CHEW LiPS - http://www.myspace.com/chewlips
----------------------------------------------------------
It would be easy, almost too easy, to categorise Chew Lips as electro pop. The temptation would certainly be there – two guys (James Watkins and Will Sanderson) on all manner of synths and keyboards. One girl, the superlatively monikered and golden throated frontwoman Tigs. It would be easy, but all too wrong. Their early (sold out) singles on Kitsune, “Salt Air” and “Solo” pointed to a band more interested in mining more unconventional (though no less infectious) terrain, while their raucous live gigs had all the energy and vigour of vintage punk rock shows, with Tigs clambering up on equipment, writhing on floors and sashaying through crowds as she dazzled them into submission.
Their debut, Dave Kosten produced album “Unicorn” is pop, no doubt about it, but not pop as you know it. There are far too many quirks here, too many human idiosyncrasies, too many rough edges, to fit neat neatly into any preconceived box. So, Chew Lips then. An altogether different – and exciting – proposition for 2010. A gloriously off-kilter take on pop, with some wayward electronic elements. And, with “Unicorn”, quite possibly the best future classic pop album of next year.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Formed to play Moscow Fashion Week PARTY HORSE play "retro-futurist-party-metal" that's like "Kiss playing Abba." David and Ursula bring those Moroder vibes to your ears and your feet.
GLISTENING PELT - http://www.myspace.com/glisteningpelt
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Four White Boys attempting to make classic NY Disco; failing, and instead creating lo-fi Balearic synth pop, with shades of Krautrock and Italo too.
THE DEATHRAYS OF ARDILLA - http://www.myspace.com/death_rays
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tietzsch-Tyler Brothers do rock and roll. Nasty, dirty rock and roll. Like, really filthy. Like The Cramps? Like Tom Waits? Like The Gun Club? Like The Horrors? Like The Black Keys? Something tells me you might like these fellas then.

+ DJs til late playing:
DISCO/YACHT ROCK/ELECTRO-BOOGIE
We're not going for a full on film theme this time, more a general late-70s Russ Meyer/Yacht Rock/LA Pool Party vibe so suitable attire is encouraged. Looking for inspiration? Think "Rumours"-era Fleetwood Mac, Charlie's Angels, Annie Hall, Saturday Night Fever, Loggins and Messina.
+ PROJECTIONS/70s Snacks
