KarmaDeva

Somewhere between the Yeah Yeah Yeah's Karen O and Patti Smith there is the dazzling, charismatic JJ Stanness, singer of KarmaDeva. With vibrant guitar sounds, driving bass and powerfully expressive vocals this band are comparable to the likes of White Lies, Florence and the Machine, Blondie, Siouxsie and the Banshees and the Editors. KD are fronted by the enigmatic and unpredictable JJ Stanness, whose prom dress-and- bunches sweetness are streaked with a darkness betraying her former life as a mordantly satirical writer and actress with comedy partner Julia Davis (Nighty Night).

Animals

The Animals were an English music group of the 1960s known in the United States as part of the British Invasion. Known for their gritty, bluesy sound and deep-voiced frontman Eric Burdon, as exemplified by their signature songs "The House of the Rising Sun" and "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place", the band balanced tough, rock-edged pop singles against rhythm and blues-oriented album material. The Animals underwent numerous personnel changes and emerged as an exponent of psychedelic rock before dissolving at the end of the decade.
