the mojo fins

It was never going to end. How could it? You can't just switch off the need to write music. When The Mojo Fins vocalist and guitarist Jon Chandler was tragically killed in a road accident in May, 2007, there were many who wondered if the band could continue. Stephen (vocals/guitar), Steve (bass/keys) and Dave (drums) did not. They knew it had to: because music, like friendship, transcends death, and the dream that four school mates once swore they'd make a reality lives on.

Artist Type: 

Northcape

Northcape is the ongoing work of a British artist, and can broadly be described as downtempo melodic electronica. Northcape self-released his first CD in 2005, following this with a second independent release ('Detach') in 2007 and an EP ('Some Bright Valley') on the monotonik netlabel. Northcape's latest album is Captured From Static, released by Sun Sea Sky Productions on April 6th 2010. The aim is to express ideas and evoke environments, landscapes and memory rather than to focus on the technology and techniques used.

Artist Type: 

wonderswan

Wonderswan was conceived early in 2008 in a dark, damp basement in Leeds and incubated in a warm pouch by the radiant glow of a shared love for scuzzy 90s lo-fi slacker bands. The fledgling creature hatched in April with the addition of drummer G.E.D who heard the youngster crying out with hunger as he floated by attached to some helium balloons. With the additional nourishment of his frantic c86 style drummings, Wonderswan quickly matured and soon found itself performing alongside some of its own favourite bands, including Times New Viking, No Age, Copy Haho and Lovvers to name just a few.

Artist Type: 

Seerauber Jenny

Seerauberjenny is a project conceived by young human, Fran Barker, multi-instrumental singer/songwriter from North Wiltshire. A lack of interesting activities in the area had led to whole heartedly devoting her time to writing and recording a catalogue of earthy and positively received shoe gazer tunes, before being captured by a Victorian explorer type, willing to display her and her songs in a glass sample cabinet, along with some other exotic specimens.

Artist Type: 

Terry Garoghan

There's is no better person to lead you through the streets and suburbs of Brighton than the self appointed Unofficial Mayor himself. Terry carries the whole show single handed, for this is his affectionate tribute to the place where he was born and bred. The local paper called it "brilliant and witty". It is also a big bellylaugh in a naughty seaside postcard kind of way. Quintessentially Brighton is Brighton the Musical.

Artist Type: 

The Bronze Medalists

The Bronze Medalists are a group of 5 young men who reside in the NYC area. They are an up and coming freestyle rap/rock n' roll improvisation experiment that draws their influence from artists such as The Roots, Rage Against The Machine, and Faith +1. Look for them at local bars in Manhattan during the weekdays.

Artist Type: 

Man Ray Sky

The band is in the midst of writing material for an album as well as honing their live performances with which they hope to add a more visual element to their shows. The sound of Man Ray Sky live can be an intense affair, with melodic lullabies brushing up against experimental noise pieces; the two opposing but strangely complementary sides of Man Ray Sky.
