Tall Poppies

The Tall Poppies are from Perth, Australia. So let’s not pretty this up now, for what they lack in enviable roots they make up for in charisma. There is indeed no-holds-barred at this party, and everyone’s invited.
They’re blissfully out of step with current fashions, but aren’t all the best bands? Although most bands think they are unique, few are. Tall Poppies, twins Susan and Catherine, are possibly inimitable. Their music is whimsically clever and the lyrical storytelling is enigmatically amusing while grasping the imagination and daring it to think outside the circle of the CD.

Beach Day

Hailing from the self-dubbed "Hollyweird," Florida, the trio Beach Day has a sound that has been heavily influenced by their surroundings. They make new music, but it is definitely old at heart. And it’s definitely sunny, but not without some murkiness. Kimmy, Natalie and Skyler met at a local show and quickly bonded over their love of 60’s Girl Groups, their dissatisfaction with their current musical endeavors and a common desire to be in a band that was purely about fun and making music without pretense.

the belle hops

http://www.myspace.com/thebellehops In summer 2008 Jen though of starting a band which would be like the girl groups of the 50s and 60s but now, and with Scottish accents. She wrote some things and enlisted the help of Dave and Pete with making them into proper songs. Then nothing happened for months and months. But in March 2009 Jen thought of it again and got songs together with Pete's help and asked a bunch of people to join. They became known as the belle hops and had their first practice in May 2009.
