BEARSUIT

Event information

BEARSUIT

Stop-start boy-girl cutie-killer six-piece with everything from cinematic waltzes to catchy electro disco and hard punk screaming riot grrl noise. A mix of Belle and Sebastian, Huggy Bear, and Sonic Youth with electronic twists and turns, and screamy art punk.
The band first captured the imagination of the late John Peel, notching up four Radio 1 sessions for the legendary DJ and scoring three top five hits in his Festive 50, including scooping the number 2 slot in his post-humous chart.
Already championed by the likes of Steve Lamacq, Huw Stevens, Phill Jupitus, XFM, the NME, Artrocker and Plan B, the six piece release their new album OH:IO on Fantastic Plastic on September the 10th. With a live show including flute, guitars, keyboards, samples, cornet, singing, bells, accordion, theremin, drums, oh and a keytar plus a variety of outlandish stage gear - blood soaked prom dresses, marching bands, 'nurses of death' outfits, spacemen and silver bear-bot wear to name but a few - Bearsuit are certainly a band to catch live!

LE TETSUO

Le Tetsuo met in 2002, when it was fashionable to wear plastic grapes around your neck and drink lager through a straw. These things may or may not still be in fashion, but since then this delightful noise-pop riot-boy/grrrl three-piece have gone on to win the largest music competition in the Eastern region, share sell out stages with the likes of Prinzhorn Dance School, Screaming Tea Party, Kaito, PRE and Bearsuit, stun festival audiences in Holland, not to mention the skinny be-jeaned hipsters at last year's Tales of the Jackalope and all the while enjoying a national radio seal of approval from DJs John Peel, Steve Lamacq, Rob Da Bank and those good people at XFM and Resonance FM. A move to London over a year ago has seen the band grab the attention of countless gig goers, dancing shoes first. All that sweat, applause and yelping has guided them safely into the hands of Parlour Records, for their first release proper.

2 HOT 2 SWEAT

2 Hot 2 Sweat formed in early 2007 when Matt Leuw and Mia Lane decided to put the sometimes disturbing contents of their brains to music. We hope the results will make you snigger, cower and jig, not necessarily in that order. The debut 2 Hot 2 Sweat single "Your Space Or Mine" on sexy clear vinyl, not so sexy CD single and downright repulsive download is released in early 2008 on NROne Records.
