11.00pm - Rochelle
"Strewn with filthy bass-driven beats and sweeping synths, 'Party Girls' sounds like Eighties Madonna fronting a darker New Young Pony Club. A combination that sounds like it'd work fantastically well - and it does... making 'Party Girls' an instant floorfiller." - John Bishop (ThisIsFakeDIY.com)

10.15pm - goFASTER>>
In their own words: “Bored by the serious nature of the music they’d played in previous bands, Rich, Chris, James and Ian decided to form a band to write pop songs about rubbish jobs, daytime television and STDs, and to generally have as much of a laugh as possible.”

"The most exciting band to come out of Liverpool in the last year." - Gigwise.com

“Imagine what Arctic Monkeys would sound like if they spent as much time on their tunes as they did their lyrics.” - Clickmusic.com

9.30pm - Data.Select.Party
Data Select Party are a four piece from Kent and are the perfect tonic to help you clutch onto the forgotten summer joy. Imagine a popped up, punked up version of Minus The Bear.

8.45pm - The Officers
This 5 piece from Leeds engulf you with their dark and squelchy electro basslines, massive guitar grooves, incendiary beats and rock and roll swagger. Pulling from a range of influences from the likes of Jesus and the Mary Chain, Timbaland and Stetasonic.
“This demo is astonishing. I'm getting the same feeling of impending greatness that I did when I played Kasabian's demo. The Officers are my favourite new band by a f**king country mile.” – EddyTempleMorris (Xfm)

8.00pm - Trash Fashion
“Trash Fashion are Nu Rave’s answer to Duran Duran and touted as the next big thing by both the style press and the broadsheets” - Disorder Magazine

“Trash Fashion's 'it's A Rave Dave' is a late contender for single of the year” - TimeOut

7.30pm - U R Penetrators
Whilst every other emerging indie band are slightly missing the boat on the nu-rave/electro-wave/synth-rock-tastica thing that has been ever so trendy of late, U.R. Penetrators are ripping up dancefloors across the UK with their irresistible, beat-laden sinister disco offerings.

7.00pm - Modernaire
Modernaire are a pop duo in Manchester. A heady mix of midnight synthesizers, tales of murder and intrigue, choral harmonies and electronic drums of war, Modernaire are putting a dagger into the back of bland electronic pop.

6.30pm - Salty Lips
Saltylips have been writing and recording for about a year and have now started to perform live. Their live show is outrageous, with great music and loads of laughs thrown in. Salty Lips pride themselves on mixing music, theatre and comedy into each of their performances.

6.00pm - Maudite Dance
Maudite Dance were formed from the much-loved carcass of The Clerks; a Parisian four-piece who met at film-school, penned a clutch of stomping songs, then fled their native city for the romance and frivolity of Stockport. Still leading a merry masquerade through the layered soundscapes and incandescent boy-girl harmonies of The Clerks, Maudite Dance are one member bigger, and rotund with renewed energy. The influences remain - Joy Division, The Beatles, Sonic Youth, Prince – as do the hypnotic live performances and rippling of guitars, samples, keyboard and popcorn drum beats.

5.30pm - Glamour Soundsystem
The Glamour Soundsystem is a solo artist from Birmingham and has achieved a lot during his short time in the electro/rave scene. As far as live performances go G.S.S always delivers, energetic and fun-filled shows getting as involved as possible, sharing the stage with such acts as Pendulum, Digitalism, The Teenagers, Trash Fashion + Nightmoves

5.00pm - Darlings Of The Splitscreen
Darlings of the Splitscreen are southerners Chris, Tom and Phil who in 2004 made a pilgrimage to Sheffield, the steely birthplace of electronic pop, and never left. Thus our heroes set out to make their fortune as colourful, prog-pop, dancefloor-mangling wonk-merchants. The potent combustion of three-way vocal harmonising, uber-funky bass shuffling, synth-guitar dueling and relentless sequencer-driven beats leaves a trail of sweaty bodies and smiley faces in their wake.

4.30pm - The Thief
"FNF finger digit-debutantes, The Thief, half time canned psalms in biro-gliding nuclear fuel bicycle factory formation" - manchestermusic.co.uk

4.00pm - Deluka
“World, meet Deluka: we suspect they may soon be your favourite band. Their danceable, hook-packed, attitude-laden sound impacts like a sharp slap in the face." - Dazed and Confused

"Deluka's high-pitch riffs and husky toned vocals will cause cerebral malfunction until your feet comply." - NME

3.30pm - Bitterly Ironic
"Bitterly Ironic boast a veritable rats' nest of the things, out of which seeps a collection of glitchy rhythms. Voluminously-haired Ant Hickman is at the controls, deftly manipulating an array of synths, bleeps and assorted boxes of tricks like a man who could do with a couple of extra hands..." - manchestermusic.co.uk

3.00pm - City Lights
"They play upbeat indie pop with that added bit of innocence. You know, like those smoothies. They are pure or something. I like them because their music is simple and it isn't trying to impress, or be the next big thing. They're just doing it for the love of playing"- Bizarre Prostitution Magazine

2.30pm - Pictures Of You
"At the end of 2005 Michael Hutchinson decided to call it a day as he parted company with his acoustic guitar due to "Artistic Differences". Undeterred he found some new band mates. Namely Mr Electric Guitar, Mr Drum Machine and Mr Megaphone. With a shared love of Swedish Pop and Leftfield Indie they became the electro pop collective known only as PICTURES OF YOU. They then took all their saddest stories about heart break, disastisfaction and boring nights out and turned them into beautifully joyful ditties with the hope that girls and boys may one day dance and cry to said songs.

1.45pm - Sir Yes Sir
The dying embers of summer 2005 saw SYS rise from the ashes of various UK garage, hardcore punk and glitch projects. Progress is steady, boys are salivating, girls are swooning, SYS are too busy partying to notice.
