“…New rave rock/indie/alternative club night Club COG strolls into town for its next monthly dose of hard hitting,
explosive music featuring the hottest unsigned bands in London. DJ set including simply the best sounds of the
moment, Club COG is here to bring you the music of the moment.” - Gigwise

Speed Circus
http://www.myspace.com/speedcircus
A north London 7‐piece of real people playing real music. Somehow including ska, punk, rock and
blues, with influences ranging from Jewish to Russian to mid‐west America.
Expect the unexpected; catch them on a full day and you’ll see them introduced by Oz, their very own
clown; blues harmonica legend howling slim joining them on stage; and you may even spot the boys
Kosov dancing

Once a Thief
http://www.myspace.com/oncewerethiefs
Runners up in the National o2 Undiscovered competition.
Its kind of like Graham Coxton cranking out The Who covers at 4am on speed… In the end its frenzied
gutter punk with a ragtime pop edge reminiscent of Ray Davies ‐ Starry Night Music

No Picasso
http://www.myspace.com/nopicassomusic
Self proclaimed musical artists whose music sounds like what Picasso would have sounded like if he’d
picked up a plectrum instead of a paintbrush. Gigsonair.com

Trailing Laces

"It’s a remarkably assured debut; a clear statement of intent." ‐ The Fly ‐ Levi's Ones to Watch
