Joining us for the evening are multi-platinum-multi-award winning band 77 BOMBAY STREET along with MIDDLEMIST RED, EAU ROUGE (Warner Chappell), GLITTER WASTELAND, WEST OF THE SUN and DEADLOVEFEARWAVE. ► MTV Award nominated, double platinum-selling band 77 Bombay Street have just released their new single “Seven Mountains” with B-side “Once & Only” on the 25th March via Gadget Records. Having shared stage with The Cure, Sting, Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys, Imagine Dragons and more, the Swiss-born brothers had their debut album ‘Up In The Sky’ (2011) going double platinum with the single of the same name going one step higher at triple platinum and also going on to triumph in the Swiss Music Awards winning in the categories 'Best Album Pop Rock National' and 'Best Hit National'. The new tracks were recorded at Sydney’s Linear Recording Studios and produced by Chris Vallejo (Passenger and Empire Of The Sun). ► One of Europe’s most treasured bands Middlemist Red are set to return with their new single “Evermore” from their upcoming second album to be released via Mamazone. The foursome have already shared stage with Black Angels and The Wombats as well as performed at festivals such as Sziget, Exit, Eurosonic and the prominent Midem. With over half million Youtube views and an upcoming appearance at Hungarian festival VOLT which attracts over 100 000 fans each year Middlemist Red have been making a name for themselves across Europe. ► Stuttgart-based trio EAU ROUGE release their newest single “Hunting Melodies” on the 13th May via AdP Records ahead of their debut, full length album “Nocturnal Rapture” in the summer. Since launching in 2013 the band have already signed a worldwide publishing deal with Warner/ Chappell. Performing at this year’s SXSW in Austin, Texas, EAU ROUGE have already shared the stage with the likes of The National, Warpaint, Blood Red Shoes, Crystal Fighters and SBTRKT, toured Sweden and played at festivals including Stuttgart Festival, Sound of the Forest amongst others. ►“I could talk about how Glitter Wasteland, the moniker of Siri Jantey, has a name that precedes her sound—which is somewhere in between Charli XCX's infectious dark-pop and Lykke Li's brooding power vocals. Or, I could just present her earth-shattering video (cinematographically speaking) for her bewitching 80s-leaning alt-pop track "Don't Let It Go"—the perfect storm of huge drums, twinkling synths, a propeller beat, and ghostly background vocals—with minimal commentary and let you make up your own mind about her. Because it's just that good. So I'll do that and leave you with one of the best songs of the year for shaking off a bad case of love.” NOISEY ► North London based band West Of The Sun return with a new single “Siberian Hysteria” to be released on the 13th May via Phoney War Records. Self-produced by West Of The Sun and recorded at the famous Hackney Road Studios by renowned engineer Shuta Shinoda whose back catalogue of work features legendary artists Hot Chip, Primal Scream, Spiritualised, The Horrors and Vampire Weekend. Mastering was handled by industry favourite Noel Summerville (Pink Floyd, The White Stripes) who helps form the single’s rich sound - ringing echoes of The Doors, Stone Roses, early Kasabian and even The Chemical Brothers. ► DeadLoveFearWave are to release their debut single entitled “Dont Exist” on the 29th April via DLFW Records. Acclaimed songwriter Paul Eaton and producer Jim Spencer have both enjoyed commercial and critical success together and individually having worked with artists such as New Order, The Charlatans, Oasis, The Cribs and many more.
