Shockwaves NME Awards Tour February 19, 2009

Glasvegas - Scottish band formed in in early 2006, and championed by music industry mogul Alan McGee. 'Retro-rocking street poets who continue to win over audiences with their bitter sweet vignettes of life'- theBLIMP. From Glasgow with comparisons to the Jesus And Mary Chain and the Magnetic Fields.

Friendly Fires - Friendly Fires lie somewhere between the poppiness of Snap!, the funkiness of Prince, and the electronic dance-iness of Daft Punk Friendly Fires were the first unsigned band ever to play Transmission on Channel 4 which aired on 9th November 2007. Signed to Moshi Moshi they are a band subject to much media frenzy.
White Lies - White Lies belt out the kind of massively epic, chart-topping pop The Killers should still be making. Backed by the management team that are responsible for the Kaiser Chiefs.

Florence and The Machine - Florence and The Machine is a one-woman force of bluesy rock with her roots in the same ground as Scout Niblett and PJ Harvey. The music of 20-year-old Florence Welch, sounds rough and ragged, likened to American pre-war folk and blues.
