I, Ludicrous have possibly been "the most original band in the world" since they formed in 1986. The band achieved immortality in 1987 when their seminal flexi release "Preposterous Tales" reached the dizzy heights of number 11 in John Peel's Festive 50. This was followed up by the debut album It's Like Everything Else which also found its way into the top ten of the indie charts. Several releases have followed over the years and in 2007 majot label recognition was won when a retrospective of the band 20 years in showbusiness was released on Sanctuary Records. In February 2008 the 5 track cd "Dirty Washing" was released to rave reviews. A tour with The Fall was arranged to promote the CD. In 2008 the band finally expanded the line up to a 3 piece when long time friend & fan Martin Brett joined the band on bass guitar. The bands latest single release "WE'RE THE SUPPORT BAND" has received rave reviews & worldwide radio airplay. Procter, Hung & Brett plan to carry on releasing new material forever & are particularly looking foward to releasing regular singles from the comfort of their nursing home in 25 years time.
THE NUNS

This all girl six piece play the songs of the Monks in a way that makes you want to shout “IT’S NUNS TIME!”
THE GOOD GODS
http://www.goodgods.com
Tightly knit three piece that evoke early Talking Heads.
“Tom Hatred’s voice at times nears pitch-perfection, fluttering comfortably between a very British bass and a New York hipster falsetto, and is full of passionate personality that encourages you to take note of his every word.” – You Like We Like
THE KOOLER KINGS
http://www.myspace.com/thekoolerkings
The Kooler Kings are a young new band from South West London. When the band played their first gig at The Watershed in Wimbledon, DJ John Kennedy saw them & immediately played them on his XFM radio show. The band were recently interviewed & filmed playing live for a docu-movie about the Reading festival due out on TV & Cinema in the next few months.

New year: New nonsense
I’ve been sitting here since New Year’s Day waiting for the impact of the new decade to hit me but it hasn’t yet.
I do have some exciting prospects for the coming year though:
The brand new Monroe Transfer album is now finished and the artwork has been designed and created, all by hand, once again by Consumer Revolt. It looks and feels, and sounds, wonderful. Apparently there will be a series of exciting things happening in the lead up to its release.
The new Fireworks Night album is close to being completed too, finally ... babies have been conceived, born and are riding their first bike in the time it has taken us to mix the damn thing! It'll be worth the wait though.
In complete contrast to Fireworks Night is the lightning speed methods of Braindead Collective who recorded and released that xmas single with Viv Albertine in the space of a week! We plan to do similar collaborative projects with solo acts, the next one being Mat Riviere (Brainlove Records) who we'll be playing with live at the Good Ship this Thursday.
Smoke Fairies now have a new drummer due to the previous drummer wanting a normal life; get married, watch The Bill and walk the dog in the park near his house in Kent, which is probably very wise! good luck Gregory! We're headlining The Lexington on 1st Feb.
Lastly, I layed down some viola parts on a few tracks on the new/debut Eat Lights: Become Lights album which apparently is now finished, so hopefully that will see the light of day at some point this year.
FUN
