Big Chill 2009 Line up including The Gist

To Rococo Rot

The Berlin and Dusseldorf-based trio, brothers Robert and Ronald Lippok and Stefan Schneider, with their sumptuous and restrained instrumental soundscapes and lugubrious basslines resolving the conflict between abstract electronica and contemporary dance music.

Trevor Lock

A gifted young actor and comedian who is best know for his mute supporting role on Lee & Herring's TV show. He looks like a cross between Neil Morrisey and Hugh Grant, but he can also act!

Zombie-Zombie

Japanese classic music fused with psychedelic and experimental sounds.

Noel Fielding

'Noel spent most of his childhood being chased by butterflies and moths who viewed him as a king...he is a blur of boney-arsed looseness immersed in gaily coloured hipsters, skimming the stage like a shaved bush baby or like an excited child trying to impress an adult'. (Fibbers)

Max Romeo

Born Max Smith in 1947, hooked up with Kenneth Knight and Lloyd Shakespeare, in mid sixties Kingston and The Emotions were born. It is perhaps Max's solo material including the infamous 'Wet Dream' single, widely regarded as launching a new sub-genre, that took a hold of the reggae music scene. The rest has mushroomed from there.

Amadou & Mariam

A duo from Mali who have had success in their homeland since the late eighties, and are now also finding recognition elsewhere. '...the fizziest Afro-pop blues ever bottled'- The Observer.

The Ex

'The Ex and called 'The Ex' because 'The Ex' can be sprayed onto a wall in two seconds flat'...seems as good a reason as any! 'The Ex' emerged from the Dutch punk scene in the late 70s, and have developed into a melting pot of divergent musical styles, from jazz to ethnic music to rock.

Andrew Bird (2)

Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist and lyricist Andrew Bird picked up his first violin at the age of 4. Actually, it was a Cracker Jack box with a ruler taped to it, and the first of his many Suzuki music lessons involved simply bowing to the teacher and going home. He spent his formative years soaking up classical repertoire completely by ear so when it came time for a restless teen-ager to make the jump to Hungarian Gypsy music, early jazz, country blues, south Indian etc., it wasn't such a giant leap. It's fitting that now, though classically trained, he has instead opted to play his violin in a most unconventional manner, accompanying himself on glockenspiel and guitar, adding singing and whistling to the equation, and becoming a pop songwriter in the process.

Noah & The Whale

Energetic popsters from London whose proficient songs and live sets employ beautiful harmonies and elements of folk and bluegrass to good effect. Their hit song '5 Years' Time' is sufficient to reel in any potential fan, as their packed-out gigs would suggest.

Emmy The Great

Emmy the Great writes songs for her friends. Her friends are all double crossing liars, and some of them are dead. Emmy seems to have come out of nowhere, sharing an aesthetic backdrop with Cat Power and Regina Spektor. A point of note for any audience would be the directness and frankness with which she approaches lyricism, a keen contender on the British anti-folk scene.
