Andy is working on his third album for Acid Jazz records- when he's not playing bass for Paul Weller or Spearmint, working with Kevin Rowland on material for a new Dexy's Midnight Runners album and DJing across the country and around the world. Expect great things from Lewis later in the year as he builds on the success of the 2007 hit single "Are You Trying To Be Lonely?" and the critical and commercial success of his current album "You Should Be Hearing Something Now!" ..">

Mama Shamone – THESE GUYS AREN’T PLAYING LIVE (except one acoustic) EXCEPT AT GLASTO FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR! http://www. myspace. com/mamashamone “Put Mama Shamone on at any venue and they are likely to take the roof off, this was one of the best live shows I’ve seen in years - certainly one of the best in London. In my opinion these guys are destined for greatness, it felt like I was witnessing history being shaped-something was just so right about what they were doing up there.” Vibe Bar
We Yes You No www. myspace. com/weyesyouno “We Yes You No sing about the end of the world, the end of everything. But in an apocalypse that would sound like this I would buy god’s last EP” – Big City Redneck
Language http://www. myspace. com/languageuk “"The verbosity of funk, the poetic twang of intelligent pop. The bridge between Franz Ferdinand and Smashing Pumpkins perhaps" – Bugbear
