Persil
Perennial John Peel favourites, Persil are David and Martine, two noiseheads from Amsterdam who recorded three sessions for the great man. They've played Oxford a couple of times before and supported The Wedding Present on their sold out UK tour last year. They're also playing this year's Truck Festival. On stage David plays guitar, keyboard & some bass. Martine sings and plays the keyboard and sampler. In the studio they play whatever they like.
