Spiral Archive present LONDON + THE ALIENS Saturday August 15th 2026 London is a four piece punk band formed in London in 1976. The original line-up was Riff Regan (vocals), Steve Voice (bass/vocals), Jon Moss (drums) and Dave Wight (guitar). Jon Moss had briefly been the drummer in The Clash before leaving to form London. In 1977 they recorded two singles, a 4 track EP and an album 'Animal Games' for MCA Records.

With over 60 million Spotify streams, releases on Fantasy Records, and appearances at some of the most respected folk and Americana festivals, von Kampen has built a devoted global following. Her national breakthrough came early, earning a Top 10 NPR Tiny Desk shout-out in 2016, which introduced her thoughtful songwriting to a wider audience. In 2019, she self-released her debut full-length album, Old Country, a collection of reflective folk songs that found success on Spotify and among indie bloggers, establishing her as an emerging voice in the contemporary folk scene. In 2021, von Kampen signed with Fantasy Records and released her sophomore album, That Spell, further refining her lyrical and melodic sensibilities.

Her third full-length album, Sister Moon, was self-released in 2024 and marked a deeply personal and artistic evolution. Inspired in part by the writing of Richard Powers, the album explores themes of climate change, environmental stewardship, and humanity's relationship to the earth.
