Bohemian Jukebox presents Lewis Garland and The Kett Rebellion + Miss Martin + Abie Budgen + Marieanne + Catalina Knight

Lewis Garland and The Kett Rebellion:
Fresh from Glastonbury, Lewis Garland and the Kett Rebellion have been highly acclaimed for their energetic yet intimate performances. The group’s folk tinged sound provides the perfect complement to Lewis’s intricate, often caustic, wordplay.

Miss Martin:
Forget the cockney chirp of Kate Nash, Lily Allen and all that-This is the future of female Indie-Pop: Surreal narratives and imagery with shades of Homegenic-era Bjork, and Radiohead-esque chord progressions.

Abie Budgen:
Rambling dusty guitar and scratchy ol’ magic delta spirits. Raggedy hobo stories and beautiful crazy noises from far away places.

Marieanne

Catalina Knight:
Blues meets Bohemia, with of vocal range reminiscent of Billie Holiday.

“A lovely little affair, mostly centring around singer-songwriters but with other stuff too. (Some quite surprising other things at times.) I liked the vibe, and indeed the value - four quid gets you four musical acts and a chit that lets you get a shot of absinthe for a pound. You can’t say fairer than that.” (russl.wordpress.com)

Humbucker presents Lucky 27’s + Rock Dog Project + Framed + Dance of Starlings

Lucky 27’s:
Here's a review of the Lucky 27’s by Sandman Magazine:

The Island – Birmingham 22 Feb08

On a Friday night in the heart of Birmingham, one band tried capture the true essence of Rock “n” Roll. I attended this gig not knowing anything about the Lucky 27’s. I did not know anything about their line up or more importantly their sound. I was ready to be impressed...and I was. A four piece band (drums, bass and two guitars) who really strived to bring a modern Rock “n” Roll sound through an old battered sound system. It’s nice to see a young group of musicians respecting that 60’s sound and keeping their sound close to the original. A mixture of guitar and harmonica solo’s thrown in along the way meant they captured that 60’s vibe everybody loves.

Venue: The Sound Bar, Corporation Street, City Centre, Opposite Aston Uni
Time: 8pm
Cost: £4, £3 NUS
