DELICATE STEVE http://delicatesteve.com/

Following recent tours with the likes of Yeasayer, Tune-Yards and Givers, and rave reviews for mind-bending second album ‘Postive Force’, Delicate Steve - New Jersey multi-instrumentalist Steve Marion and his band – make their debut UK appearance. It will be an amazing party.

“Delicate Steve's music maintains the capacity to surprise. Its two albums are guitar showcases that don't shred, dance records that don't adhere to familiar beats and classic-rock throwbacks that fan out into world music, prog, reggae, surf-rock and more.” NPR

“Delicate Steve does what so few composers are able to do: his billowing compilation resonates without words, [Positive Force’s] sterling procession an otherworldly creation that remains grounded somehow.” Drowned in Sound

“This album seems enlightened. It's happy and deep and complex and present, all at the same time” Paste Magazine

EMPTY POOLS http://emptypools.co.uk/

Bristol’s Empty Pools artfully combine elements of noise rock with teen dream melodies, late ’70s CBGB’s angularity and the jazzy world-pop sophistication of the Thrill Jockey set. A series of well-received self-released tracks - and dates supporting the likes of White Denim, Sharon Van Etten and Gauntlet Hair - precede a brand new single release in September.

“[A] sublime first song… The beautifully, breezy-to-brutal guitar work underpins piqued lyrics about the tug o’war between privilege and moral value” NME

NEGATIVE PEGASUS http://www.facebook.com/negativepegasus

Brighton hard-psych three piece Negative Pegasus claim a sound that is ‘equally joyous and disturbing’. Avalanches of guitar wrestle with motorik rumbles and retro-pop hooks, threaded with other-worldly vocals. A debut album - ‘LOOM’ - is due in September.

“[Negative Pegasus] occupy a sparsely populated musical peninsula somewhere between Oneida and Black Sabbath." The 405
