MR. SOLO (DAVID DEVANT AND HIS SPIRIT WIFE) / WAR AGAINST SLEEP / HOWLIN' LORD
The former lead vocalist of mid-90s cult heroes David Devant And His Spirit Wife, now performing under the moniker of Mr. Solo. Playing vaudeville art-pop, he pays homage to a pre-Ziggy era David Bowie with a hint of Marc Bolan. Expect marvellous melodies, strange stage props, quirky visuals, glam make-up and a touch of cabaret chic.
http://www.myspace.com/mistersolo
WAR AGAINST SLEEP
The return of Duncan Fleming, the genius songwriter walking a razor sharp tightrope between deranged humour and classic pop music. War Against Sleep plunders the hidden treasures of a thousand charity shop records, writing songs that tingle the spine, move the soul and lift the spirit, fusing guitar, synths and loops.
http://lwww.myspace.com/waragainstsleepband
HOWLIN’ LORD (solo set)
“Galloping raw country blues. It's terrific, entirely in keeping with the spirit of Hank Williams” –Venue Magazine
Bristol’s Howlin’ Lord is a one-man blues explosion. Taking influences from classic songwriters Johnny Cash and Woodie Guthrie to contemporaries like White Stripes and early Kings Of Leon, the good Lord will give you a country-blues experience to worship. Tonight will be a solo performance.

hey, just stopping by to say hi. I've got a new single up on my page at the moment. If you get a minute, I'd love to know what you think. Thanks and catch you soon! Kevin
I'm just wondering if any Louisiana visitors would be or know of SINGERS or GUITARIST which are looking or could be encouraged to join a band. Please get in touch if you can help!
We had a brilliant time on Wednesday and are really looking forward to coming back on 15 October. I think that gig will be almighty.
There's a new song from our forthcoming album 'Those Left Behind' on our player at the moment and we'll be adding more new songs over the next few days. Stop by and have a listen!
