Look Out 2010

Overview

The oracle that is The Oxford Art Factory has decided they can predict the future and have picked a few bands that they are shooting forth into the stratosphere. The lineup goes like this- Parades, The Laurels, Cabins, Bearhug, Joysticks, Georgia Fair and Sticky Fingers.

It is a huge, free (yeah that's right free) night of music. You might have heard bits and pieces of some of these bands, they have all had at least a few spins on FBi Radio. Parades are doing well to exist out of the shadow of one of their members Jonathan Boulet who just released his lovely debut record, which critics have been wetting themselves over. The band extend on his sound, with layers of vocals and nice melodic structures but add more electronic tinges to the mix. Cabins make smokey blues tinged rock. They are about to embark on a massive tour with The Mess Hall. There are so many bands playing that I might as well stop here and just say, GO! You'd be a fool not to.
