LIVE LINE-UP -
WHITE MICE (U.S.)
White Mice make a terrible noise. Like Hell straining to break through. They wear masks & we like them, a lot. Please check there records out, quick.

SHAWN GREENLEE AKA PLEASUREHORSE (U.S.)
Another noisemonger; Mr. Greenlee used to play bass in the lovely Six Finger Satellite. He also takes a major role within the Fort Thunder arts collective / warehouse community back in Rhode Island. A pleasure to have him over here.

INFANTS (London)
Barry Dobbin (the guy from Clor) + Infants = Barringtone.
On there own, we think they're even better, with a live show that truely isn't to be missed.

ACTION BEAT (Milton Keynes)
Oh my, we're in sex wee territory with Action Beat. 'Improv' used to be a very bad word. Not in these guys' dictionary. Three drummers. What's not to love. "Glenn Branca in boxershorts, on acid".

WET DOG (London / Leeds)
Fresh from supporting The Gossip on there last tour, last month; Wet Dog are a blistering all girl three piece who's song is currently the myspace theme for The Festival.

DAY FOR AIRSTRIKES (Rochdale)
Lovely local 'quiet loud quiet loud louder louder loud as fuck quiet' outfit who haven't been seen by enough people and who are better than Mogwai. Don't believe me? Come and see.

COWTOWN (Leeds)
Matching outfits, dancing girls, surfy undercurrents, Yorkshire energy, drugs, movement, sly winks, hot shit.

DRUNK GRANNY (Cardiff)
With one of the best bands names ever this all girl duo do an incredible version of Lets Get
Physical, which they've just taken off their myspace. So, you'll have to come and hear it for yourself.

BREAKING COLTS (Manchester)
"Aaaah, what the fuck is that noise, turn it off, now". That's what my mum said. Fierce and local, these folk can play. Fast tight drumming and pounding base. Duck!

HOT BONE (Manchester)
More masks. More grand noise. These guys were recommended to us by just about everyone. When we did eventually give them a listen we wept openly.

ICE-CREAM HEADACHES (Leeds)
Tropical noise from over t'hills. Exotic open-plan clunk punk trailblazers. Rah.

HOTPANTS ROMANCE (Manchester)
Taking their queue from Barbra Streisand wet dreams, lycra, Sleater Kinney and Jonathan Creek these girl play short sharp agressive female smelly punk rock. And, they've just got an lp out.

VERBAL TIGER (Somerset)
West country acid rapscallions. A unique proposition.

DJs -
JONNY BON TEMPI
Stukasoul Collective. dark beaty stuff to get those legs a pumpin' and the mind a spinning.

KATE THE-MEN
Heavy-ness. A counterpoint to Jonny's 'crowd pleasing' ways.

JAKE BARNES
Barbed Wire Kisses - dark wired sound. One of the few DJs in this city with what we term 'genuine taste'.

MATT DUTTON
Bring On The Dancing Horses. Whenever I've been in Font my ears have always pricked up, which is in itself a rarity. I found out recently it's mainly been this fella that's been playing.

DR ALAN THOMPSON
Team Bitch DJ. Nuff respect.

GRAHAM VON BEARDO
A regular DJ at the bi-monthly Touch Me I'm Sick Events. A stalwart, many would say.
