Bolton’s Andy aka Pagan Wanderer Lu is the master of creative electronic indie and we can’t deny he sure knows how to write a catchy tune. Never one for the quiet life PWL has recorded 18 EPs, 5 albums and has released 4 singles since 2001. “A warped genius, like Hans Christian Andersen as sung by Mark E Smith.” – BBC Radio Wales

Charli XCX - http://www.myspace.com/charlixcx

Charli first started performing aged 4 when she won a cruise ship talent contest performing Aqua’s ‘Barbie Girl’. 14 years on she’s been described by The Guardian as “a pubescent MIA, the computer-pop Kate Nash, Lily Allen lost in space, the female Frankmusik, the Fisher Price Fischerspooner, Lykke Li's grimy young British cousin”. Full of E numbers and armed with an amazing range of self written and performed songs Charli is not to be missed! First single ‘¡Franchesckaar!’ was the pop rave kids sound of the summer!

London three-piece Sad Shields deliver fierce female-fronted rock audacity echoing the likes of Mika Miko and Erase Eratta. Fresh from supporting the likes of Lovvers and New Bloods, Sad Shields are going to be firmly on the London radar come 2009.
