Phoenix Sounds - music showcases

PEACHY FARMER: Sound like a marmot crusin in 6th gear down a mexican dirt track, with the stereo up full bore. Peachy farmer say” …we have done a lot of supporting great acts…..the specials, transglobal underground, youngblood brass….played glastonbury last year and will do next……we never fail on moving the dancefloor and getting you all to move your feet.” (http://www.myspace.com/peachyfarmer)

KING RAT & The Desperados: Rat, Rhythm. A fusion of genre’s and strange influences dragged through a hedge backwards, rolled in the mud a bit, polished, then spat on – set a light, left in dustbin for 10 years then heaved out into today’s music scene like an unwanted coffee cream. King Rat say”…..Steve Kemp (Stavros Kempos) dropping un imaginable beats on the understated cahon accompanied by lead vocal, Duncan Searle (Slow dog) Lead guitar, and anything else he can lay his filthy hands on, Andy Searle (The rhythm Commander) Rhythm guitar, and occasional epic lick, Antony Evans (The daddy) Bass guitar, grooves that make your pants fall off.(http://www.myspace.com/ratrhythm)

RICHARD JAMES: soulful singer songwriter writes and performs on Piano and acoustic guitar. Classic songs and a classy voice to match. (http://www.myspace.com/musicbyrichardjames)

Sunny Day Sets Fire have five members, hailing from four countries with three singles under their belt in the past two years; all leading up to one very anticipated debut album. Almost purely sensual and visual thrills. Drummer Onyee bounds between instruments in a melodious sundance, and the five-piece band erupt around her in a manner their name would suggest. Sunny Day Sets Fire are hammering away like a Pop thunderstorm” Sunny day sets Fire

Birds Orphans and Fools: Exeter DJ collective of obsessive obscure vinyl junkies. Expect a feast for your ears spanning 60’s and 70’s esoteric, rare and down-right funky beats! Birds orphans & fools
