Event information
EASTSTRIKEWEST "Steve Lamacq has picked up on Eaststrikewest as one to look out for in 2009 and having now given the album a fair few spins, I can't help but think he may be right." [4/5] - Subba-Cultcha.com (Album Review)
"London's EaststrikeWest immediately take you back to the heady days of Hope of The States at their loudest and electric best. 'Wolvves' is a searching, epic album underpinned by solid bass lines, progressive rock overtures and an effective veneer of strings." [4/5] - Music-Dash.co.uk (Album Review)
THE WINCHELL RIOTS are a four-piece from Oxford who take their name from a chapter in a Philip Roth novel, The Plot Against America. They formed out of the ashes of the widely touted Fell City Girl, who specialised in the sort of wistful balladry that made people talk, in hushed, reverent tones, about them as successors to Snow Patrol. They're a little bit emo, a little bit Elbow, and a little bit Editors. They've been compared to Mew and Muse, Death Cab for Cutie and Bjork, the latter probably based on McMinn's ability to soar angelically and they've played gigs as support to everyone from Glasvegas to the Streets.
SLEEPING WITH ANTARES was born out of a project initiated by Philip Brillo and Manuel Xueref in Rome, Italy in 2006. We then moved to London to study at university and met with Matteo who had coincidentally moved to London too. The three of us started making music together. After Thiago joined the band as a drummer, we started gigging in London's underground scene receiving some very good feedback from the crowds.
MEDIA CIRCUS are a Band of four boys who started making music and realised it was sounding pretty beautiful to the ear-drum.
