THE DRELLA’S : The legendary Tommy Scott (SPACE) and his powerful new band, THE DRELLAS, bring us tales of fear & imagination laced with Tom’s notoriously dark, sickly sweet sense of humour mashed up with post-punk-beatbox-psychedelia and much more. http://www.myspace.com/thedrellas

SEVEN SEALS : Kendal’s finest, and one of the most original and eccentric bands in the UK at the moment. Their stunning debut single (‘Loose Ends’) sold out in three days and became an instant collector’s item. They have just completed a UK tour supporting Kelley Stoltz (SubPop) and are currently recording their debut album.http://www.myspace/sevenseals

IVAN CAMPO : Strangely comforting and yet slightly unnerving sound from Preston’s eclectic combo…all is not what it seems in the CAMPO house. Come early, to avoid being disappointed... And make sure you have a good view of them, this is bonkers and magnificent. http://www.myspace/ivancampo

MD Music is a new management company representing original artists with a unique vison and a flair. Current roster includes SHACK, SEVEN SEALS, THE DRELLA'S, IVAN CAMPO, BAD ANORAK 404 & YORKIE. http://www.myspace.com/mdmusicmanagement + http://www.thegoodship.co.uk
