Bear Driver

Fuzzy psychedelic folk-pop.
Bear Driver are roadtrip-blurs-into-sunset psych-pop melodies, soft voices that hug you, magic glockenspiel, drums kicking, organs grinding and some shouty bits too. These Bears were recently selected out of 950 bands to play at the delightful End of The Road Festival with the likes of Fleet Foxes and Explosions in the Sky. Their recent EP Paws & Claws has been receiving airplay on Radio 1 and 2 and notable fans include Huw Stevens and Steve Lamacq.
The (Wednesday) Club

Indie-Riot-Pop.
Good friends of ours The Wednesday Club are a truly cacophonous (in a good way) experience. From delicate indie-pop songs to delirious fuzzed up riots the Wednesday Club are a definite bull in a china shop experience. Now, imagine that bull raging around the china shop being poked by Guided by Voices, Neutral Milk Hotel and Pavement with Kurt Vonnegut barking orders and youre getting somewhere close to understanding the Club (Sorry, I got a bit carried away with that one).
Glaciers

Sparse folk-pop.
Glaciers is the solo project of a Mr Nic Burrows and it is a very intimate affair. The songs draw you in with their Microphones-like simplicity but there is definitely something very pop underlying the sparse instrumentation and the ghost like singing -very good indeed.
Ian Williams and The Beale Street Whalers.

A healthy dose of cracked gloom.
Ian Williams and his wandering waifs and strays the Beale Street Whalers deliver a unique blend of melancholic pop music in the vein of The National, The Boss and Ryan Adams. His songs subtly twist and weave, building into climaxes of intense restraint.
The Idioteque DJs will be playing some songs these will most likely include The Flaming Lips, Sonic Youth, The Beatles and The National.
Door Tax £3 (That works out at 0.75p a band, an absolute bargain)
Doors at 19:30
