BroadCasting: Accidental Records Special

Event information

Described by Straight no Chaser magazine as being "the blazing definition of a seriously heavy player" Finn Peters is one of the leading flute and sax players in the UK today.
Micachu is the moniker of major new talent, 21 year old songwriter and producer Mica Levi. Despite her relative youth, Mica arrives as something of a Midas touched, Renaissance artist: equally at home writing and producing stunning, experimental pop with Matthew Herbert, as MCing with friends in various grime collectives and balancing this with her day time tutorage at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama where she's studying composition. For live shows Micachu plays with her band The Shapes: a three-piece fronted by Mica (vocals, guitar, electronics and Hoover), Raisa Kahn (keys) and Marc Pell (drums).
The Invisible are Dave Okumu (formerly of Jade Fox), Tom Herbert (Polar Bear/Acoustic Ladyland) and Leo Taylor (Gramme/Zongamin).Having started as a solo project for Dave, the three friends have crafted a piece of ethereal music, wide-ranging in its influences; giving a distinct nod to Sonic Youth and Radiohead in their guitar experimentation, there are rhythmic, African elements borrowed from Talking Heads; harmonic influences from Queens of the Stone Age, whilst classical and medieval church music and even Prince get a wink and a smile in the mix. By tying these disparate influences together, The Invisible have created a sonic masterpiece of ambient atmosphere, electronics and technology in a bid to create a new organic and adventurous sound.
