Grimace

There is more then one artists with this name. 1) Grimace (also Grymace or Grimache) was a French composer active in the mid-to-late 14th century. Grimace was active in the period of music history known as the ars nova and was probably a contemporary of Guillaume de Machaut, since his compositions lack the complicated rhythms of the Ars subtilior. Grimace's birth and death dates are not known; little is known about him outside of attributions in medieval music manuscripts. Five works are attributed to him securely; two doubtful attributions have been proposed based on stylistic similarities.

They are formed of vocalist-guitarist Patrick Fitzroy, bassist Anthony Fitzroy, keyboardist-guitarist Mark Rivers, and drummer Craig Brown. The band started up in Crawley in 2006 by Patrick and Anthony, performing under the name "Evereal". The brothers had been playing music together for a lot of their childhood, and It seemed natural for them to work together. Mark joined shortly before their first gig to provide keyboard parts, and after many line-up changes, the band developed into "Lights of Paris".

Coloureds

United by a love of obscure noisiness and erratic rhythms, Oxford-based electronic mentalists Coloureds were formed in late 2008 by Matt Mooney and Nick Brewer (both ex-Xmas Lights). Taking their math-core roots into a more dance oriented format, Coloureds use and abuse an ensemble of Synthesisers, customised ‘circuit-bent’ keyboards and all manner of homemade noisemaking gadgets in order to produce their own diverse and unique sound.

The Lowland Hundred

Marooned in Aberystwyth, UK, blind chance and a shared fascination with the British seaside brought together Paul Newland and Tim Noble. On deserted beaches and vertiginous coastal paths, in ancient woodlands and derelict mines, conversations veered wildly from myth to fact, sea to sky, waking to dreaming, cartography to psychogeography, song to instrumental, melody to rhythm
