come on like a British equivalent of The Knife; managing to create something that’s both left field and hook-laden, experimental yet accessible while taking in influences as far ranging as Bow Wow Wow, Cyndi Lauper, Beck and Radiohead.

It's earnt them support slots with the likes of Local Natives, Chewlips, Casio Kids and Hockey. From recording a live Maida Vale session for Huw Stephens at BBC Radio One, they've gone on to play the BBC Introducing stage at Glastonbury & Latitude festivals.

In fact their performance at Glastonbury became the festival’s MOST WATCHED performance on i-Player from the BBC Introducing stage. Something you should see then.

14th - http://www.myspace.com/14thmusic

They've been performing for little over a year but the end of 2010 saw 14th supporting Carl Barat with Bangers and Mash at one of New Year's biggest parties & playing a secret gig at performance art space Shunt.

The duo of Tracey Duodu's sublimely rich, soulful vocals and Tom Barber's swirling keys, disco beats and harmonies, create a warm and addictively sensual dance groove. Playful, emotive and distinctive.

One - http://www.theyareone.com/

Imagine Big Star, The Strokes and The Libertines combined with the vocal soul of Jeff Buckley and you’re getting close to the sound of One.

A new four piece alt. rock 'n' roll band from London they put the emphasis firmly on live performance and good tunes. In fact One’s debut mini-album Pirate Soul was recorded live, to ensure that none of the excitement was lost,

Drawing on 50's rock ‘n’ roll, 60's psychedelia s, 70's glam and all the heart of 90s grunge spins on XFM from John Kennedy have preceded support for Puressence, Ocean Colour Scene and I Am Kloot acoustic gigs. See them here first.
