Backstreets is a semi-regular night brought to you in association with webzine, Rockbeatstone.com and is now in its fifth edition. Previous headliners have included Prinzhorn Dance School, Official Secrets Act, the Mules… So you know to expect cutting edge music and a great Friday night vibe.

Black Daniel (London/New York)
Formed by brothers Liam and Luke May (Medicine8) and New Yorker Craig Louis Higgins Jnr (pioneer of New York’s infamous Con-fu-sion nights), Black Daniel play dangerous electro-rock the likes of which LCD Soundsystem and Primal Scream can only dream of.
Their debut album was released last year to critical acclaim and they toured the arenas of Europe supporting Kasabian’s similar brand of dancy, bass heavy rock and roll. You can expect them to kick some serious arse as they mix their rock’n’beats on stage tonight. A perfect good time Friday night headliner.

The Cubical (Liverpool)
Windmill debut for this band who have been causing quite a stir in recent times and we’re excited to be putting them on first at the Windmill! This is psychedelic mutant garage blues which sounds as if Howlin’ Wolf had taken a particularly nasty acid tab, while the vocals would put Tom Waits to shame. They’ve recently headlined Alan McGhee’s Death Disco night, been featured in Spin magazine and described as “raw genius” by the NME. Expect to be left gasping for air.

Chalou Saint Jude (London)
Deep vocals, compelling guitar riffs and a sound which alludes to the Kings of Leon, the Stones and the best of delta-blues, this is retro-rock with a compelling forward looking twist. Their songs have featured on MTV’s ‘King of the Roaring 20s’ and ‘She Said’ and they’ve recently been featured on compilation albums by Kool Tone Records and the Trash Society.

Voluntary Butler Scheme (Stourbridge)
A one-man indie-pop powerhouse fit for the 21st Century. Sounding like a musically proficient Badly Drawn Boy or Jim Noir, he was previously drummer with Cardiff band, The School, has been championed by Huw Stephens and Steve Lamacq on Radio 1 and played support to Eamon Hamilton’s solo tour (Brakes). Expect harmonious 60s melodies mixed with classic indie-pop sounds at this amazing one man show.
