.. ...... .. .. ..Alan McGee (founder, Creation Records + Poptones / Oasis, The Libertines, The Jesus and Mary Chain...).. - “... You were amazing… an amazing band, in case you forgot you won… am going to big you up big time… KGB Slideshow played, they were so uncontrived and they naturally had it. But they only had three songs - they were like X-Ray Spex. It was their first ever show, ever and they won. KGB Slideshow will actually make it. KGB Slideshow, just had it, and I know when a band has got it. They will be signed, and make it big…" .. ..The Guardian (www.theguardian.co.uk - Music Blog, 16th March '10).. - “… New female-fronted bands, such as the Bitters and KGB Slideshow, are proof that the battles of grrrl power have been won. Courtney Love should be proud ... I heard KGB Slideshow play their first gig and they were incredible. They only had three songs at that point but the band have immediate authentic appeal. The focal point was lead singer Beti. Her personality dominated while the buzzed-up songs reminded me of X-Ray Spex… The energy was intense and the songs were built around elementary, grinding riffs. Post Modern Literature and Echoes utilised huge, crude, jagged-edged power riffs that were shot through with blinding intensity. KGB Slideshow sound absolutely canonical…” .. ..Mark Thorpe (sub-editor, www.zani.co.uk).. - “… Love both tracks… I am on a new wave tip this week which seems the perfect time to introduce you to KGB Slideshow. Only formed earlier this year, they have already made waves with me… they just have it. Whatever they put in their coffee I want some! It's raw simplistic guitar driven rock with Beti Scott hardly drawing breath, my one wish is that they never become industry polished...” .. ..Simon Fletcher (co-founder, www.gigthenation.com).. - “… KGB Slideshow - you heard it here first…” .. ..Dave Draper (producer/engineer, The Panic Room, Evesham).. - “… A true talent – awesome...” .. ..Chris Bennion (co-director, Worcester Music Festival).. - “… “Art Student (With The Terry Wogan Hair)” has to be one of the best song titles ever. KGB Slideshow are pretty damn good…” .. ..How The Light Gets In (music + philosophy festival, Hay-on-Wye).. - “… Pink haired, post-punk and totally wild; tight rhythms and vocal gymnastics from the hotly-tipped Hereford four-piece…" .. ..Jean-Jacques Burnel (bassist, The Stranglers).. - “… The tracks sound, well, very like old Poly Styrene but on steroids. I look forward to seeing them live at the Wyefest if I get a chance…" .. ..Peter Jones (bassist, Kill City / author).. – “…An energetic, fresh sound… a blast of fresh air…” .. ..Dominic Green (co-founder, Pop Art London / Brontosaurus Chorus).. - “… Great stuff! Particularly like Echoes, it sounds really fresh to me…” .. ..Nina Lyon (@ The Globe, Hay on Wye).. - "... A lo-fi, post-punk influenced, female-fronted pop quartet from Herefordshire, KGB Slideshow fired out three-minute nuggets of jagged intelli-art-pop, with squawky rousing vocals from a gilt-voiced pink haired Poly-Styrene-esque Beti Scott, with radio-friendly choruses, energetic fizzy guitars, machine gun drums, and a stunning live show..." ..
