DEUX FURIEUSES

"The newest and best post punk duo in London" (Artrocker)

Minimal line up, maximum impact, deux furieuses are the epitome of politicised and impassioned guitar n drums fury. 

A debut single is due this autumn which has been produced by Rob Ellis (PJ Harvey, Marianne Faithful, Bat For Lashes) and mixed by Mark Freegard (Breeders, Manic Street Preachers).

The band are already picking up air play on Xfm “This is vital music.” (John Kennedy), Aaron Philips Amazing Radio Show, Jim Gellatly called their sound "an explosive introduction to deux furieuses" on his new music podcast and Artrocker Radio have given them early support.

MOURNING BIRDS

In less than a year, noisy blues trio, Mourning Birds, have made their mark on the music scene. Their dynamic recordings, musical sensibilities and primal instincts have earned admiration at shows, seriously impressed reviews, radio play (Xfm, 6Music, Radio 1, Amazing Radio, and international independant shows) plus (well received) appearances at the summer festivals.

They've just signed a deal with a credible Japanese record label and head to Foel Studios in August to record their debut album with producer, Rhys Downing (The Subways, Pete Doherty), responsible for that massive sound of releases so far. “British balls-out garage-rock that picks you up, slams you over its knee, slaps your arse red and makes you run for it'' (NME)

From classic punk and riot grrrl to NYC queercore, all the way to the warmth of her island roots, she isn't afraid to fuse soca, rock and reggae - with spectacular results.

Think Grace Jones in a bar room brawl with Polly Jean Harvey, egged on by the riot grrrls of Olympia, delivered with a post punk slap to the face. “Attitudinal, bluesy punk ‘n’ roll” (Time Out).

Dana Jade's eponymous debut album,"PJ Harvey-esque punky blues" (Artrocker), is a bold introduction of intent...

DIZZY SPELL

Our compere is an ArtBeat activist, musician, writer and a director of Enola Productions – beyond theatre to re-evolutionary art adventures.

This situationist Punk Roadshow of uniqulture began at The Alleycat in January. A mix of newer wave live music, poetry n positivity, an artistic crowd, ambitious talent and sociable networking packing out the basement under Regent Sound Studios early doors. Already, the ripples from this small pond are being felt globally, on land and on line....
