YEAH SPARROW Not quite as American as americana, not quite as polite as traditional folk, Yeah Sparrow is evolving as the potential missing link between the current proliferation of US influenced singer-songwriters and the future of contemporary folk music on this side of the Atlantic. With regular appearances at top alternative London venues such as the Windmill and the Ritzy over the past year, as well as appearing on two stages at the Latitude festival, Yeah Sparrow are touring the UK in the coming year with a mixture of intimate solo shows from frontman Kevin Hadley, and full band performances that look set to be as playful and impassioned as their lyrics suggest. Think of a mongrel mix of Tom Waits, Elliot Smith and Broken Social Scene, with a falsetto vocal not unlike Thom Yorke, and you re somewhere close.
MOONTHIEF
COPPERS FOR KARMA are billed as A hot mouthful of upbeat driving funkbilly, and The London threesome you most want to be part of . Their energy and standard of musicianship on stage is matched by their versatility as writers and the imagination of their arrangements, and their aftershow parties are truly the stuff of legend. So what are you waiting for? Get down to a show, grab a spot near the front and prepare your badass self for a deluge of aural pleasure guaranteed to raise a smile, swivel the hips and loosen the bra-strap.
RESIGNED Resigned are an east London based quartet formed in the late spring of 2007. A few months of rehearsing and feeling the restriction of studio life the band ventured forth into the dirty, sweaty arena of London s pub and club live music circuit. Two years on and the band have now played at most of London s established live music hotspots including The Water Rats, The Dublin Castle, The Hope & Anchor, The Buffalo Bar, The Bull & Gate and 93 Feet East plus a number of dates at other great venues in the city such as Lark in the Park, Comedy, The 12 Bar Club among others.
