We are very pleased to share with you that GRANDADDY are re-forming for a limited run of shows this year, including a UK festival exclusive headlining Sunday night at our End of the Road Festival.
We are also super excited to have confirmed ALABAMA SHAKES, who we've been trying to book since October last year, and who we finally got to see live for the first time last week! It was an amazing show, and we can't wait to see them at End of the Road.
THE DEEP DARK WOODS are a wonderful Canadian band from Saskatoon, who have recently been nominated for two big awards; in the JUNO Awards for 'Roots and Traditional Group Album of the Year' and in the Sirius XM Indie Award in Toronto for 'Folk Roots Artist/Group of the Year'. Congratulations and good luck!
Alex Zhang Hungtai, known by his stage name DIRTY BEACHES, is a Taiwan-born Canadian lo-fi musician based in Vancouver, who's EPs and most recent album 'Badlands' have been making many a fan across the world. His music includes influences from the world of cinematic sounds, particularly the eerie, stylized noir of David Lynch, Jim Jarmusch, Quentin Tarantino and Wong Kar Wai.
EAGLE & THE WORM are an 8-piece from Melbourne, Australia, with vibes along the lines of Rolling Stones, T. Rex and Pavement. Songs have been desribed to feel like a friendly jam turned into anthems with a real feel-good factor and infectious glow.
Mauro Remiddi, who goes under the name PORCELAIN RAFT, has been fully dedicated to a life of making music... from playing gypsy klezmer music with the travelling Berlin Youth Circus to playing the piano in bars in New York to being in an indie pop band in London... he even played End of the Road Festival once with his former London based band (Sunny Day Sets Fire). Porcelain Raft is pretty different to most things he's done before, and borrows liberally from both the shoegaze and dream-pop playbooks, with layers of sonic gauze shot through with a delicately strummed acoustic guitar pattern and Remiddi's distinctive voice.
WILLIS EARL BEAL played his first London show only a few nights ago, and it was amazing! The Chicago singer performed his set a capella and backed only by a primitive backing track. His debut album 'Acousmatic Sorcery' will be out on XL imprint, Hot Charity, on April 2nd and we can't wait!!!
