PLEASE NOTE, THIS SHOW IS AT THE VIBE BAR, BRICK LANE
Dananananananakroyd:
A Glaswegian six-piece with a slightly ridiculous name, Dananananaykroyd are a bunch of indie-rockers. The group have made a name for themselves in the space of only four singles, hailed as "The Best New band In Britain With The Worst Name" by RockSound. The group specialise in the sort of chirpy pop melodies nailed by Foals or the Futureheads on 'Black Wax' and their own brand of 'Fight Pop' on B-side 'No Wage'. See them headlining the BBC Introducing stage at T in the Park next month!

The Late Greats
The seaside town of Eastbourne is the unlikely outpost and home to future alt-rock heroes, The Late Greats. In equal parts intelligent, intense, chaotic and fragile, the four piece have quietly bided their time over the last 12 months, writing their debut album (in between epic bouts of table tennis) thus honing the sound of The Late Greats.
Their debut album "Life Without Balloons" is a record indebted not only to the band’s love of lo-fi US indie/alt-rock (Sonic Youth, Pixies, Pavement) but also stamped with a truly provincial delivery of British square peg bands like XTC, glittering with melodic gold.

R O M A N C E:
“R O M A N C E are a three-piece post punk band from London. Formed in November 2008, the band have already made waves in the East London music scene. Consisting of David Woods (drums), Joe Eakins (bass) and Jamie Lovatt (guitar / vocals). R O M A N C E have been described as "... a band that are defining themselves with a unique sound and energy that is seriously addictive!" www.thepixzine.co.uk With influences such as Bauhaus, Southern Death Cult and Siouxsie And The Banshees, the band create a fresh reworking of the late seventies goth sound. Featured in the NME as pioneers of the imminent 'gloom-pop' movement, their angular guitars, tribal drumming, creeping bass lines and soulful vocal melodies create crashing tides of dark noise. It is strongly advised to "... see them in a small venue before they go stellar." Beat Happening Magazine.”
