Who I'd like to meet:
Many many good things that are 2008. Some are acts we believe should be much bigger then they are (musically, not height wise). Others are just random rantings of a musical nerd Acts we like The Wave Pictures (one of my favourite Let's go baboon acts of 2007)
David Cronenberg's Wife (glorious new single, great live)
Maggie (another Hood affiliated top act, hopefully in London soon)
The Slow Life
Mechanical Bride (would like to have them on soon
The Strugglers (marvellous US act who should be far far bigger than they are - its mine and yours secret right?
Former Bullies (can't understand why they aren't bigger, fave live act for Let's go baboon of 2006 and still ones to watch
Blanket, Jonquil, MJ Hibbett, The Sliding Rule, etc etc In a band - let me know and we'll see what we can do. Cheers
