Cold In Berlin
After tearing up stages for the past two years and gaining a solid fan base that continues to grow exponentially, this band are cranking up their aural assault on the world. Cold In Berlin create delightfully sinister hooks that will bond your blood
...cells to the dark side then release them straight to your head with
gloriously pounding crescendos, like Siouxsie Sioux smacking you in the face with a Mudhoney record.

Shrag
An exhilarating blend of dirty, distorted post-punk guitars, shouty riot grrl-style vox and fantastic pop songs, alongside nods to everyone from Le Tigre to Penetration. Their debut album garnered comparisons to Love is All, Gang of Four and B-52s, and led to a UK tour supporting The Cribs, appearances at both London Popfest and Indietracks festivals, and a session for Marc Riley on BBC 6music. Their second album Life! Death! Prizes! was released on WIAWYIA Records in October 2010 and was named Album of the Month in Artrocker Magazine.
"A spectacularly bitter indie girls-set-on-stun dual vocal attack, in what is one of the better bands to juxtapose schmindie twee and angered literary abstraction since 1990s unsung legends Prolapse." (The Guardian)
'Shrag leave us sweaty, wanting more and with a high-pitched whine in our ears. Just the way a great gig should be.' Soundlab

Andy Twyman
Andy is one of our most favourite artists we've seen and heard in recent months. He is a One Man Band Punked Up Blues Boogie with More Mojo than a Chicken on Cocaine. Gritty primal grooves, gutsy vocals and plenty of balls. Andy gigs non-stop around London, having played at top venues such as The Jazz Cafe in Camden, The Luminaire in Kilburn, and the 12 Bar Club in Soho, to name a few, bringing his thumping blues sound to more and more people. Andy has recorded for Proper Records (Jimmie Vaughan, Richard Thompson) and is continuing to work with them on fresh projects. Come out to see Andy and experience a night of the raucous, surreal, pumping music. Top up your glass, get up on your dancing feet and lets do some boogie

Cruella Ribbons
We've known Cruella Ribbons for quite a while now so we just how good the band are. Having played guitar at fancy places like Glastonbury and SXSW, Texas in
Theoretical Girl's backing band "The Equations"
for near on 2 years Ribbons thendecided to give it a go on her own joined by the wonderful Julianna Kurokawa ( also a previous equation 2 for the price of 1 :) ) and the lovely Lola Peach Baxter.

Raven Beats Crow
Raven beats Crow's live reputation has grown in wingspan since the inception of their old Club Raven nights out of Chalk Farm. Attention-rousing performances at Alan McGee's Death Disco and the legendary Playground nights in east London have certified the band as one of London underground's most interesting tickets; their combination of hypnotic live visuals, animalistic facemasks and jarring agit-pop make for quite the delirious and disorientating spectacle.

The Voyeurist
Being labelled in recent months as The One To Watch, The Voyeurist at their live best - fractious, programmed beats rumble under bone-shaking bass lines, as vocalist Sarah Nag's honeyed drawl purrs through an urgent, cacophonous set. An imposing monochromatic presence, the three-piece deftly manoeuvre between Gotham-underground, industrial walls of noise, and effortlessly infectious alt-pop melodies.

We Walk On Ice
...London based We Walk on Ice drew it's first breath in the early spring of 2009 during a recording session in a south London flat.
Ida Jacobsson was recording when she asked the producers flatmate, drummer and sometimes cave-dweller Lincoln Trevisani if he could lay down some drum beats for a song. After numerous sessions fuelled by coffee, wine and warm beer a collaboration of ice cold Swedish winter and warm Brazilian rhythms was born -We walk on Ice. Their sound is a combination of a lonely guitar with dreamy vocals, heavy drumming, cowbells and precise thunders.
