The Instants – London based five piece retro indie rock band The Instants are Simon (bass) Rob (drums) Dave (Guitar) Gemma (acoustic guitar/ keys) and Steve (vocals). An eclectic bunch of characters, all hailing from different corners of the capital, brought together by the love of the sounds each other make. We have been described by others as ‘Retro pop with mucho charm, like a scuffed up Kinks or a fuzzed out punky take on the Smiths’ www.bugbearbookings.com, who’s catchy, individualistic and nerve-hitting tunes are testimony to the creative work of five quirky people with big dreams and even bigger passion for music.
” If you put the Kaiser chiefs, XTC , Kinks and Smiths in a room, pumped them full of crystal meth and viagra and watched what ensued, the twisted freak of a love child would be something like this band” – www.musicnews.com
Influences? a blend of many both classic and contemporary, none of them conscious. Have a listen – what do you hear? NME Radio- ‘An exciting new group…’

The God Damn Disasters – Four dudes playing wild nuevo-rockabilly anyway they can! The London based band were formed in 2010 by Johnny Fox & Billy Lightning. The later additions of Fletch ‘Sweet Touch’ Elliott & Iain ‘The Power’ Mackay completed the line-up.
Shamelessly stolen licks, riffs and melodies are ripped up and glued back together, creating rock ‘n roll monsters which first tapped their toes during the birth of rock ‘n roll, It’s a mix of rockabilly, country and dirty rock ‘n roll called drunkabilly!

“The four bombshells deftly spurred the public into a whooping, wolf-whistling frenzy, masterfully adapting the intimate language of burlesque to the daunting magnitude of a proper West End venue.” – C.J. Lazeretti, Erotic Review

Adam13 is originally from Budapest in Hungry, he got into BreakBeat music in his early teenage years going to various underground BreakBeat nights in Budapest as at the time they were very hard to find, after DJing it for a few years his love of music moved him to London where he has played out a various different nights at venues across London and throughout Europe, Through the years Adam13 has picked up a very different style of BreakBeat which is sure to get your feet moving (even if you aren’t a lover of the music).

Mel De’vil has been DJing since 1999, after many years of staring up at the DJing box in wonder. Since then he’s been into almost all forms of dance music at one time or another, always searching for something new and exciting. However he’s found most success playing either Drum and Bass or House, which he will be playing for us this evening. In the last 10 years he has DJed in many venues throughout London and beyond, including Ministry Of Sound, SEOne, Hidden, Herbal and the Scala. He’s also appeared on many Internet and pirate radio stations including Subliminal ado, Life FM, Origin and Rude FM. In the last year or two he has concentrated more on playing house and tech-house and believes that now is a great time to be into the 4/4 sound, with great music being released from the likes of Claude Von Stroke, Maya Jane Cles, Julio Bashmore and many more new names appearing every week. Mel loves warm chunky baselines and tunes with some soul, but what always brings him back to House music is the groove, that sound that grabs you and sweeps you up until you realise you’ve been dancing for hours.
