40 WATT CLUB PRESENTS:

EIGHT LEGS + THE WILD MERCURY SOUND + THE DASH + PERSONAL SPACE INVADERS





Despite their youth, there s a melancholy to EIGHT LEGS that evokes experience rather than innocence. Songs like "Climb the Walls " and "These Grey Days " speak of parties that ended in drunken disaster, text message arguments between estranged young couples, and even that perennial rock and roll topic, boredom. Yet somehow the music lifts the mundane teenage neuroses into something strangely grand, beautiful, and universal.
THE WILD MERCURY SOUND was born in September 2007, with the desire to make guitar music which will mean something to people.
THE DASH have torn through London s hottest venues with their acrobatic and frenzied stage shows and adrenaline fueled grimy assault of pure punk. "The purity of their now infamous live performances transcends perfectly onto disc, smell the sweat, taste the beer, feel the forearm in your back as the raw, energetic, adrenaline-fuelled sound of Broomhouse Road comes through your stereo leaving your speakers discoloured with a thick layer of London dirt. Expect big things. " GIGWISE
"The Dash catches the boyish charm and anger of The Clash with the carefree exuberance of The Libertines, making for an intoxicatingly addictive concoction that spits angrily along to a melodic energy that instantly engages and refuses to let go. " ROOM THIRTEEN
PERSONAL SPACE INVADERS Angular guitar, compulsive bass, seething electronics, forceful vocals coupled with a storming backbeat, Personal Space Invaders are a London three-piece with international blood. Their current single, Not My Boyfriend has been spun by Nick Grimshaw (BBC) and James Theaker (NME). It s a high-energy post-indie electro-punk track with most obvious influences from Heaven 17, Talking Heads and New Order and the single includes remixes by Jeff Leach and Lethem.
