Our Bands

Black Light Theatre

The Black Light Theatre story only began in January this year. This was the month the four members of Black Light Theatre, reeking of musical experience and urgency, sped into a frenzy of ideas and ambitions and entered a practice room based at a factory in Sheffield. 4 hours later the door re-opened and from the mist appeared the new face of Northern soul. The following months saw the band spend all their time in that same factory or out on the live circuit. Main support at Camden's Barfly, a now legendary gig supporting The Draytones at The Old Blue Last and a single deal with independent label Hooked Up Records quickly followed. With fingers literally in every musical pie ever baked in the north, the band are set to release their debut single this October along with delivering pants ripping performances at several big nights in Sheffield, Liverpool, London and Manchester. When asked what he thought about the band's future, guitarist Rob gave this comment "COME ON!!!!" www.blacklighttheatre.co.uk www.myspace.com/blacklighttheatre

Falling Out Of Cars

Falling Out Of Cars are a newish band from London. Apparently they "craft resplendent collages of effects laden fluorescent cosmic groove that's sumptuously immersed in shimmering showers of fuzzy felt dream pop". And sometimes we make loud noise "not unlike a Harrier Jumpjet pummel-fucking you in the Cranium" Go have a listen. www.fallingoutofcars.com www.myspace.com/fallingoutofcarsuk

Smallgang

Introducing London based indie outfit, Smallgang! Brothers Simon and Toshi Kobayashi front the band, with husband Matt (ex huge Baby) and wife Ruth Atkins complete the lineup. Smallgang have been gigging in and around London for 2 years picking up a loyal following of Smog, Kings of Leon and Pavement fans along the way.
