Summer Sundae Weekender 2009 Line up including The Streets

Noisettes

Furious jazz-punk from this London-based trio. The Noisettes fuse punk, rock’n’roll and jazz to make glitzy, charismatic music, which shimmers beneath singer Shingai’s incredibly rich and powerful vocals. Sounding like a cross between Martina Topley-Bird, Karen O and Billie Holiday, her vocals convey a sense of raw dramatics one moment, and polished refinery the next. ‘Charismatic, enigmatic and exciting… this is a band with talent, creativity and passion in abundance…’ SouthScene

The Streets

The Streets - or Mike Skinner as he's known to his friends - playing an 'extraordinary mix of garage, rap and anything else he can get his hands on' (NME). Whether you love or hate the music, it's originality and impact on the scene is undeniable. His debut album 'Original Pirate Material' was a brilliant blend of urban poetry, cut-up beats and a wicked sense of humour. For many artists, this initial success would have been an unbearable burden, but Skinner returned in late 2003 with the outstanding 'A Grand Don't Come For Free'. An urban concept album, the street-slang lyricism of the original record was complemented with a new found level of emotional maturity. He has raised the bar again, but can he go higher?

The Charlatans

Ever present in the charts and ever popular with fans, The Charlatans have lived through the Madchester era and are still making wonderful indie-pop tunes on the other side. With a back catalogue including 'The Only One I Know', 'Weirdo' and 'One To Another' to complement their new material, expect something truly special live.

The Zutons

From Liverpool UK with a glam-rock-boogie-vibe, this band are from the same stable that produced The Coral. However their second album "Tired Of Hanging' Around", showcases a new, heavier, beefier sound. Expect an improved, confident musicianship of five people with more soul than previously demonstrated on their debut record, during which they were still finding their feet. Frustrated but energised, jet-lagged yet raring to go, The Zutons are back with a big, ballsy album brimming with urgent saxophone and meaty riffs; swampy rhythms and pop to jump around to.

Saint Etienne

In a dance world where drum machines and pounding basslines rule, Saint Etienne have always been a welcome purveyor of fresh pop, dance and ambient fusion. With Sarah Cracknell's breathy, etheral vocal still sending shivers down the spine and a back catalogue including 'Only Love Will Break Your Heart' and 'He's On The Phone' to draw on, plug in and start dreaming.

The Kabeedies

This feverishly exciting four-piece are from Norwich. They have inspired quotes such as : 'Gorgeous, wonky Candy-pop with boy/girl vocals. You’d have to have a heart of stone not to love this. The Kabeedies are a suspicious gathering of some boys and a girl who like to concoct new ways of baffling the human ear. Their slightly damaged minds dream up gleeful pop tunes and a live show that leaves audience members dying for their next fix of sweat and gaiety' (Cherryade Records).

Jim Jones Revue

Supercharged back-to-basics fifties rock'n'roll coming across like a collision between Little Richard and the MC5. It's a dirty yet righteous noise that'll get any crowd to its feet.
