Next Podfest confirmed for 9th September 2008

2008-09-02T19:01:00.000-07:00

The podfest for September will be on the 9th, at The Purple Turtle, Camden, London.

Bands playing are

Civilized Tears
The Fins
Realign The Stars
Revolution 78

What they say .......

CIVILIZED TEARS - " Excellent" …… Steve Lillywhite (Producer U2,Chris Cornell, Razorlight)
"An eclectic mix of the songwriting craftsmanship of Dylan crossed with the hyperactive energy and popular appeal of Robbie Williams" ……. Nick Cave, London Evening Standard
ONSTAGE: 9:30 pm

THE FINS – "immerse yourself in some rowdy, foot stomping indie rock" …… The Mail
ONSTAGE: 9:00 pm

REALIGN THE STARS - Wiltshire foursome, Realign the Stars, opt for the punk/hardcore sound, conjuring authentic images of early AFI, psych-rock and DC punk within their substantial oeuvre. With a Weezer-style modern twang, great songs, great musicality and an awesome vocalist, Realign the Stars are one hell of a prospect. ...... Backbone, 24/7 Magazine
ONSTAGE: 8:30 pm

REVOLUTION 78 - Blistering dark pop…..early U2, Editors and Interpol are certainly touchstones …the drummer is a big hitter, the bass man holds it all down brilliantly with his Holger Czukay meets Jon Entwistle gravitas whilst the singer and guitarist are simply breath takingly original in their approach to their chosen forms. A great act. Whisper it, but the sheer intensity and single mindedness here could make Rev 78 the noughties answer to Joy Division…" Bugbear Promotions.
ONSTAGE: 8:00 pm

Bands playing are

Playground Mafia
Shortwave Fade
The Toniks
Copious

More details to come.

What they say:

Shortwave Fade: "...seems this quartet have honed to near perfection the art of crafting power driven effervescent dream pop, freewheeling between hazes of spiral chiming riffs and florescent swathes of keys ’stay as you are’ hits you straight between the eyes, a throbbing lovelorn symphony of stratospheric pop cut through with the kind of swagger and savvy that would cause many peers to give up and seek employment elsewhere..." - Losingtoday.com

"Be aware of this band..they are going to conquer the music scene!" - Eardrums Music

"...People who whine that there's nothing new under the sun should listen to this stuff...Of course Shortwave Fade are a combination of their influences and imagination but the influences are class and their imagination impressive." - Unpeeled Magazine

Playground Mafia : "You know what to do...thats a banging track!!"
Tom Robinson, BBC RADIO 6

"Without a doubt the most impressive debut gig i've ever been to...just the start of something thats gonna be huge!!"
Shane Spencer, SQUARE INDIE

"The electronic sounds of Playground Mafia mark a return of Sheffield's musical legacy as host to key players in electronica such as ABC, Cabaret Voltaire and The Human League."
Rachael Clegg, Sheffield Telegraph

Podfest April 08 (Audio)

2008-05-18T09:14:00.001-07:00

This month's gig was a high energy mix of bands. The melodic pop/country of Maria Willson. Vibrant, energetic punk of Monoman. Passioned filled, strong catchy sound of the Lettabees and sporting sequined shoes, the absolutely glittering perfomance of Minus IQ
Certainly bands to keep an eye on in the coming year.

Maria Willson + Minus I Q + Monoman UK + The Lettabees
