Live bands:
The Ghost Frequency
A self-proclaimed giant genre gangbang is the driving force behind The Ghost Frequency's unique cacophony of sound. With influences ranging from Kate Bush, through Balitomore to At The Drive-In, this 5 piece have set the indie scene alight with their fierce dance punk. With a Hadouken support tour under their belts, sell out singles and shows across the country they have been hailed by just about every music publication in the UK. Their debut single 'Nightmare' having been voted number 2 in NME's club chart of the year 2007, they hit 2008 running with the thumping, ecstatic, mind boggling 'Never Before Have I Seen A Man Alive That Looked So Exactly Like A Skeleton'. This is a frequency that should be tuned into.
'An exercise in mounting paranoia and unrest' - NME.
'A combination of the Rapture's electropop and the posthardcore of At the Drive-In' - The Guardian.
The Clik Clik
The Clik Clik are self-produced prodigies, destroying dance floors from Barnsley to Brighton with their debut single 'My Dunks'. Their contagious blend of 'wonky pop', indie, hip-hop and electro, is the product of an exciting new, musically diverse Britain. Writing and producing everything, they make music that sounds like all your favourite iTunes playlists rolled into one.
'This Thamesbeat foursome make amazing tunes that sound like Jamie T and Kate Nash flirting over a pint of battery acid' - NME.
Rosalita
The Young Knives meet Joy Division in a new rave soup. Road To V winners and XFM darlings play their quirky jerky electro indie post-punk pop.
'Clever, inventive songs set this East Anglia five-piece apart from their contemporaries and have steered Rosalita this far in the Road To V competition' - Channel 4 Music.
'Madness meets Depeche Mode. On Manga Girl the singer even yelps, you know, like Adam Ant used to. They love 1981' - Paul Lester, Guardian.
Frankmusik (DJ set)
As well as making some of the most remarkable pop tunes of our time, Frankmusik is messing about with other people's stuff too, remixing the likes of Alphabeat and Sam Sparro.
Plus Bloody Awful Poetry DJs spinning the best in Indo (New Indie), Electro and Retro.
