Chromatics

Chromatics originally hailed from Seattle as a quartet featuring vocalist Adam Miller, drummer Hannah Blilie, guitarist Devin Welch, and bassist Michelle Nolan. That lineup debuted in 2002 with a Calvin Johnson-produced 7" on Gold Standard Laboratories -- a split with Die Monitr Batss -- and followed with the similarly GSL-issued Chrome Rats Vs Basement Ruts LP. While Chrome Rats was critically hailed, Chromatics couldn't keep it together, and Miller was soon the only member in good standing (Blilie, Welch, and Nolan went on to form the similar-sounding Shoplifting).

A.Human

A.Human hail from the Dalston area of London. They tell stories about love, the damned, the strange and everything in-between. Vintage keyboards punctuate soaring triggered samples while rolling drums form an epic backdrop to wry and amusing lyrics. They draw influence from the disco soul of DFA and thoughtful dance music of New Order through to the art school originality of Talking Heads and lo-fi electronica of Arthur Russell. Their universally highly praised live performances are as chaotic and unpredictable as they are refreshingly thrilling and engaging.

La Roux

Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats, for the show is about to begin. ‘The red haired one’ will now start making electro-pop mean something again. Elly Jackson is 20 years old, she has a short ginger bob, freckles, a nose that makes your heart turn to a puddle, but more importantly a way with melodies that makes everything else around you completely vanish. The Brixtonite’s experiencing all the things girls of that age tend to; heartbreak, frustration, wonderment, invincibility and fragility.

Hundreds

Philipp and Eva met each other in 1981.
He thought: i wanna play football.
She thought: nothing. Because she was a newborn.
He was a six year old boy. They are brother and sister. In 2001, he already was a very good piano player and she had a good voice and ideas for music, they started to discuss. And they argued a lot. Like brothers and sisters do. After a few years, they found a sound, which they both like.
