Event information

ZONIN-HO-HO-HO! - The First Annual 4 or 5 Magicians Christmas Party ALL-STAR XMAS BAND

All of the below (probably) covering/murdering some Xmas classics.

SAM ISAAC (Malvern) Fantastically catchy acoustic pop song from one of the best up and coming singer-songwriters around. He's probably played a gig at your house before. Split 10-inch with Luke Leighfield out now on Mannequin Republic Records. www.myspace.com/samisaac

LUKE LEIGHFIELD (Upton-upon-Severn) Fine piano-led pop from this 20-year-old troubadour and house party veteran who played his 250th gig at the Windmill at the start of this month to mark the official launch of his album 'Fan The Flames'.

"His tunes have a way of sticking fast in your head, and it's a real joy to watch him at a gig where everyone's singing along, so you have an almost community feel about the gig, but in the way that you very much feel part of that gang, regardless of whether or not you've seen him before (I know from my first experience, and from others having related that to me)" - Marsha Shandur, Xfm

4 OR 5 MAGICIANS (Brighton) Much-loved slackers whose 'Forever on The Edge' single is out on Alcopop! on limited edition 3-inch CD. the sort of lo-fi attack jam that Kurt Cobain would have creamed over - Rock Sound Finally a believable British retort to the drawling rambles of Stephen Malkmus. Think Hefner’s Darren Hayman fronting Guided By Voices. Ace - Music Week

ICE, SEA, DEAD PEOPLE (Bedford) ..modestly describe themselves as three bored, geeky teenagers with skinny girl wrists and a taste for creating angular, intricate punk whilst shouting about nothing and everything. In the real world they're a buzz name on many people's lips thanks in no small part to their live show. www.myspace.com/iceseadeadpeople

SIR YES SIR (Manchester) Play hit music, deconstructed, flipped around, messed-up and turned inside out; like Sebadoh in a blender. That, by the way, means they\'re aces. www.myspace.com/siryessiryessir

PAUL HAWKINS AND THE AWKWARD SILENCES The UK’s answer to Daniel Johnston and Tom Waits with full band featuring members of Death in Vegas and Dot Alison. Wild cuddly toy audience bating sets gaining legendary reputation. 'Pure charisma'. - NME www.myspace.com/theeawkwardsilences

MISTAKES IN ANIMATION (Kingston) Intense. Intricate. emotional. Acoustic.

LAURA HOCKING Experimental folk; once described as 'like biting into a creak cake and finsing a razor blade'. www.myspace.com/laurahocking
