The Garden Stage

Redtrack
REDTRACK are four well-dressed roustabouts from Southend-On-Sea who make cuttingly precise alternopop tunes which bring to mind the spiky likes of Costello, Difford and Weller. They have also been making some smart connections on the underground, not least getting Pete Shelley to produce them whilst hijacking some top quality teenie trauma TV time on ëHollyoaksí.

James Yuill
Like many music lovers of his generation James Yuill has a passion for both the emotional songwriting and atmospheres of artists such as Nick Drake, Radiohead and Sufjan Stevens and the visceral beats and dynamic rhythms of Justice, Chemical Brothers and Aphex Twin. Unlike anyone else however, James has fused these seemingly disparate influences into a magical sound of his very own.

Here we Go Magic
Psychedelic, hazy electronic textures, textual loops endlessly repeated and some lost, but brilliantly placed, ambience and noise. Here We Go Magic!

Chief
Chief create rollicking melodic music which captures a time where storytelling was at the core of composition, and bands were followed by fans who believed in what they stood for and knew all the words to prove it.

Japandroids
Originally intended to be a trio, the boys decided to forgo the logistical nightmare of having a ‘lead singer’ and do it themselves. As a consequence, Japandroids are 1 guitar, 1 set of drums, and 2 vocalizers. They call it garage rock. They don’t care what you call it, as long as it’s not minimal. Japandroids are maximal – a two piece band trying to sound like a five piece band. Supporting Japandroids gets you into Heaven – no questions asked. KISS OFF.

The Strange Boys
Austin, TX’s The Strange Boys evoke a wild-eyed, porcelain-skinned innocence that is capable of summoning the wayward spirit of Brian Jones. The mystery of the South couples with the mastery of rhythm to create a sound completely timeless and familiar, yet absolutely raw and avant-garde. Greg Enlow’s syncopated, organ-driven grooves hark back to The Seeds’ “Pushing Too Hard” while guitarist Ryan Sambol’s voice wavers beyond comparison. Older brother Philip Sambol keeps the pulse with the aptly named Matt Hammer, who unmercifully pounds an old Ludwig set.
