Marnie

MARNIE machen ROP-MUSIK aber...
"WHO THE F*** IS MARNIE?" „Irgendwann haben wir dieser Stimme im Bauch, die unsere Energie entfacht, den Namen MARNIE gegeben“, so die Sängerin (L)emmy, das quirlige Sprachrohr der jungen Berliner Band. Und das, was die vier Musiker unter diesem Namen vereinen, scheint sie genau in die richtige Richtung zu führen!

Summer Cats

Summer Cats are two girls and three boys from Melbourne, Australia. Like most people from Melbourne, they spend their time either: a) enjoying summer or b) waiting for summer to arrive. They play crash pop in an attempt to make you dance, so if you feel the urge...go right ahead! Musically they are somewhat of a cross between Stereolab and The Go-Betweens....or is that Talulah Gosh and The Left Banke?

Born Gold

Born Gold is the high-energy, beat-driven songwriting project of Canadian pop experimentalist Cecil Frena. Caught in an unusual dialogue between future-leaning electronic music, harsh noise and mainstream pop, Born Gold conjures stuttering, blown-out and chopped guitar peals, erratic, bubbling synth arpeggios, sparkling drum machine peals and bursts of meticulously processed digital noise. Oh, and hooks, hooks, hooks.
