"Essentially an evil indie disco....a darn sight darker than most" - The Guardian Guide
Shot By Both Sides – London's premier purveyors of arcane, outlandish and fantastical musical delights This continues their residency at the Amersham Arms in New Cross' warped wonderland .
THE LEA SHORES After touring with everyone from Kasabian to the Brian Jonestown Massacre, Peckham’s finest are back in Costa del Thames. Shamanic, hallucinator, colossal walls-of-sound with string-laden, pastoral, almost druidic folk undertones.
Blissed-out psychedelia with festival-friendly anthems†- NME
Evokes faraway ethereal places with sweeping soundscapes created by guitars and violins, which are topped-off with the dreamiest of vocal harmonies. Clash
The Lea Shores are my favourite new band…the music is psychedelic and layered…distorted guitars and harmonies but underneath it’s almost folk music. They should be big…they’re already ****ing epic!Andy Bell (Oasis/Ride)

THE TAMBORINES
Black-clad Brazilian trio unearth some tremendously tripped-out noise. Sitting somewhere between The Velvets, The Byrds and Ride, their fusion of strung-out 60’s acid-fried sounds with Paisley underground leanings is a heady voyage. Take a step into the ether and watch your mind expand!
“The Beatles, MC5, Spiritualized, Primal Scream….this anthemic indie-rocker is up there with the best of them. Sounds like The Byrds on some very bad acid. Amazing†– NME
“A sound that no other bands are replicating at the moment†– Is This Music
“Not only is this a grower, but the psychedelic overtones will make this a firm favourite before the second listen is over†– New Noise
“Impressively Mancunian-sounding shoe gazing with a modern spin†– Subba-Cultcha

AN EXPERIMENT ON A BIRD IN THE AIR PUMP
Gloriously imaginative, inventive and sinister all-girl trio bring their beguiling sound south of the river. Astral soul vocals are fed through a no-wave mixer to create one of the most genuinely spooky sounds you could hope to hear. The future of post-punk: a truly gothic experience.
“Bad Seeds meets the Shangri-Las nightmare. A No-Wave Ronettes….bewitching†– NME
“Top notch goth post-punk†– Artrocker
“London's new girl band, fusing post punk with grunge and gothic rock" - i-D Magazine
“Dark, minimal surf rock with soul vocals. It’s a little like the aural version of a David Lynch film: atmospheric, scary, and arty as ****…†– The New Thing
