The Wookies
Five twenty-somethings, Elliot, Raoul, Zann, Rambendrix and Endaevör, have come together in Reading to create music with no footing in rules or genre. Their band, The Wookies, are popular for cutting and splicing sounds, and breezing effortlessly from one place to another along the genre spectrum. A Wookies gig can transport you from dark, epic BritProg to powerpop to folk-tinged blues in the mere blinking of eyes. With brown-based fashion disasters/visual treats, a Wookies gig is always a memorable event.

My Device
My Device are a fervent, fiery three piece from Brighton playing their frenzied pop songs as loud as they possibly can.

Anton Barbeau
Anton Barbeau represents the Sacramento chapter of that nameless coterie of enduringly reliable, acid-tinged singer-songwriters that includes XTC's Andy Partridge, Robyn Hitchcock, Julian Cope and the Bevis Frond's Nick Saloman. His new album bathes beautifully constructed, thoughtfully arranged songs in a fading psychedelic sunshine, and it would be many casual consumers' album of the year if only they got to hear it. Four stars. -Stewart Lee, Sunday Times
