THE CLIENTELE
Four piece who formed in Hampshire in 1997, through a love of Cardinal, Felt, Galaxie 500, Television, Love and The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. Their second album "The Violet Hour" was described by Uncut Magazine as one of the most magical pop albums of 2003. Their latest album "Strange Geometry" was released in the USA on Merge Records and the UK on Pointy Records and features 12 tracks of dreamy folk-pop, shimmering psych guitars and string arrangements by the magisterial genius Louis Philippe.

SHADY BARD
Scruffily atmospheric indie folk songs, enriched by a miniature orchestra of pianos, guitars, casiotones, violin, cello, French horn and samples which burst occasionally into catastrophic scuzz. Influences include Spiritualized, Sparklehorse, Grandaddy, Sigur Ros, Teletext, pine cones, Elgar, fresh naan and chips, and ginger beer. On Static Caravan, they've played on BBC Radio 2, Radio 4 and 6music, and performed at Green Man Festival 2006.
