Acoustic Ladyland

Bonding over a mutual distaste for musical sterility and an inclination toward the more exciting and dangerous end of modern music, Acoustic Ladyland have been blowing minds since their inception in 2001. The band is Pete Wareham (saxophone), the recently-joined Chris Sharkey (guitar) Ruth Goller (bass) and Sebastian Rochford (drums).
This fresh incarnation of Acoustic Ladyland sets the bar even higher than before and has arguably achieved their most potent and lucid album to date, the long-awaited Living With A Tiger (out July 6^th 2009).
With their legion of fans including discerning types like Scott Walker, Chris Morris and the Mighty Boosh, experiencing Acoustic Ladyland live is not to be missed.

“Acoustic Ladyland return with a ferocious, slash-and-burn, minimalist sound that already makes this a contender for alt. jazz album of the year.”

“ A ferociously good third set…sounds like a group cranked up on crystal meth.” ✭✭✭✭ MOJO

Benni Hemm Hemm

tunnelsadmin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 16:33:48 +0000

Benni Hemm Hemm , the band of Benedikt H. Hermannsson, hails from Iceland, and, in his own words, “is an organism that is hard to explain”. With 300 members in total, at most shows the band can swell from 3 to 40! BHH is set to release his 3rd EP, ‘Retaliate’, in April this year, which will be the first to be sung entirely in English. Jubilant indie-pop at its best. We say jà!

This female-fronted indiepop band from Cardiff have been proclaimed “The joint best Welsh pop band EVER!” And if that’s not enough to pique your interest, then perhaps the fact that they produce infectious, Belle & Sebastian cum Phil Spectoresque loveliness, and their debut album, due for release this month, boasts cameos from Saint Etienne, Stars, The Field Mice and Shampoo. Lush!
