Kiddo

There are three artists with this name: (1) KiDDO sound like a musical ménage à trois between The Strokes, U2 and The Killers. More fun than a High School Musical Sing-along at a silent disco, these purveyors of riff-laden indie-pop are probably the sound of tomorrow… if the sound of tomorrow turns out to be riff-laden indie-pop. Which they reckon it will. “KiDDO have a fine line in maximum rock and roll, enough hooks to hang tonight’s huge curtains on and anthems that burrow into the brain” – NME

On Histories of Rosenburg

"A five piece with a healthy glow about them... Progressive post-rock Englishness that has a warm dew-fresh glisten to it - they’re in to those rather current indie-mathy areas again, that quietly spiralling epicness, those slightly angsty vocal lines - they have heir own beauty though, a comfort not questioned, and they understand the power of understated restraint and that a quiet less is so often so much more than more noise and aggression.

Molly Wagger

Molly Wagger were formed at the start of 2007. With the help of a couple of guitars, a synth, a piano, a bass, drums, a laptop and one (sometimes two) violins they have produced a folky-progressive-electronic cake. After playing various gigs around Edinburgh in their first year they have just completed a "mini tour" of London and Oxford with the very talented band- i said yes. This "tour" has given Molly Wagger a taste for it and hope to play many a gig this coming summer.

The Vivians

There is more than one artist with this name: 1) Formed in Edinburgh, August 2006. The Vivians were made by long term friends and strangers; Damon, Chris, Kit, Scott & John who are now based in London. With their "gives a fuck" attitude The Vivians do nothing by halves. This attitude may be reminiscent of "punk" although their music refreshingly takes influence from a broader musical spectrum. Twin guitars fighting one another for the rawest...
