Stanley Brinks - www.myspace.com/therealstanleybrinks

Stanley Brinks was formerly Andre Herman Dune of the French/Swedish folk rock band Herman Dune. His Jonathan Richman inspired, calypso tinged songs are as honest, funny and poignant. ‘Brinks' solo work is just as quirky but still resonates from a classic New York songwriting background, with waltzy grooves, Balkan influences, bar-room horns and swing elements all shining through’ Puregroove ‘The new face of sweetly swoonsome Herman Dune’. Timeout London

Ish Marquez - http://www.myspace.com/ishmarquez

New York antifolk legend from the same stable as Kimya Dawson & Adam Green. Backing band are David Beauchamp, of Jeffrey Lewis & the Jitters and Stanley Brinks. Jeffrey Lewis: "Ish is one of the most amazing and unique artists I know, a true soul-singing star of the underground and unlike anything you've ever experienced!" Regina Spektor: "Ish Marquez is a unique and talented musician, and everyone should take the time to hear him live."

Congregation - http://www.myspace.com/congregationband

Congregation have lately been injecting the Blues and R&B genre with a heavy dose of class and soul. Benjamin Prosser (Slide Guitar, Bass drum) and Victoria Yeulet (Vocals, Leg Bells) play the kind of raw, slinky and seductive blues that have the power to restore one’s faith in the genre. Victoria wails away with a voice that never fails to chill. ‘21st century Londoners Ben Prosser and Victoria Yeulet look like slightly disturbed depression-era rejects and make self-composed, clammy goth-a-billy. The blues have never lost their ability to inspire faith’ The Mirror

Clemence Freshard - http://www.myspace.com/freschard

Clemence Freschard was born in Dijon, Burgundy. She met Andre Herman Düne in Paris in 2003 and recorded a few songs that he wrote for her. Then she went to New York, got herself an old electric guitar, worked on her English, and started writing her own material. Since 2004 she has lived in Berlin. Her first album was a mix of electronic and acoustic sounds. Her new album 'click click' was recorded with Leo Bear Creak and Stanley Brinks. 'Clemence Freshard takes you on a voyage where you're delighted by magnificent pearls of songs from her numerous EPs, covers & albums. Great songwriting with French accenting – Sonic Reducer'.
