Invocal

Invocal are a four piece female acoustic band that perform with cello, guitar, clarinet and four harmonious voices - described as having dark gypsy folk tugging from one side and an all out west end musical tugging from the other. Their songs tell tales of modern life - with caustic and bawdy humour, powerful and moving lyrics and (most days) expert musical prowess. The band have performed together for the past 3 years, and have recently completed their first major UK tour.

NOX

There are multiple artists with this name: 1. Nox is an industrial band from Metz, France. They fromed in 1981 by Cécile Babiole, and went into a trio with Gerome Nox (G-nox), and Laurent Perrier joining the band later on. The Laurent Pernice joined in the 90's to make the line up complete. Their heavy tribal percussion, hypnotic guitars and war chants just push them as the right link between industrial and hardcore. 2. Nox is a death metal band from the The Hague, Netherlands.

Dave House

Dave House is a solo artist based in South West London who has been making music for over a decade. With a background firmly rooted in punk rock, Dave’s personal musical tastes defy any one genre and his eventual progression from band member to solo artist was an obvious one. Like Billy Bragg before him, Dave is a modern day storyteller who writes honest and passionate guitar pop. Armed with heartfelt lyrics and a wide range of influences, his work has drawn comparisons to The Weakerthans, Death Cab For Cutie, The Postal Service and The Get Up Kids.
