Florence and the machine

Florence Welsh has her roots in the rough and ragged sound of American pre-war folk and blues, singing dark subject matter with raw emotion. Accompanied by a different - disposable? - male guitarist at most gigs, she has the kooky stagecraft of Kate Bush, feisty growl of Janis Joplin and pastoral menace of Sandy Denny.

Peggy Sue & the pirates

The Broken Hearts

“This act is full of the style and panache that will leave onlookers gawping enviously from the sidelines” Artrocker

The Broken Hearts are Amber and Nisha: a DJ and performance duo who see every show as an opportunity to get dressed up. Combining an eclectic DJ set with their extensive wardrobe of identical costumes and occasional choreographed routines, the girls provide a spectacular experience for the eyes and ears. Drawing from the iconography of Weimar Berlin, circus sideshows and the Golden Age of Hollywood their show is a technicolour extravaganza that takes the DJ out from behind the decks and into the limelight.

The Laundrettas

Women on the edge, the Laundrettas mission is to bring a little more love and light into this depressed and cynical world. A 15 strong troupe of ladies: by day a sanctuary of domestic bliss as the infamous fifties housewives, by night playing out their dreams & fantasies. Famous for installations and wild happenings they are the darlings of the festival scene, regulars at Glastonbury, Bestival, Big Chill, Shambala, Electric Picnic and Leeds.

Girlcore

Sugar and spice, and all things nice, that's what little girls are made of. Until, that is, they hit their early twenties, move to Hackney, form a DIY collective that's just for girls, and cause near-hysteria on the dancefloor at their riotous, mashed-up parties. From the worlds of media, music, fashion and performance art these ladies are famed for their wild monthly night at Catch in Shoreditch and recently hosted the first London leg of Paris' infamous iPod Battle.
