Description
PLAYING LIVE
Black Lips (Athens, US)
http://www.myspace.com/theblacklips
"Black Lips have a reputation for crazy live shows that have included vomiting, urination, nudity, band members kissing, Power Wheels races, fireworks, a chicken, and flaming guitars" - Wikipedia
"Mixing garage's crude guitars and scratchy throated delivery with skewiff country, blues and psychedelia, their fourth studio album ignites with the same rapturous energy as The Sonics and The 13th Floor Elevators" - The Guardian
"The most fun you can have with your clothes on" - Fused Magazine
Mika Miko (Los Angeles, US)
http://www.myspace.com/mikamiko
"It's like the girls from the library and the girls from the coffee shop got together and played a mix of Sleater Kinney and Chicks on Speed" - Duck And Cover
"Like At The Drive-In and Pretty Girls Make Graves... A fiercely independent modern punk band" - Prefix
Gringo Star (Atlanta, US)
http://www.myspace.com/thegringostars
"An exuberant rush of early Kinks guitars, tambourines, handclaps, multi-part harmonies, and bits of tinkly piano, all catchy" - Pitchfork
The Manhattan Love Suicides (Leeds, UK)
http://www.myspace.com/themls
"For anyone who loves fuzzed up guitar assaults, feedback, hit and run gigs, female vocals, melodic pop, ear splitting minimalist noise and hates a hell of a lot of other things..." - The Manhattan Love Suicides
Brontide (Lincoln, UK)
http://www.myspace.com/brontidetheband
"Brontide are mathy and marvelous, danceable without being dumb. InstruMental in all the right ways. I say: yay!" - Drowned In Sound
The Hipshakes (Sheffield, UK)
http://www.myspace.com/thehipshakes
"A total teenage bombshell of wild desperation and dirty celebration" - Tic Tac Totally!
Urgent Talk (Sheffield, UK)
http://www.myspace.com/urgenttalk
"Urgent Talk take their cues ... from M83's blissed-out take on shoegaze/electronica, or The Unicorns at their most bleepy and playful" - Drowned In Sound
