Rosie & The Goldbug

From deepest Cornwall, Rosie's obsessions find form in glam-stomp pop dramas. Joined by The Goldbug (aka drummer Plums and bass player Pixie), they're almost like Thin Lizzy but with a synth combined with a love of Kate Bush and Tori Amos. A robo-disco throbber, propelled by a rich, sob-in-the-throat vocals from frontwoman Rosie.

Broken Records

Broken Records are a seven piece band based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Formed in early 2006 as an antidote to work, they have gigged continuously since then, seeing several members come and go from the fold. It is in this vein that Broken Records started, as a loose amalgam of musicians who would play under one banner when not doing their own work.
