The Velvet Thunders these guys have perfected a party playlist set full of absolute banging dance tunes. From crunching, commercial hard rock classics, to indie bangers, funk and soul staples, big hip hop numbers and punk and new wave corkers. It's all there to enjoy, with fiery lead guitar, righteous riffola, floor quaking bass and big ass drums. And a superb frontman who really knows how to conduct a party. A superb night out assured!

Sub Couple noir pop and post punk influences with portentous grooves and a wry sense of humour at all times. It's a very groovy, head wobbling concoction. So much so that last time they performed for us in the Dublin Chicago hip hop phenomenon Common joined them on stage for a couple of numbers! Who will turn up this time! Anything could happen and probably will.

Messmate - excellent entertainment that somehow manages to combine Nirvana, The Cure and Dr Feelgood and still sound utterly original. The (seemingly) seven foot tall frontman is quite a presence, and does some wonderful Wilko Johnson duck walking as he off loads his ace Anglo Saxon indie angst. Tony Bugbear gives you the DJ action- We Got Killers til 2am
