Cadillac

There is have been several acts with this name: 1) a Norwegian rock band 2) a Spanish pop group 3) a Australian luxury vehicle 1) Legendary, catchy, melodic and slightly underestimated Norwegian rock-band, disbanded in 2005. Released three very different albums, all very well-played, well-produced and very well-written. Why Cadillac never gained the same recognition as many of their contemporaries remains a mystery, but it probably stems from internal struggles and a low touring-frequency.

Soft Toy Emergency

Soft Toy Emergency is made up of five anti-glam casio kittens. Obsessed with tiny drum kits making big noises that seduce the tranquil toe-tapper into a dancing fanny; we drank a bottle of Buckfast and wrote some tunes. Our mission is to inject you with our squelchy electro – coercing you into a state of divine gyration. But aye… we’ll exchange our beeps for your unsynchronized convulsions. JEN vocals
GEORGE bass
LUCIANO synth
ANDY guitar
WILL drums
