Stephen Kellogg

Stephen Kellogg (born November 28, 1976, in Westchester, Pennsylvania) is an American singer-songwriter. He founded his band Stephen Kellogg & The Sixers in 2003. They went on hiatus in Autumn 2012 and in December 2012 Kellogg began working on a solo record, his first solo release since 2002. It's said that the musical urge in Kellogg started with a mixture of his dad's records (Cat Stevens/Jim Croce) and his sister's (Mötley Crüe/Bon Jovi). The songwriting of the former and the showmanship of the latter was the beginning of the musical attitude that pervades Kellogg's work today.

The Toy Dolls

The Toy Dolls are a British band. They formed in 1979, playing their first ever gig at Millview Social Club, Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, UK, on 20 October 1979. After a couple of gigs, vocalist Pete Zulu left to form his own band. He was replaced by Paul "Hud" Hudson, who himself left after a single gig, leaving Toy Dolls as a trio with guitarist Michael "Olga" Algar to assume vocal duties. This was just the start of the revolving door of drummers and bassists that would characterize the Toy Dolls line-up over the years.

The Treatment

The Treatment are sort of a sketch group, I suppose. I mean, they're not really. They consist of three sketch groups; THE TRAP, who are Dan Mersh, Jeremy Limb and Paul Litchfield. Then there's THE CONGRESS OF ODDITIES who are Margaret Cabourn-Smith and Zoe Gardner. Finally, there's the world's smallest sketch group; he's called Michael Legge. The Treatment provide the comedy half of THE REAL DANIEl O'DONNELL SHOW, a music and comedy night that just sort of appears every second wednesday of the month at Lowdown @ The Albany, Great Portland Street, London.

The Burning Hell

The Burning Hell is the alter-ego of songwriter and ukulele-slinger Mathias Kom. Loosely based in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, The Burning Hell has toured back and forth across Canada and Europe since 2007, playing everywhere from festivals to bars to living rooms - and once even a mental asylum in rural France. The band has garnered acclaim for their hyperactive live shows and their caustic yet sincere lyrics, believing as they do that songs about the inevitability of death can also be fun to dance to.

Little Britain

Matt and David's sketch show, Little Britain attempts to explore British life in Britain as it is lived by Britons today in Britain. This series takes the form of a tour around the oddball world of Little Britain, with the booming god-like voice of Tom Baker providing the narration. This is a Britain where the capital city is called Sneddy, where child labour is thankfully alive and well, where Whizzer and Chips has a political correspondent and where, unlike other countries, there are in fact TWO genders.

The Knux

Composed of brothers Krispy Kream and Rah Al Millio, the Knux are an alternative rap duo who are musicians as well as singer/rappers. Born in New Orleans yet displaced by Hurricane Katrina, the musically schooled brothers began creating a stir nationally in late 2007 when they were the opening act for Common on his Finding Forever tour. Dressed in throwback Adidas zip-ups, fat gold chains, and altogether atypical contemporary rap attire, the Knux performed with a live band (the Symetrics) and DJ (DJ Cobra) and frequently left crowds puzzled and occasionally booing.

Group X

Gröûp X, most commonly known without the gratuitous accenture, and also as Gröûp X: Arabian Rap Sensations, is a mix rap/rock group from the state of Georgia, in the United States. The individual performers are known only by their pseudonyms, and their stage persona is that of a rap group from "Cramshananteen", Saudi Arabia with comically accented and mangled English and a vaguely hostile attitude towards the United States and Americans.
