DRAGONETTE - is a Canadian New Wave/ Synth-pop/ Electro-pop group active
since 2005. Having supported New Order on their second performance ever,
they were soon signed to Mercury and Universal Records before going 17 in
the French charts with “Boys and Girls” (Martin Solveig feat. Dragonette)

HOOLIGAN NIGHT - Described as a “vixen-fronted Electro Punk juggernaut”,
Hooligan Night are one of the most exciting female-fronted bands to emerge
from the UK in recent memory. Formed by apocalyptic pin-up Ruby Blues and
production maestro Nick Diezel, the formidable line-up also includes
Alabama 3 keyboard player Orlando Harrison along with The Soho Dolls
drummer Paul Stone.

STRANGEFRUIT - are a new and exciting concoction, fusing elements of rock,
blues, jazz and dirty folk. Having played their first impromptu gig in
Tokyo, the Strangefruit seeds were sewn. Recently described as ‘David Lynch
meets Fairport Convention’ Strangefruit’s music will fill you with passion,
beauty and the rare sense of spontaneity. Armed with catchy tunes and
lyrics that tackle tabooed issues their songs will haunt you and leave you
wanting more.

DARK LIKE SNOW - singer Yuki formerly of Tokyo based band 'She Shell' and
Noemi- guitar/bass formerly of 'The Coolness' bring together new project
'Dark Like Snow'. Written & produced by Jon Fugler and Mike Bryant (of the
legendary electronic outfit Fluke and 2bit) Dark Like Snow ooze sex appeal
with mesmerizing hooky melodies.

NEON HIGHWIRE - "Filed somewhere between a friendlier Death From Above 1979
and a nastier Hot Chip, Neon Highwire specialise in distorted-bass driven
house. ?

CINNAMON ANTICS - Cinnamon Antics is a East-London based Electropop band .
Their sound draws influence from 80s new wave, synth-pop and Britpop. Think
Talking Heads with a Punk/ New Wave twist.??

FISH DON’T DANCE DJ’S kick up a storm as usual in room two with electro
and techno. ?
