SON OF DAVE
PARTLY SEATED SHOW
How often do you go to a and are mesmerised
by the performance - not often and certainly rarely by a one man band. Son of
Dave gives the lie to this. A Son of Dave performance is like nothing you will
have seen before.
Dressed in an immaculate three piece suit, Son of Dave takes to the stage, and
starts to sing. His voice may not be suffused by the blues, having a slightly
reedy timbre at first until he drops down a couple of octaves to a primal growl,
as the song starts to take shape he accompanies himself using shaker and
harmonica fed through an ancient Vox amp, then to get the rhythm down he hums
the bass and drums, hums, not beat-boxes, hums the rhythm. Creating a sound as
old as the hills and twice as haunting yet strangely of the now.

right now". Crystal Castles consist of multi-instrumentalist Ethan Kath and
vocalist Alice Glass. The band is named after the Crystal Castlefrom the She-Ra
franchise.
Crystal Castles have toured Europe and the USA numerous times in the last 2
years, they played at the Reading and Leeds in August 2007 and also headlined
Vice Magazines's UK tour in November 2007 called Unitaur, which also featured
These New Puritans and The Teenagers.
Crystal Castles use unusual instrumentation such as placing an Atari 5200 sound
chip inside a keyboard in order to produce a sound that has been described as
having "ferocious, asphyxiating sheets of warped two-dimensional Gameboy
glitches and bruising drum bombast pierce [the] skull with sheer shrill force,
burrowing deep into the brain like a fever".
Friendly Fires lie somewhere between the poppiness of Snap!, the
funkiness of rince, and the electronic dance-iness of Daft Punk Friendly Fires
were the first unsigned band ever to play Transmission on Channel 4 which aired
on 9th November 2007. Signed to Moshi Moshi they are a band subject to much
media frenzy as evinced by the following quotes:
Friendly Fires are a classy prospect" NME May 07
"The band to look out for next year" Vice
"Purveyors of the finest funk-punk known to modern music" Clash
Team Waterpolo
There are numerous bands currently subject to an A&R frenzy, and Team Waterpolo
despite only forming in July 2007 are possibly the band most of the commotion is
over. Team Waterpolo claim their influences as Deftones, Beastie Boys, Muddy
Waters, the Beatles, the Avalanches, System Of A Down, A Tribe Called Quest, At
The Drive-In, Howlin' Wolf, the Beach Boys, Incubus, Wu-Tang Clan, Rage Against
The Machine, Weezer, Radiohead and the Go! Team.

epic U2, Bunnymen-esque anthems.Signed to Fictionthey are currently working on
their debut album due out in 2009. Mark Ronson, Morrissey and Nick Cave have all
checked out White Lies live. Their music has been described as cinematic and has
been polished and perfected by name producers Ed Buller and Max Dingle.

JENS LEKMAN
+ JAYMAY
Jens Lekman is a Swedish indie-pop musician.
His music is guitar-based pop though he also uses samples and strings to create
a fuller, mure luxuriant sound. The lyrics are wry,witty, romantic, and
melancholic. Jens Lekman’s material is reminiscent of such stellar songswmiths
as Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic Fields, Jonathan Richman, and Belle and
Sebastian
Jens Lekman self-released most of his music until 2003 when Swedish label
Service Records released the EP ‘Maple Leaves’, Service Records still release
his material in Sweden. He signed to US label Secretly Canadian who released his
first album ‘When I Said I Wanted To Be Your Dog’ in 2004 and his subseqent
albums worldwide
Live performances by Lekman have differed in style; at times he has performed
alone with only a guitar and a CD player, sometimes doing a capella versions of
his songs, while on other occasions he has been accompanied by a choir and
string quartet.
