Liberty X

Liberty X were formed in 2001, after they were not chosen for the official 'Popstars' group, who later became Hear'Say. Michelle, Kevin, Tony, Kelly and Jessica were part of a brand new group called Liberty. Their first single 'Thinking It Over' cracked the UK Top 5, surprising fans and sceptics alike, who thought that Liberty was even going to struggle to obtain a Top 40 placing in the UK singles chart. A second single was quickly planned, which materialized into 'Doin' It'. 'Doin' It' did not chart as well as their debut, making a modest impact at #14.

Hold Fire

Brighton's Hold Fire are a band in their early 20s who write great songs together. Formed in 2002, singer and guitarist Clark would idle away hours during Science lessons, creating imaginary albums and song titles, but needed a band to help them become a reality. School friends Sam (bass, vocals) and Richard (guitar, vocals) stepped forward and, discovering a shared love of epic choruses with huge melodies, the origins of Hold Fire were born! Fast forward 4 years and together with Drummer Steve, the band have been steadily creating a name for themselves and developing a strong fan base.

Satan Kidney Pie followed in 2002, and the band released two albums, Danger of Deaf and their U.S. debut Benson Burner, in 2003. Bitch City was scheduled to drop later that year or early in 2004.

Tiê

Tiê (pronounced Tee-eh) started playing on the same Sao Paulo clubs as CSS and Bonde do Role but very differently from the "party-music" of her Brazilian peers, her music is the missing link between Elliott Smith, Cat Power and Bossa Nova, Tropicalia and MPB ("Brazilian Popular Music").
Born and raised in Sao Paulo, after winning several "battle of bands" festivals in "sampa", Tiê studied music and composition in New York before touring with Toquinho (a major name on MPB, Bossa Nova) around Brazil and the world.
