Red Stripe Music Award Finalists

Klaus says buy the record
“This Brighton based songwriter is already renowned for his elastic live show, where the rousing poet combines pop with the theatrical. His Jamie T spliced with Paul Heaton manner is a jocular and whimsically lyrical feast of menacing adolescent excitement with well-nourished flashes of Get Cape Wear Cape Fly - The Forum,Tunbridge Wells”

Kiddo
“This Edinburgh four-piece makes music so mischievously charming you’re as carried away on their songs as you would be Good Shoes or dare we say, The Cure. Uber-catchy pop songs, delivered with a refreshing sense of on-stage cohesion - Cabaret Voltaire, Edinburgh”

The Down And Outs
Like Vampire Weekend, The Down and Outs know how to make a melody that wraps around your life, itching the sun-loving inner Beatles fan with a vocal jumble of lyrical whips so sharp they pierce the British weather with massive beams of musical sunlight - The Box, Glasgow”

O Fracas
“We’re still not a hundred per cent sure how to pronounce their name, but we do know that they make a different sound to most other bands in the UK. From the outlandish catchiness of their weirdo dark-pop to the undertone of vaudevillian vocals and pianos, they meet the oddball with the custom and make it sound belligerent.” - Hi-Fi Club Leeds

you have to get the ticket through ticketmaster it seems (you don't pay for the ticket but for the postage which i find a bit ridiculous)

It's part of a battle of the bands/music awards kind of show. DPT are special guests - appearing, but not competing!
