The Grates

The Grates are a two-piece band from Brisbane, Australia. Patience Hodgson (vocals), John Patterson (guitar) and Alana Skyring (drums) formed The Grates in 2002. The Grates have been lauded for their catchy songs and enthusiastic and energetic live show (Patience spends much of the show bouncing around, even while singing). They are frequently described as fun: "We just wanna have fun and hope other people do too." (Patience). Their sound has been compared to the Ramones, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Be Your Own Pet.

The Duloks

The Duloks were formed in January 2005 when disenfranchised Canadian, Mar Sellars (of CBC fame!) arrived to the British Isles bereft of her alma mater band The Ewoks. After settling into the environs of East London, Mar acquired a set of Roland V electric drums and yearned to be in a band again. She started a lonely Duloks MySpace site in November 2005 and three months later enlisted Alice her trusty housemate to play keys. The Duloks MySpace now had TWO friends! (Three if you count Tom).
