The Raconteurs are a new band made up of old friends Jack Lawrence (bass), Patrick Keeler (drums), Brendan Benson (guitars, vocals, keys) and Jack White (guitars, vocals, keys).

The Killers

Formed in late 2001, Las Vegas-spawned guitar-synth four-piece The Killers stormed into the UK in the summer of 2004 with their hit single 'Somebody Told Me'. After touring with British Sea Power and stellastarr, Brandon Flowers and his men quickly gathered a mass of fans and plenty of media interest in their aptly named debut album 'Hot Fuss' flying from virtual unknowns to award-winners practically overnight. Following a short break when various band members pursued solo projects, The Killers make a welcome return in 2012 with their fourth studio album, 'Battle Born'.

Dirty Pretty Things

Were an English band fronted by Carl Barat of Libertines fame, after the well documented demise of his explosive relationship with Pete Doherty in 2004. Joined in 2005 by fellow former Libertines Gary Powell and Anthony Rossomando along with Didz Hammond of The Cooper Temple Clause, their energetic punk rock fused with elements of reggae kept fans of the Libertines satisfied. However, after releasing two studio albums 'Waterloo To Anywhere' and 'Romance At Short Notice' the band announced their split in October 2008, playing their final shows and UK tour a month later.

The Subways

The Welwyn Garden City trio (Billy Lunn – guitar/vocals, Charlotte Cooper – bass/vocals and Josh Morgan – drums) started playing in their local area in 2003 and, after beating 5000 applicants, they were picked by Michael Eavis to play at Glastonbury. Hype surrounded them in the wake of that performance, and judging by the relentless urgent energy and polished songwriting they are able to conjure up, it seems justified.

The band began life in Cumbria, 2001, and after a few relocations gained an enormous reputation in Brighton and then Europe, as tour supports to such greats as Interpol and The Flaming Lips.

The Automatic

'In 50 years from now, when musical academics come to show the world what music was like in 2005, they will put this on. They will then nod along thoughtfully and come to the conclusion that it's rather spiffing'- NME.
