The SheBeats
The Shebeats are five fierce females who've set out on a mission to redefine pop. Boys beware, this is no ordinary girl-band. These girls combine roaring guitar solos, keyboard mayhem, pumping rhythms, massive harmonies and stuck-in-your-brain-for-a-week songs and come have up with a band that's a treat for the ears, sweet pop meets indie rock- we call it tit-rock! theshebeats@hotmail.co.uk www.myspace.com/theshebeats

Faye Rogers
"A young singer / songwriter from Swindon who breezed onto the scene earlier this year and has made a big impact already with some captivating performances that showcase her simple but imaginative songs. Delicate and ethereal seeming at first there is an underlying steeliness that helps draw you in without realising and makes you forget her tender years." - Gig Monkey, The Ocelot Magazine
Tin Spirits
Tin Spirits first got together in Swindon UK in the summer of 2008, when Daniel Steinhardt from TheGigRig invited former XTC guitarist (and musical hero) Dave Gregory to a local studio to video record an 'amp shoot-out' with Dan's band The Hi-Fidels, comprising bassist Mark Kilminster and drummer Doug Mussard. All enjoyed the experience so much they decided to take things a stage further and rehearse some of the more challenging music they'd grown up listening to but never had the chance to perform.
