DIRTY ELECTRIC : The return of South East London’s Pyschadelic Rock contenders. Live on stage!
THE BLACK TULIPS - "phenomenal voice… utterly, utterly glorious… 9/10" (Drowned In Sound), “destined to leave their unique imprint on the world… a band that could literally rip up the rulebook and start again right now” (God Is In The TV), "pompous, atmospheric, magisterial… like nothing I have ever heard before … all the hairs on my body stood on end…" (Disorder), “glam-damaged art-rat riot” (Maps), “BRILLIANT!… sends shivers down the spine… I keep having to get off my arse to press play again” (Glasswerk), “pointy scratchy uncompromising, glamorous, mysterious and wonderfully different… something rather special” (Organ demo of the week), “truly innovative” (Sounds XP), “frankly awesome… absolutely beautiful… when something's new enough to jar against what you've been led to expect from gig-going, you know that someone's hit the jackpot” (r*e*p*e*a*t)
BLAH BLAH BLAH are deservedly loved in Rocklands. Anywhere, in fact, that they’ve played. This year they have blitzed London with their blazing live set of skiffle punk laced with sharply observed lyrics. http://www.blahblahblahandfriends

EARWAX RADIO - in less than two years this has become the weekly show of the newer wave. New music, live sessions, interviews, news, gossip delivered like a natter down the pub - it’s caught on around the world, gained sufficient popularity to be going FM (South East London/Essex) at the end of this year and when Earwax started podcasting at the start of this year, it was heavily over subscribed and collapsed on line. All is well, and following the success of the first Artful Broadcast - the increasingly busy Jamie and Andy will make a show right here, right now, and you’re all invited to be part of it!
