The Momeraths

"The Momeraths are a five piece band, named after small fuzzy creatures from "Alice In Wonderland" that consist of a scruff of hair, googley eyes and orange legs. In the book (and film) they all cluster together to form an arrow. If there is any correlation between the two, the said arrow should have led Alice to this gig, because this band is quite a find. Their sound is fresh and unique, the majority of their songs a fun fusion of country-folk and tangy guitar strumming with an occasional addition of keyboard-synth electricity.

Soundays

It all started when four friends got together and formed a band to escape the boring stereotypes of the local music scene. The clear, sunny Californian seacoast 60’s garage rock influence, mixed up with a fresh English pop flavour makes Soundays a music revelation - and one of the most exciting new bands in Latin America. In 2008 Soundays entered the studio to record the songs for their first demo "Riot", produced by Emilio Acosta. In April that year, the first single “Gipsy Love” came out and later that October, the band released the full 5-song demo.

There were a few personnel changes in the early days, but since 1986 the lineup has remained relatively stable. Long standing drummer "Fudge" Smith being replaced by Joe Crabtree who has subsequently been replaced by Scott Higham who brings high energy along with a huge beaming smile!

The Posies

The Posies began as a set of informal home recordings by Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow and eventually became a full-fledged band. Their mixture of literate, clever, melodic pop with hard-hitting guitars made them critics' darlings and college-radio favorites, although commercial success always eluded them.
