Some Velvet Morning

For some three’s a crowd, but not in the case of London-based trio, Some Velvet Morning. Drummer Rob Flanagan joined brothers Des and Gavin Lambert back in the autumn of 2000, following a brief spell with the 22-20s. Ever since, Some Velvet Morning have been a regular feature on the capital’s live music scene, chalking up over 200 shows to date. It was in Soho’s musical Mecca, Denmark Street, that Rob and Des first met.

Cadillac

There is have been several acts with this name: 1) a Norwegian rock band 2) a Spanish pop group 3) a Australian luxury vehicle 1) Legendary, catchy, melodic and slightly underestimated Norwegian rock-band, disbanded in 2005. Released three very different albums, all very well-played, well-produced and very well-written. Why Cadillac never gained the same recognition as many of their contemporaries remains a mystery, but it probably stems from internal struggles and a low touring-frequency.

Storyboard

There are 2 bands using the name StoryBoard: 1) StoryBoard are a five piece easycore, pop punk band from Dublin, Ireland.

StoryBoard have released two EP's, "Kill Your Tv" in 2010, and their latest EP "Tear This Down" was released on February 12th at StoryBoard.bandcamp.com.

Ha Ha Tonka

With a "Bible in one hand, broken bottle in the other" (Spin June '09) Ha Ha Tonka return with their sophomore effort on Bloodshot Records, Novel Sounds of the Nouveau South. The album takes listeners on a complex tour of the South—through lynchings and mob violence, sacrifice and reconciliation. It’s dense subject matter for any artist, but delivered beautifully on this record by these native sons of the Ozarks from Springfield, Missouri.
