GERTRUDE'S STORM is a close-knit family comprised of a group of like minded folk who have been playing music together for almost a decade in various incarnations. Soulful, powerful vocals mix with rhythmically furious guitars, imaginative drums and funky bass, all set in motion by a pounding electro beat. Their music is regularly played on BBC Radio 1 by Steve Lamacq and Huw Stephens, and on XFM by John Kennedy.
ROSALITA are a five piece band from Ipswich, aiming to make people dance with influences including Talking Heads, and The Stranglers. "'Post punk pioneers." [Steve Lamacq]; "Bafflingly unsigned, Rosalita manage to squeeze more contemporary influences into 7 songs than Zane Lowe manages in an entire evening." [High Voltage]
ONE MORE GRAIN are rapidly becoming legends on the live circuit. Krautrock soundscapes, deranged brass-blasts and evocative diatribes collide to make something remarkable. "One of the best debut performances I've ever seen." [Playlouder]; "One More Grain's stage presence and energy was spellbinding." [Whisperin and Hollerin']
TREVOR LOCK, star of Channel 4's Star Stories and co-host of The Russell Brand Radio 2 Show, is one of the most original stand up comics on the circuit. He is currently supporting Russell Brand on his UK tour. "Pure comic genius." [Metro]; "Utterly improbable, absolutely entertaining." [The Independent]; "Flimsy." [The Scotsman]
ANDREW BAILEY didn't invent alternative comedy, but he was doing something a lot like it long before other alternative comics came along. A veteran of london's original Comedy Store, his haunted mimetic humour was far weirder and more wonderful than today's straight, formulaic stand-up - and a quarter of a century later, he's still going strong. "One of alternative comedy's true originals." [The Guardian]; "I don't like the phase 'lunatic fringe', but if there was an award in that category, Andrew would be well in the running." [Daily Telegraph]
