FIVE O'CLOCK HEROES
+ ONLOOKERS
+ THE COLLECTABLE FEW
+ LFC DJS
NYC’s FIVE O'CLOCK HEROES have made a name for themselves over the last few years by writing three-minute long, instantly memorable pop gems like The Police, Elvis Costello or Joe Jackson did back in the day. They’ve cut their teeth supporting some of the best in the business (The Rakes, Brendan Benson, Albert Hammond Jr and Jet amongst others) and already have a classic debut album under their belt in 2006's Bend To The Breaks. Their recent collaboration with model-of-the-moment Agyness Deyn has brought their music to a whole new audience, and with it some long-overdue success. This is their only London headline date this summer to showcase their brand new LP Speak Your Language, and is not one to be missed...
ONLOOKERS are a young band from Kent who are getting a lot of people very excited of late – their visceral, electrifying and sophisticated blend of whiskey-soaked, Americana influenced blues rock references the likes of The Raconteurs, The Black Keys and The Von Bondies. They’ve recently released a single on 1965 (which is already Ebay gold) and developed a ferocious live reputation. And this is just the beginning - catch them now before they explode.
Newly formed, THE COLLECTABLE FEW trade in edgy, vital and exciting new wave / post punk, informed by all the right names - JD, Cure, Echo & The Bunnymen and latterly The Maccabees. The palpable buzz surrounding them at the moment coupled with their sharp musicianship, distinct style and instantly memorable tunes point to a very bright future indeed.

Are these the ones that did
Take A Look At My Girlfriend?
thanks for the heads up on this show
excuse me whilst i cancel all my plans to attend. "NYC’s FIVE O'CLOCK HEROES have made a name for themselves over the last few years by writing three-minute long, instantly memorable pop gems like The Police, Elvis Costello or Joe Jackson did back in the day" - creative writing courses come in handy eh? Made a name where exactly? Girlfriend teefing?
Also, 'NYC's'..........
I saw them on that godawful Nokia Green Room thing the other day, they all appeared to be Brits.
Plus.........9/10 quid? FAIL.
There are proper bands out there charging less than that.
WILL AGYNESS BE THERE?
I LIKE HER
