About the venue
About the artists
The Sailplanes
The Sailplanes are :
Having toiled separately in lesser groups for some time, noise guitarist Tim and songwriter Stacey formed The Sailplanes in early 2005 through a mutual interest in bands such as Electrelane, Sonic Youth and Sleater-Kinney. They write songs that aim to strip arty rock to it's basic components. Bass-less and brisk, The Sailplanes are a breath of fresh air.
"Taut, unsettling, unusually cinematic art-rock that conjures up black and white dreams of knife-wielding girls and breathless chases down narrow streets in some romantic old European capital." – GIITTV Zine
"an articulate disaffection and anger that is matched perfectly by the calm yet frantic music that perfectly balances noise and melody, beauty and self-destruction." – Ian Viggars for Joyzine
They've a website and a myspace.

586
- Deborah Coughlin - vocals, synths
- Steve Horry - vocals, guitar
- Samantha Christie - bass
- Simon Dempsey - guitar, percussion
- Grant Purser - drums
586 is led by feisty boy-girl duo Steve Horry and Deborah Coughlin. The collective children of Worthing, Erith, Cheshire and Dymchurch, they met up in London and have since stirred up a buzz of interest, sharing the stage with the likes of The Modern, We Are Scientists, Selfish Cunt and The Chalets.
Their debut single, 'We Got Bored' is a spiky, vital ode to itchy feet. It received Runner-Up Single Of The Week in the NME, as well as plaudits from all corners of the music press. Comparisons offered up include The B-52's, The Rezillos, Art Brut and The Unicorns.

Rose Kemp
Just turned 21 and blessed with an impossibly rich and reaching voice, sometimes accompanied by shimmering electric guitars, sometimes looping itself into complex, sumptuous, harmonised hooks, or sometimes simply rising unadorned and a cappella to silence a room. One of the most mutable modern artists, Rose Kemp's songs and sets have earned her appearances at umpteen festivals, National Radio airplay, and support slots with such diverse acts as The Subways, Gravenhurst, James Yorkston, Selfish Cunt, King Creosote, Decoration, Malcolm Middleton and Holly Golightly.
Once you’ve heard her you’ll never forget it, her songs stick in your soul and pulse in your brain like nothing else on earth. Rose Kemp will rock your World. 2006 will see Rose release two singles and an album on One Little Indian Records: her debut album Glance came out in 2003 on Park Records.
