The Almighty Sotones Christmas Bonanza

Event information

THE SOTONES CHRISTMAS PARTY COMES AROUND AGAIN BUT BIGGER AND MUCH, MUCH BETTER!

For your delectation there will be no less than 8 of Southampton's finest bands playing from 6.30 until 2 in the morning with swing DJs and a cornucopia of acoustic delights.

As well as the music there will be sexy christmas nymphs frolicking and bringing christmas cheer to all, a Mistletoe kissing booth (videos up soon!), animation from Solent's best and a raffle for which you get free entry if you buy your ticket in advance. The 1st prize is the whole of Sotones 2009 back-catalogue - what more could you possibly ask for - and there will be numerous runners up prizes too.

The line up for the night is;

***Fresh Legs***
With their new EP 'Julian' just out on Sotones and a world of love from Bestival and Rob DaBank, Fresh Legs are going from strength to strength with their hugely popular brand of Indie-Math-Pop shenanigans!

***Peter Lyons***
Mr Lyons has been compared to artists such as Why? and Thom Yorke, which is quite something to live up to, but it's when you hear his fusion of classic songwriting, samples, drum machines and circuit-bent Casios that you see it's fully justified. Check out his split single with The Moulettes.

***Moneytree***
With the release of Sotones first 7" 'Wake Up Pay Your Overheads' following The Great Indoors EP's part I and II, Moneytree show no signs of relenting their onslaught of musical output, sailing the gap between American indie influences and classic British songwriting seamlessly.

***Moulettes***
Cider swilling, barn storming, raucous, slightly medieval looking, virtuosic, trouble and hard-folkin-mutha-fuckas are all ways to describe the Moulettes but you need to see them live to really understand why they destroy every stage they come across, from festival stages to the streets of Sicily!

***Nato***
'My favourite band right now' [Lonely Joe Parker]
Do you remember your first gig? No, not your mates' shit band in a youth club stumbling through Lithium.. we mean a Proper Gig, with lights and booze and a really tight band that really rock. Remember how you wanted to dance and fuck and be in a band, too?
That's what Nato sound like.

***Haunted Stereo***
Fresh from releasing their new EP 'Cross The Sea' on Sotones, Haunted Stereo really prove how adaptable folk music can be, managing to cram in a world of different influences. "They make me feel really weird in the best way imaginable" - Louis Adamou, On Histories Of Rosenberg.

***Lonely Joe Parker***
Known for his charismatic performances and stories of his busking tour of the US, if you're lucky you might catch Lonely Joe with his new band Parker's Ark!

***Jackie Paper***
After the release of Sotones first piece of sexy 12" vinyl and his split EP with Lonely Joe Parker, Jackie Paper A.K.A David Miattwill always have his solo project at heart despite the rising success of his 'day-job' band, Thomas Tantrum. Intoxicating, melancholic indie-folk with firm engaging narratives.
