AXXOON -http://www.myspace.com/axxonn1
AXXONN takes all things beautiful - unicorns, showbags, stolen pens, J-Pop - and mashes it into shit, noise, dirt and distortion to come up with what can only be described as a mix between 'Powernoise & Icecream'. Lulling listeners into a false sense of security at times, AXXONN's aim is to transverse a number of genres, picking, choosing and using their favourite facets of black metal, doom metal, ambiance, electro and pop to create a cacophony of sound that feels like a rainbow sawing through your cranium (in a good way). AXXONN consists of solo artist and Room40 (Tenniscoats/Tujiko Noriko/Lawrence English & John Chantler) collaborator Tom Hall

The Vainglories
Gillian Alder has been writing scores for imaginary films as The Vainglories since 2003. Whilst living in Melbourne she played in melodic pop band Tempted and electronica duo Sweet Violentine, and contributed music to theatre, live improvised comedy and (actual) short film. In 2007 she moved to Brighton and has been working on creating a live performance set from The Vainglories' back catalogue of extraterrestrial lullabies. The Vainglories' music has featured on Australian radio stations SBS, PBS and Triple J, and was selected for a Melbourne Fringe Festival compilation album in 2004. In January 2008 The Vainglories played her debut live gig at Brighton's Spirit of Gravity.

A review from The Vainglories debut gig:
The first live performance for The Vainglories was, as described on the tin: beautifully crafted electronica with dark undertones and scary undercurrents. Sat at a keyboard, laptop and FX Melbourne native Gillian Allder worked her songs by building up a background through the laptop into concisely structure songs with haunting piano leads over the top.
