The Brunettes
We've been fans of The Brunettes ever since the New Zealand duo of Heather
Mansfield and Jonathan Bree released their "Holding Hands, Feeding Ducks"
album back in 2002, so we're very excited to be hosting this London show.
Expect boy-girl vocals, lush Sixties melodies, handclaps, harmonies, and a
gloriously dry wit. The band recently signed to Sub Pop, so snap up a ticket
while you can.

The School
Formed by Liz of The Loves as a side-project, The School sound like genuine
contenders to us: a swoonsome waltz through the best bits of Belle &
Sebastian, Camera Obscura, and 60s girl groups. They recently stole the show
at Indietracks, have just been snapped up by Elefant, and are rapidly
turning into our favourite new band of the year!

Wake The President
Fronted by Scottish/Swedish twins Erik and Bjorn, Glasgow's Wake The
President caused quite a stir at Indietracks with a drunken, loud-mouthed,
fearless and utterly magnificent set that was like watching a young Edwyn
Collins, cloned, high on his own runaway talent. Set the words of Arab Strap
to the music of Orange Juice and you're close to the brilliance of these
newcomers.

The Deirdres
A seven piece from Derby who claim to specialise in "poor harmonies and
communal clappiing", The Deirdres mess around with glockenspiels,
tamborines, kazoos, violins, and something called a zube in the pursuit of a
good time. Imagine the best bits of Architecture In Helsinki, The Hidden
Cameras and every band you've clapped along to like an over-excited five
year old. If they're half as fun as their demos, we're in for a treat.
