The Organ Grinder's Monkey

The Organ Grinder’s Monkey is a musical collaboration between man and machine, an unholy alliance whose aim is to combine indie-rocking guitars with glitchy lo-fi electro beats and a dash of retro 8-bit synth. The duo consists of Benjamin Sane: a human who sings and plays guitar, and Bill Murray: the laptop computer who provides the rhythmical backdrop for his organic counterpart. “Stormy Weather” is the title of their latest EP, released in July of this year.

Instruments (Make Music)

Instruments (Make Music) are a four piece math-pop band from South & East London and Essex, consisting of Ashley Davies (guitar/vocals), Stacey Conway (bass/vocals), Rob Wolfenden (guitar) and Matt Hill (Drums). They make precise yet unconstrained math pop, it’s bouncy, fun but hiding in the closet there's a slice of drama which can't help but rear its little head from the midst of chirpy melodies.
