THE VENUS KICKS - Deptford's rising noise pop outfit recently picked up Xfm play. Tonight they show off some new material. http://www.myspace.com/venuskicks and http://www.thevenuskicks.com

EMPTY VESSELS - as featured on The Artful Broadcast (Earwax Radio) and the forthcoming Parlour 9 Sessions (27 March) and God Is In The TV compilation (launched at GSPOT evemts in April) - it's the twisted-pop noiseniks!. Their "edgy monochrome" sound earned them Demo Of The Week on Channel 4's Teletext music while You're So Old Street cited 'A London voice worthy of Bowie" http://www.emptyvessels.net

FORMS FORMS FORMS caused a storm storm storm when they debuted at P.O.L.E. in December, earning them a request to return. The Damn Pest review claimed their "bracing hailstorm" as "absurdly handsome and poised, their music equally so"
