Having enticed us in with some elegant, thoughtful laptop-backed melodies, we offered Gert Lassitude a gig, only to realise that they were old friends of GTI, having performed previously as part of Dolittle and Mr G & Rich. Anyone who has seen either of these acts will know this is a sufficient seal of approval to attend the gig; anyone who hasn't might find connections with Half Rabbits and Fell City Girl do the trick. If you're stuill not sure, take a look at the enigmatic, sententious statements on his zen-sparse, and meditate until you realise coming to watch the gig is a good idea!

Leeds' Galaxians combine elements of classic New York boogie, early 1980s electro and synth-funk, to create something contemporary. Galaxians' sound combines 606, 808 and 909 drum machine percussion, programmed synth basslines, analogue melodies played in real time and live acoustic drums. The result is unashamed party music, that owes a debt to classic disco and house labels such as Salsoul, Prelude, Sleeping Bag, artists such as Patrice Rushen and Herbie Hancock, and DJs / producers such as Walter Gibbons, Larry Levan, Giorgio Moroder and Francois Kevorkian. Let the shape-throwing commence.

Peerless Pirates deliver an infectious mix of heartfelt, energetic guitar-driven melodies and a lyrical trickery that combined historical flourishes with the modern day whilst doffing their tricorns to some of the indie greats. "Classic indie welded onto rugged, shanty-style basslines that justify the band's name: think The Wedding Present with arrangements by Guybrush Threepwood" – Music In Oxford. "A heavily Smiths-indebted form of jangly rockabilly [...] with a sense of melodramatic melancholy that Moz himself would once have been proud to display" Nightshift. "Cheerfully salty nautical tales, set to Smithsian jangly guitar pop, and sung with gusto in a baritone reminiscent of Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos" Music In Oxford.".
