Monica Queen

Monica has made records with Belle and Sebastian, Chris Coco, and James Grant among others. She was the singer in the awesome Thrum and presently makes records with Johnny Smillie under her own name that are like no other records you'll hear. No attempt to pastiche other artists or be part of any scene, they are as unique as they are beautiful. More inspired by soundtracks than the history of pop with a voice that has been compared to Liz Fraser of the Cocteau Twins, Emmy Lou Harris, Mary Margaret O'Hara and Kate Bush.

Brontosaurus Chorus

“Like Los Campesinos jumping around with Arcade Fire's bubblegum pop playing cousins in a parallel universe” God Is In The TV Zine Brontosaurus Chorus burst onto the Indie scene of their native London in December 2006, quickly building a reputation for joyous, life-affirming live shows. Within a year, the band had doubled in size from the original quartet to resemble some kind of pop octopus; eight different colourful characters vying for your attention and yet moving as a unit.

Bernard Butler

Bernard Butler (born on 1 May 1970, in Stamford Hill, North London), is a musician and record producer. He first achieved fame in 1992 as the guitarist with Suede, at the time an instant phenomenon in UK pop music. He co-wrote and played on every track until 1994, when he left Suede over personal tensions within the band during the recording of their second album, Dog Man Star. Butler formed the duo McAlmont & Butler with David McAlmont. They released two singles, Yes and You Do. A compilation album, The Sound Of McAlmont And Butler, was released after the split.
