Colorama

Colorama are the brainchild of Carwyn Ellis, a Welsh wonder who has performed or collaborated with the likes of Edwyn Collins, Oasis, UNKLE, Shane MacGowan and Pete Molinari to name just a few. The band only started playing together in July '08 and are already definitely one to watch.

Fuzzy Lights

Formed in Cambridge in 2004, Fuzzy Lights create haunted, visceral music that pulls and tugs at its moorings. As well as touring the UK as guests of Young God Record’s Mi & L’au, they have shared the stage with Jack Rose, Vetiver and MV&EE amongst others. Hard to pigeonhole as they combine both folk purity and psychedelic guitar noise with echoes of more traditional blues/Americana, their reverb-soaked, semi-improvised music is now collected on their debut album ‘A Distant Voice’ (released November 24th).
