A Dead Forest Index

Melbourne based brothers, Sam and Adam Sherry make music that can fill the room beyond their small two-piece set up on stage. Their sound is dark, haunting, built up of layers of steady percussion, voice and silence. Very unassuming, Adam is captivating using vocal loops and sparse guitar chords while Sam completes their sound with perfectly disciplined beats and harmonies. Powerful and original, a live show with A Dead Forest Index will make your spine tingle and give you a feeling like crying and smiling at the same time.

d_rradio

d_rradio began releasing recordings in 2003. Their odd name (pronounced D. R. Radio) stands for deathrowradio - the intention of their music is to bring comfort and light to the most dark and difficult hours. Thriving on organic melodies and digital soundscapes, d_rradio's first public ventures were lugubriously soporific affairs. A spilt 7" with Marcia Blaine School For Girls on the Awkward Silence label, was followed two months later by the 'Dust And Guitars' 7" on Static Caravan - both of which received regular airplay from John Peel and sold out super fast.

Ikaria

“This band is an island.” Once beneath San Diego, Washington D.C., Chicago; today in the
middle of Berlin, Vallarum or Luxembourg. Ikaria, always being subjected to their own development and change, is grow to its own microcosm, full of thoughts, feelings and character. In the focus, more than ever, a very own blueprint of what some might attach to what they call “pop”, others to what they call “underground culture”. However autarkic, independent and moving in between the borders of the own universe, Ikaria
