HIPPIE OCTOPUS PRESENTS

THE MEXANINES --> http://www.facebook.com/themexanines?sk=app_204974879526524

'The Mexanines are a three piece, bluesy indie/rock band from Bradford, combining big riffs and flowing melodies with toe tapping beats to get the audience moving. They've played a whole host of venues like the Bingley Music Live Festival 2010, The Factory in Manchester, and The O2 Academy Leeds; It was here in fact the band won a competition that confirmed their slot on the BBC Introducing Stage at Leeds and Reading 2011.' - BBC Introducing at Reading & Leeds Festival

'The Mexanines opened the BBC Introducing stage on Sunday with a groovy-laden, 70s rock'n'roll inspired set, complete with leather jackets and just enough swagger to convince the early-risers gathered round the stage.' - The Reading Chronicle

'Next up were the incredible Mexanines, who held so much swagger you would be forgiven for thinking they were playing a headline slot. Front man James Brander did much to secure the attention of the females in the crowd and had them swooning over every word, but every member of this band really does have stage presence in abundance. With a sound that fits somewhere between Kings of Leon Southern rock and good-old British indie-rock, they inspire a uniquely-enjoyable, foot-tapping experience.' - Carpe Musica

'Bluesy indie/rock as tight as their jeans' - Bang The Drum Magazine

TAG-TEAM PREACHER ---> http://www.facebook.com/tagteampreacher?sk=app_178091127385


"An energetic live band reminisant of Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds" - Alan Raw (BBC Introducing)

"Tag-Team Preacher come on with some 70's laid back country pop vibe like a West coast Big Star"

"a gang of ruffians playing the same kind of stylish country-rock that Ryan Adams and The Cardinals peddle"

"'Preachers tunes range in emotional scope from the sublime to the baleful" - Leeds Music Scene

"Guitar driven melodies and sweet harmonies and story-like lyrics" - Leeds Indie Radio.

ST. SOMEBODY ---> http://www.facebook.com/stsomebody?sk=app_178091127385

A ragtag clan of bohemians hailing from Halifax. If Peter Pan and the lost boys formed a band, this would be their vessel.

St. Somebody brings a savage youthful energy to indie. With boyish charm and passion like none other, prepare yourself for disgustingly beautiful riffs and beats so fresh it's like getting slapped in the face with a wet wipe. Get your vests on, its gunna be emotional.
