Hands On Heads

HANDS ON HEADS are a dysfunctional pop group from London, writing abrupt, to the point, non-repetitive songs about unrequited friendship, romantic potential, the supernatural everyday, righteous joy and expectation. Their songs rarely scale the dizzying heights of the two minute mark, relying on shock and awe songwriting tactics to get their message across. The band doesn't believe in reiteration, they make a point with emphasis, then move on to the next fractured song of double-speed dynamics and feral abandon.

Hella Better Dancer

Hella Better Dancer formed at London's legendary Roundhouse Music Venue in 2009 after winning the Battle of the Bands competition. The line up consists of electric guitars, vocals, bass and drums.
In terms of influences the band draws inspiration from Arcade Fire, Yo La Tengo and Broken Social Scene: as much for their unity as a band as for integrity of the music they create.

Steve Kilbey

Self-described genius and musical megalomaniac, committed blogger at The Time Being and compulsive music-maker. Multi-instrumental arch wit and vegan. His band the Church have survived for almost 30 years (since 1980) in spite of/because of him. A joker, a toker, a midnight sleeper with five incredible daughters in two hemispheres. Handle with extreme caution.
