African Queen are a five piece femme-fronted neo-psychadelic rock movement from east London and the surrounding area that emerged in 2007. The band's eclectic sound draws on shoegaze elements of the late 1980s and early 1990s; as well as dragging up 60's inspired tones to form a contemporary psych-rock sound typical of bands such as The Warlocks, The Black Angels or The Morning After Girls. The band are currently playing frequent shows in and around London whilst recording their first full-length album with producer and techno DJ Johnny Arthur.

23frames formed in late 2004 as the result of the breakup or fragmentation of other bands, or the general dissatisfaction with same. Starting out rehearsing in a freezing, leaky studio in an old ex gin-distillery, it soon seemed that a distinctive and not unpleasing noise was beginning to emerge, echoing down the musty corridors. A set of pretty cohesive songs was soon conceived, and this set of songs was recorded in late 2006, this time in the equally salubrious setting of an east-end squat.
