About the artists

Mogwai

Mogwai are...

Stuart Braithwaite - vocals, guitar
John Cummings - guitar
Dominic Aitchison - bass
Barry Burns - keyboards
Martin Bulloch - drums
Brendan O'Hare - keyboards (left 1998)

Drawing influences from a whole range of remarkably similar post-rock bands, Mogwai have slowly become one of the biggest underground bands of the last ten years. Critically adored, they manage geniunely heart achingly beautiful songs and also have the ability to make ears bleed (often at the same time).

Album discography:

Young Team (1997)
Come On Die Young (1999)
Rock Action (2001)
Happy Songs For Happy People (2003)
Mr Beast (2006)
Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait (soundtrack, 2006)

Mogwai have also released a number of extended-play singles and a BBC sessions compilation.

South London 3-piece playing groove-based rock'n'roll. Signed to Domino in 2003. They have been known to play with a plastic goose onstage. Hmmm.»

Giant Drag

Female fronted two piece from Orange Country who throw up lo-fi, fuzzy American indie as inspired by The Breeders, Belly and MBV.»

Regina Spektor

Mumm-Ra

Brilliant, slightly crazy, off-beat, insane genius of a band. They signed to Sony BMG at the end of August 2005, with a view to releasing their first material in 2006.

They are:

James New
Niall Buckler
Oli Frost
Gareth Jennings
James Arguile»

Field Music

Field Music are a Sunderland-based trio made up of Andrew Moore and brothers Peter and David Brewis.

The band's sound is tough to pin down: it takes cues from pop and punk, post-punk and art-school-influenced indie. It's tough but instant, catchy but avant garde. It's pop, but not as you've known it before.

White Rose Movement

White Rose Movement are:

Finn Vine (vocals, guitar)
Jasper Milton (guitar)
Owen Dyke (bass)
Taxxi (keys)
Ed Harper (drums)

Formed in 2002, this five-piece combine the dark glamour of Depeche Mode with The Rapture's knee-jerk beats. Support slots with Pink Grease and Mylo and the production wizardry of Paul Epworth have seen them refine their craft to a cleaner, more euphoric sound. Their debut single, 'Love Is A Number' is out on May 30th 2005; they will support The Kills on their May tour.»

José González

My Latest Novel

My Latest Novel are Chris Deveney (vocals, guitar, bass), Paul McGeachy (vocals, guitar, xylophone), Gary Deveney (vocals, guitar), Laura McFarlane (vocals, violin, piano), Ryan King (drums, percussion).

Having played just a handful of gigs in their native Scotland, My Latest Novel secured a slot at Manchester’s In The City music convention last year. Since then, the band have recorded sessions for XFM, supported Smog, British Sea Power and The Dears, and recently signed a deal with Bella Union records.

'Sister Sneaker Sister Soul' is the bands brilliantly-titled, and indeed rather brilliant, limited edition debut single taken from their forthcoming debut album due for release later this year.

King Creosote

After releasing more than twenty albums on CD-R format through his own Fence Records label in Fife, King Creosote signed to Domino, where he released his first two 'proper' albums: Kenny & Beth's Musical Boat Rides in 2003 and Rocket DIY in April of 2005, followed by KC Rules OK on Names/679 Recordings, which was recorded with the Earlies.»
