3 boys from Hamburg. I saw them play in Berlin and they were unbelievable live. Really good energy the entire way through. I don't care that I can't understand a word they are singing about. I hope they come to London soon. Book them someone please!

Dog Show - Pink Elephant

Laurie & Sam

Instrumental band of 2 brothers living in Liverpool. I'm embarassed to bump into them again because last time I saw them I got so drunk I came home at 6am without my coat and/or hoodie. They played a warehouse gig off Bricklane which was powered completely by bicycle power. Great idea but not if you get drunk like me. I've still got scars down my legs from falling off. Anyway, Dog Show go visit them at the Kazimier in Liverpool.

We Have Band - Oh!

Thomas WP - vocals/guitar/bass/programming Dede WP - vocals/percussion/sampler Darren Bancroft - vocals/drums/percussion/sampler

London 3 piece. This is an older single but their new single is a cover of the Pet Shop Boys' West End Girls. Anyone who really knows me will know I am a MASSIVE closet Pet Shop Boys fan. So We have Band have just gone up majorly in my books. I would have done a more obscure song to cover but what the hell. Go get it!
