Summer Cats are two girls and three boys from Melbourne, Australia. Like most people from Melbourne, they spend their time either: a) enjoying summer or b) waiting for summer to arrive. They play crash pop in an attempt to make you dance, so if you feel the urge...go right ahead! Musically they are somewhat of a cross between Stereolab and The Go-Betweens....or is that Talulah Gosh and The Left Banke?
One day a girl found a message in a bottle. The message was from a person she'd never met in a place she'd never been. Every day, the girl would read the message and every night she would write a song. She would imagine all the things the person would do, the things they would see and the sounds they would hear. This went on for some time until one day the little girl took all of the songs and put them in a bottle.
Stars of Aviation are a pop group from Brighton and London. They met in university Russian class in 1998 and started playing together in 2000.

Marie et l'accordeon, released on Kitchen Records in 2006, gained radio play from Huw Stephens on Radio 1 and a number of BBC 6Music shows and was described as 'a slice of escapist wonder'.
There is more than one band/artist with this name:
1. Formed in 1973, Zipper was the first band to release an album (simply called 'Zipper') on the Whizeagle Records label in 1974, with Lorry Erk on drums, Jim Roos on guitar, Greg Shadoan on bass and Fred Lee Cole on vocals. It's basically heavy rock with Led Zeppelin-overtones, raw and rocking. The album is quite rare in its original form now, was re-released in 1994 as an LP/CD with two additional tracks.
Noisy guitars, twee vocals, glorious pop.
Indie pop/punk with a drum machine.
