A SMILE AND A RIBBON (Sweden)
With a penchant for sugary sweet melodies and lovelorn lyrics along with the odd profanity this Swedish duo come across as a naïve mix of early Camera Obscura and all that's good about the current Swedish indiepop scene. Expanding to a five piece for this evening as they steady themselves for an album release on American label Shelflife later in the year.

*The James Cleaver Quartet | VIDEOSPRINT
Guildford's finest return for their second Lost Sunday. Everytime we listen to these we imagine ourselves in some trendo New York bar and we feel cool as f@*k! So stick on your Wayfarers and sharp suit and get your arse over!
www.myspace.com/videosprint
SLEEPERCURVE
The country's one and only purveyor of Dystopian Space rock return! Think Blade runner crossed with 1930's Stalinist propoganda - garage band says 'Music like this is always like leaving a room full of smoke and stepping out into a cool winter's night breathing deep feeling the precious oxygen revitalize your body...this is exquisite' and who are we to argue!
Look out for a debut single and tour in the Autumn.
www.myspace.com/sleepercurve
PUMPS
Pumps are ace. Great tunes you'll be humming for weeks and delivered with a youthful energy that pisses all over most of 'bandlets' that are springing up across the capital.
XFM agree - music response play 'em, and you should listen!
www.myspace.com/wearepumps
TUBELORD
We'll leave their description to an XFM DJ- far more elloqant than are good selves - 'Tubelord -terrible name, awesome band. Found these chaps last week after they found me on myspace, and have been mildly obsessed ever since. For context of style, think Biffy Clyro, except they do something mental that I don't know anyone else who does: inbetween hooky guitar licks and super-catchy choruses, they do one of two things: either stop all the noise and do beautiful harmonies, or go massively discordant and totally screamy. In short, they were awesome.'
- Marsha, XFM
www.myspace.com/tubelord
HEAMOSTATIC PICNIC RACES
A third time at Lost Sunday for these young wipper snappers! HPR come across like some hybrid of Fugazi, ATDI, Bloc Party and Snapcase?, they mix driving, heavy guitars with intricate picking and screamed/shouted vocals - and boy do we love em'
www.myspace.com/hprtheband
THE FIVE40s
Paul Smith from Maximo Park describes this band as awesome, we agree - a veritable energy bomb - killers meets klaxons meets a litre full of sunny delight.
www.myspace.com/thefive40s

| Wed 8th | the Spoon Of Music presents:
*Deathline
*Dexy & The Hand Me Downs
*Tuesday Heartbreak
*Los Muertos (acoustic set) | DEATHLINE (London)
Spaced-out drone rock at its best, the sultry tones of front woman Jennie bring to mind a combination of Nico and Kim Deal with added swagger. The broody minimalist sound grabs from the Velvet Underground, Jesus And Marychain and drags you through the scruff of the neck around the seedy backstreets of London. Its like sexy, very sexy.
'Uber cool lo-fi drone rocking from ex-Electric Shocks two piece' - Artrocker
www.myspace.com/thedeathline
DEXY & THE HAND ME DOWNS (London)
Galloping alt-country rock that jumps from Gram Parsons to Whiskeytown with lyrics that bring to mind Elliott Smith at his most vulnerable. Harmonica driven ballads sit snugly alongside careering rock songs from the former solo man who now has a mighty backing band. London’s most promising songerwriter is an understatement.
'Joyous...should see him rise to ascendancy' - Drowned In Sound
'Finally: a British singer-songwriter you don’t need to be ashamed about' - Sprawled Magazine
www.myspace.com/dexyspace
TUESDAY HEARTBREAK (London)
Rolling rhythms and spiralling melodies, Tuesday Heartbreak encapsulate everything that is great about British pop from The Beatles to The Kinks and beyond. The multilayered harmonies put their arms around you and make you sing-a-long.
Check out debut AA side ‘Poor Little Rich Girl/Tuesday’ out on Mile High Music on 6th August for some luscious aural delights.
www.myspace.com/tuesdayheartbreak
LOS MUERTOS (Acoustic) (London)
A rare acoustic performance from the melancholy blue merchants. Rumbling skiffle and powerful soul vocals make this band stand out from the crowd with its laid back charm and gypsy jazz. They are clearly something very special

| Thu 9th | Windmill Brixton presents:
*Dexateens
*Winners
*Birdman Ray | DEXATEENS (Tuscaloosa, AL)
One of our very favourite bands down here at the ‘mill, the Dexateens return to mash the place up with their punky southern rock.
Current album ‘Hardwire Healing’ was produced by Patterson Hood of Drive-By Truckers and some archive material will be released by London-based Dell Orso Records to coincide with this tour.
This is gonna be wild!
’Hardwire Healing’ finds the Dexateens completing their transformation, ditching the hootin' and hollerin' altogether for a full on embrace of their native South; the result is a tradition-indebted country rock sound that distills the frenzied energy of their frantic stage show into a concentrated, twangy broil. Spin.com Artist of the Day Feb 5th, 2007
It's the kind of record the Kings of Leon might make if they were a) talented, b) old enough to shave and c) not obsessed with the Strokes. - Artrocker

DAS WANDERLUST
....are a wrong-pop band. That is to say - they try to write pop music, but it often comes out a bit wrong. Wonky, even.
Artrocker reckon they make 'innovative, off-kilter, barbed-wire sawing-through-the-brain pop', but Das Wanderlust are too busy having fun with their music to know what they are.
www.myspace.com/daswanderlust
SUBLIMINAL GIRLS

| Thu 30th | Windie Miller's Music Club
*Popup
*Jay Jay Pistolet
*Honeytrap
*Noughts & Crosses | POPUP (Glasgow)
Developing a hard-earned reputation as indie touring mosnters, Popupn arrive here after many festival slots including T In The Park, Latitude and SXSW where they apparently played twnety or so times.
Windie Miller has the pleasure of unleashing them on you and says. 'Expect the sound and intensity to be somewhat reminiscent of The Proclaimers on speed!'
Thanks Windie; that indeed sounds refreshing!
'Scottish prodigies Popup are making a huge impact in their homeland...they'll be one of the hottest bands of 2007' - NME

JAY JAY PISTOLET (London)
One of the most hotly tipped acts from the current wave of London DIY-folksters, JJP stands out from the bunch with a delivery style reminsicent of that great Texan maverick Daniel Johnston.

HONEYTRAP (Coventry)
High-energy, fluid-draining, pop-a-billy from the small but noisly-formed Tough Love label.
