Cheese on Bread / The Wave Pictures / David Cronenberg's Wife / Coley Park

Event information

Cheese on Bread (New York) - www.myspace.com/cheeseonbread
Hailing from New York, favourites of Jeffrey Lewis, this six-piece blend The Beach Boy’s sense of harmony, They Might Be Giants twisted pop glory with unfailing enthusiasm and a sense of innocent wonder…

They met at a University café, the bastard child of a post-structuralist education and a rather poor dinner menu. Their boy/girl gay/straight antifolk pop is a blend of cultural commentary, catchy harmony and complete silliness.

"Their tenaciously nerdy tunes are a blend of encyclopaedic facts and sassy, bloglike rants—many of which are surprisingly touching. Just think of it as comfort food with a kick." Timeout NY

The Wave Pictures (London) - www.myspace.com/thewavepictures
Superb London based song-smiths with beautifully crafted tunes reminiscent of The Go-Betweens with a dark soul.

Having performed with the Jeffrey Lewis Band and as backing band and co-songwriters for John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats, they have built a reputable following from those who know and have recently completed a tour in support of Darren Hayman to critical acclaim.
“Combining the song-writing genius of Jonathan Richman, the lo-fi humility of Herman Dune and a few guitar moments that Springsteen himself would be proud of. Imagination, humour, melodies and chords, twangy basslines of beauty. The kind of band whose songs you put on all mixtapes, who you urge your friends to listen to.” Roku Distro fanzine

David Cronenberg’s Wife (London) - www.myspace.com/davidcronenbergswife

Morally Outrageous backwoods folk – Time Out

Time Out favourites DCW, who originate from Manchester & Bolton, have been regulars on the UK Antifolk roster since 2004, toured the UK and New York and have supported Damo Suzuki and British punk progenitors Wreckless Eric & The Television Personalities. Singing about themes that haven't been much covered yet: loving an anorexic girl and the urge to jump in front of trains set to a soundtrack that embodies the dark energy of late 70's Manchester and punk psychedelia.

Coley Park – www.myspace.com/coleypark

Shimmering melodies, happy-sad voices and mix of Americana and Anglo pastoral-psychedelia" - Sylvie Simmons, Mojo

With the release of their 3rd album, Rhinoceros, just out and the single “Quiet lanes and other stories” this Oxford based four-piece have created a stir of critical reviews and intrigue. A collage of fractured alt-rock delivered through a psychedelic pop blaster to create some achingly good tunes.
