The Big Pink - Dominos

2 guys from London

Freeee download from their web site, yes this was! I missed these guys at Bestival to see Fleet Foxes but I figure there is more chance I'm gonna see the Big Pink again than Fleet Foxes. And Fleet Foxes let me blow dry my hair in their dressing room. That is not a joke. It was awkward I needed to dry my hair somehow and there were not a lot of options for electricity at a festival.

Gang Gang Dance - House Jam (XXXchange remix)

Brian Degraw Liz Bougatsos Josh Diamond Tim Dewit Jesse Lee

I met Sean from this band in a hotel lobby in Barcelona. I don't even know if he's still in the band. They have had a LOT of bad luck like early this year when all their equipment got burnt to a crisp in Amsterdam.

I Love Audrey - One Night In Paris

anitakillkillkill! - vox / keys drut! - vox / keys A +++ - bass / bis four finger - git / whisky

We played the same stage as these guys a couple years ago at Bestival, made friends with them afterwards as they were very drunk and 17. I finally heard them this month for the first time. I'm a little slow sometimes. It's really good! Too bad they've broken up. They are from the Isle of Wight though which must make touring hard. That ferry is mega expensive for cars.

Ken Kobayashi - Moon

Ken Kobayashi - vox/guitar/piano and friends..

When I first met Ken it was at a Duloks gig. Mira wanted me to date him. She asked him if he liked mayonaise. We never ended up dating but we did hang out and became friends. His music is really cute and lovely. I even got to meet Ken's dad in Berlin. Ken's just come back to London from playing a few gigs in Japan. Book him before he gets too international!
