LIVE

Julian Verlard

Julian Velard is from Brooklyn. He’s a bit like a young Tom Waits. He sits on stage with his grand piano and sings songs about love with his whiskey-and-cigarettes-soaked voice.

Pull In Emergency

The kind of young, fresh-faced band that sing happy, optimistic songs that make you think of sunshine and festivals. It can’t last long. Soon they will be old.

Friday June 1st...

The Real Heat, The Changes, Sunny Day Sets Fire..

The Mucha Marcha camp are getting extremely excited that festival season is upon us. We can smell the mud, rain and portaloos in the air. We have therefore decided to make this month’s extravaganza a bit of a practice run. Especially since global warming has allowed Proud to re open its outside space early. Whistles, straw trilbies and pints of cider will be in abundance. Not to mention some dirty beats and bands of epic proportions. Dust off your wellies and get yourself down. At £7 it’s cheaper than Bestival, easier to get a ticket to than Glastonbury and the next day you can nurse your hangover in bed rather than a flooded tent with the sun beaming down on your head surrounded by 50,000 other people.

The Real Heat (LIVE)

Finally a girl band with some serious balls. Fucked up Electromagnetic Grit Pop from sister trio Shaki, Zaza and Suki. They are everything the Sugababes want to be but aren’t, especially since the scary one left. Their tunes are as sexy and gritty as you can get and there are few people who can pull of a leopard print leotard and rollerskates in the same way they can. Popjustice’s band of 2007.

The Changes (LIVE)

The darlings of Chicago’s Popscene, but don’t expect matching Topshop micro mini’s and leg warmers ala Girls Alloud. These four lads have played alongside The Kaiser Chiefs and Future Heads and there isn’t an England Footballer husband between them. Their guitar pop has some seriously danceable beats so show them some love - they have come all the way from The windy City.

Sunny Day Sets Fire (LIVE)

If the name alone doesn’t make you want to don your Havaianas and have an intense OC style romance with someone inappropriate then their summery Indie Folk is bound to.

Coconut Twins

Zezi and Kesh… are amazing. They are able to simultaneously exist in an infinite number of places all at once and without any loss in colour resolution. They have also perfected the mystical art of Making Drunk People Dance and has anyone noticed that they appear to have twelfty million Myspace pages between them?

DJ Maigret Jr

This tall, hairy loveable rogue has a penchant for playing Bugsy Malone, but don’t worry he will be playing a range of records that have nothing to do with children dressed as adults or splurge guns. Expect everything from Sizla to Dolly Parton. I guarantee this set will not allow your tapping feet and skanking knees to leave the dancefloor.
