Sentric Music’s ITC Showcase – Sunday 18th October @ Electric Boogaloo from 7pm
The Federals – Exploding out of the soulless back streets of York, The Federals bring a vitality, urgency and immediacy to the music scene. Fast and furious, these four angry youths are putting the rage into garage with an arsenal of spiky potential rock n’ roll classics.
Gallops - “Gallops, who have inherited more than horsey wordplay from their successful precursors. While they’ve harnessed the jerky propulsion of Foals, the riffs-as-rhythm of Pivot and the synthy tomfoolery so beloved of Battles, it’s all built on a bedrock of post-rock and they’re not afraid to unleash guitars as heavy as, say, Russian Circles (NME).”
Jamie Ley – Jamie Ley was born in the eye of a hurricane and he swears that the wind was whistling in C sharp major that day. Swapping between a variety of instruments including piano, ukulele and guitar whilst wooing audiences with his Buckley-esque vocals, Jamie Ley’s soulful creations certainly stir the emotions.
MidiMidis - MIDIMIDIS are two brothers-in-law who spend an obsessive amount of time in various bedrooms experimenting with retro MIDI and 8bit sounds from the likes of their AMSTRAD CPC 464 and ZX SPECTRUM. They are the only band who compose all of their songs using 8bit and MIDI whilst adding late 70's New-York style guitars and crooning vocals.
Dirty Goods – Dirty Goods are an elctro-pop/dance two piece from South Wales. Formerly of “super scratchy indiests” (NME) Jump The Underground. Influences are drawn from many a musical genre but sounds of Chromeo, Daft Punk, Pheonix, Basement Jaxx can all be heard. Safe.
