The Noisettes
If ever there was a band who warranted any hype thrown their way, then The Noisettes are them. They have everything going for them, a sharp, sexy and bouncy singing in the form of Shingai Shoniwa, a little pocket of electrified energy channelling the spirit of Billie Holiday through some kind of super-warped time machine with the band picking up a touch of Hendrix along the way for fun. They take the dynamics of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs to a different level add a little more electric soul and end up with a frenzied and exhilarating live show full of twists, contortions and a fury of sound that batters the ear drums, fizzes the blood and shakes the body.
Currently on a mammoth UK tour that started in January, they continue to the US in March with a 17 date tour over there supporting TV On The Radio. The single ‘Sister Rosetta (Capture The Spirit)’ is released on the 29th Jan with the album ‘What’s The Time Mr Wolf?’ out on the 5th Feb.

Mayor McCa
One man band with a leaning towards Beck and his form of urban blues.
These body parts play the following instruments:
Left Foot: Bass keyboards; Tambourine;
Right foot: Bass drum.
Hands: Guitar; Keyboard; Ukulele; Assorted percussion.
Mouth: Singing; Harmonica; Kazoo.
Multi-limbs: Tap Shoes; Clarinet; Bass Harmonica; Slide Whistle; Toys.
Inspired by Tom Waits, The White Stripes, The Flaming Lips and Ween, he is everything you would never expect from a one man band, with Casio beats, camp blues sing-along choruses and bursts of tap dancing. He’s the hardest working man in show business at the moment and could be the real draw of the night.

Slow Club
A male-female duo straight from the dark romantic heart of the sixties. There’s something lovely about the harmonies that float above gentle backings of drums and shaky guitars, and they come across as the kind of intellectual cult band that could form a nice bunch of devoted followers, growing with each gig they play. They knit their own cardigans whilst making up songs and singing to one another in a nice English country garden, or in front of a cosy fire, perhaps a Neil Young or Leonard Cohen record playing. Once you’ve seen them, maybe you’ll want to join them in their world patchwork quilt country kind of songs. I do.
