Talkshow Boy

Talkshow Boy describes his music as "Hyperactive Glitch Pop", and you couldn't think of a better name for it. Listening to one of his albums is like watching a bunch of rats on speed eat their way through a wall of fairy floss, or riding on the back of a killer whale 2,000 feet below the surface. The only thing surpassing his recordings in sheer energy levels are his live performances, in which he walks about the entire venue interacting with the audience, when he's not rolling around on the floor or dancing like a madman.

The Treatment

The Treatment are sort of a sketch group, I suppose. I mean, they're not really. They consist of three sketch groups; THE TRAP, who are Dan Mersh, Jeremy Limb and Paul Litchfield. Then there's THE CONGRESS OF ODDITIES who are Margaret Cabourn-Smith and Zoe Gardner. Finally, there's the world's smallest sketch group; he's called Michael Legge. The Treatment provide the comedy half of THE REAL DANIEl O'DONNELL SHOW, a music and comedy night that just sort of appears every second wednesday of the month at Lowdown @ The Albany, Great Portland Street, London.
