Beangrowers Official Website
*Alison, Ian and Mark. Maltese 3 piece alt rock/pop.Frontwoman/guitarist Alison Galea is up there alongside PJ and Nina Persson. If you like your pop-rock short, sharp and to the fuzz-guitar driven point, then you'll love the Beangrowers.*HELENE
Helene Official Website
*Helene Dineen/Graham Gargiulo with James, Will and Caroline. Formed out of the ashes of British cult band Barefoot Contessa.
"Dineen sings with nuanced emotion and no clichés, her songs resonant with the cool, beguiling tones of Nico and the laconic edge of Nancy Sinatra.
Whether she is seeing off an old suitor, or as in the title track, delineating a more abstract mental state, Dineen always pulls you into her world" MOJO*MAGOO
Magoo Official Website
*Owen Turner, Andrew Rayner, Stacy, Gow, Jen Heagren & long time associates - Adam Blackbourn, Gill Sandell & Stephen Gilchrist.
A long time ago in a village far far away, a band called Magoo was formed. Influenced by bands such as Guided by Voices, Stereolab, Pavement, The Flaming Lips and a healthy dollop of radio Peel.*OOM
