MAIN STAGE HEADLINERS:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
JOE DRISCOLL:
Creating
waves on both sides of the Atlantic are the transcendental sounds of
modern day one man band, Joe Driscoll. His revolutionary take on music
is without boundaries. Effortlessly fusing hip-hop, reggae, soul, folk
and roots rock to create a completely original and unique sound; an
innovator not only for the genre defying music he creates, but for the
groundbreaking way in which he performs it. A true renaissance man,
Driscoll is a lone figure on stage and in the studio, yet is able to
create the complete soundscape of a full band utilizing heavy vocal
percussion, an array of instruments, a loop pedal, and a lot of
imagination. On a seemingly never ending world tour, the venues and
acts Joe has worked with are as diverse as the sounds he creates.
From
coffee shops to theatres, bars to festivals, crowds are moved by his
poignant lyrics, deep rhythms, personal storytelling and funky grooves.
He has shared the stage with acts ranging from Gym Class Heroes to
Regina Spektor, Coldcut to The Sugar Hill Gang at hundreds of venues
and events in both the US and EUROPE.
With the release of the
album ORIGIN MYTHS having gained critical acclaim, Radio One airplay,
sell out release shows in NY and London, and receiving an INDY AWARD
for BEST SOLO ACT, the appeal of this one man magician/musician is
undeniable. The overwhelming response from audiences, critics, and
industry insiders makes it clear that the future is now.

PLANETMAN & THE INTERNATIONALZ:
"Planetman
and the Internationalz prove conclusively that pure groove still has a
place in the hearts and souls of man. Planet is a singer consumed with
the passion of his art. He and his band live and breathe for live
performance, and their communal spirit echoes throughout their songs –
all of which call out in perfect harmony for equality, peace, love and
understanding. This is a good-time band who will have any festival
crowd up on its feet, shoes kicked off and toes dancing through the
fresh green grass." VIRTUAL FESTIVALS.
East-London’s cult band and
members of the Passing Clouds Collective, they formed in summer 2001 by
freedom-fighter, singer, songwriter, guitarist – Planetman.
They
come with a message to express and a mission to embark upon. Their
mission? To promote love & unity amongst all, while blending
elements of Reggae, Afro and Funk into their own distinctive style.
It
is Planetman's personal love for crowd participation and general
all-inclusiveness that instantly break the walls between the band and
the people to create that tribal feel-good experience which always seem
to take the crowd and the musicians to new levels of free expression,
and love for life. Highly recommended spiritual sonic experience!

KING PORTER STOMP:
“King
Porter Stomp blend ska, funk, afrobeat and hip hop to create a
genuinely original, natural fusion of styles.” SOURCE MAGAZINE
With
big horns, heavy bass and deeply politically and environmentally aware
lyrics, King Porter Stomp have quickly established themselves as major
players on the UK summer festival circuit. Since forming 2 years ago,
the high energy eight piece have already rocked stages at Glastonbury,
The Big Chill, The Secret Garden Party, The Big Green Gathering,
Endorse It and Ireland’s Electric Picnic. Their debut album ‘Poison The
Beat’ is continuing to get great reviews and airplay. The summer of
2009 will see the unveiling of their new outrageous horn lines,
thumping beats and delicately crafted conscious rhymes.
The 8
dedicated members of King Porter Stomp were called to Brighton from
very different backgrounds and musical persuasions and first played
together in Autumn 2006. Since then they have been loyally refining
their sound, preparing to unleash their contagious new universal
grooves upon whoever will listen!

THE UNDERCOVER HIPPY:
“When
listening to The Undercover Hippy I could almost smell the festival
camp fires burning. With a reggae style to his acoustic vibes and
lyrical content that speaks volumes about the unbalanced nature of
modern living, here lies a man who knows there are greater things to
sing about than boy meets girl. Lets hope he gets a chance to wake up
the sleeping hippies and turn them into happy activists.”
After a
couple of years travelling and writing songs, followed by 2 years
living in barcelona, Billy finally returned to Britain to do the
festival circuit in 2007. In the spring of 2008 Billy was joined by
James Pagella (Drums), Ben Blackmore (Bass), and the legendary Andreas
Millns (Keys) and a hugely successful festival season followed. Since
then Billy and the band have been gigging relentlessly.
The
Undercover Hippy's first official single, "Money Money Money", will be
coming out in Dec 2008. It is being released by german Label Agogo
Records as a 7" vinyl with Snap back as the B Side.

STOPGOSIXTY:
StopGoSixty
are Mark Batch (Keys), James Budden (Bass), David Collier (Guitar), Sam
Drury (Vocals) and Sam Kenyon (Drums)."We met at school in the
beautiful south west of England and started writing together for fun,
we are still having plenty of it! We were minus a bass player for a
while though, until James turned up... (some say he has magical
powers?!) And so the band was formed, just like that.
We often
find ourselves writing songs in beautiful places in a beautiful little
car. When you live where we do, it's the best way. It's a little
cramped, but worth every minute'
StopGoSixty play a mixture of
Soul,Blues,Pop,Rock. Described as sounding like 'The Dave Matthews band
giving Lilly Allen a stern telling off for not listening to enough
BBKing.

HONEY WEASEL:
If
you can imagine Lee Scratch Perry mixing The Bays covering The Chemical
Brothers, this might give you an idea of what Honey Weasel sounds like.
Or you could try visualizing Too Many DJs spinning The Prodigy with
live additions by Miles Davis. But that would only get you halfway
there. You’d need to add flamboyant outfits, live sample jams, and
mash-ups of the most unlikely genres to really picture Honey Weasel,
more multi-tempo dance music performers than mere disc jockeys.
Their
signature sound lies in the fusion of unexpected combinations of
styles: indie with hip-hop, break beat with reggae, drum and bass with
metal. Most DJs stay within a narrow range of styles and beats, but the
north London duo prefer to vary their sonic colours as much as
possible, following the flow of the music rather than the tempo. And
they do it on the fly, jamming live with a huge collection of samples.
Every set is tailor-made. But you can count on one thing: they will
make the walls vibrate and leave the foundations of the building – as
the crowd’s musical preconceptions – slightly different.
The Honey Weasel sound is reflected in their name: organic, quick, sharp, furry, cute – and rare.

HUNGRY MAN:
Hungry Man, aka Eon aka Hagop Matossian, is a DJ and producer from north London.
He
began mixing tracks in the late 1990s after discovering London’s pirate
radio scene, so unlike the city’s homogenous commercial mainstream. He
began spinning Drumnbass but soon branched out into breakbeat, Hip-hop,
funk, blues, techno, electro, indie and Middle Eastern folk music.
Every track designed to be different, always intended to surprise.
But
more than any other genre, dubstep – a London-bred fusion of grime,
dub, reggae, hip-hop drum and bass and techno – strikes a chord with
his philosophical outlook. Its worshipful focus on the bass register,
slow beats, minimal structures and trippy elements make it one of the
most physical modes of dance music. Intense, deep, and resonating, the
experience feels literally like bass therapy, a low frequency massage
for the body and mind.
