VIB GYOR are a Leeds-based four piece who write chilling, epic rock songs with a featherlite touch that makes us want to utter the words 'Starsailor' but adding 'though much, much better' after it. Quickly. Recently formed, this is their first London gig after a raft of A&R scrimmaging as a result of the band's glorious 3 track CD that has been passed round feverishly.
"Soothing, dreamy prog-indie awash with trademark Radiohead and Flaming Lips tricks." BBCi

QUERELLE are an Italian trio. They decamped to London and formed a band in 2001 with (a now accomplished) mission to sculpt beautiful post-rock outta their undernourished buzzing hearts. They're often described as a cross between The Lapse, Blonde Redhead and Unwound. They've been creating a reputation for themselves holding their own with the likes of Life Without Buildings, KaitO, Reynolds, Degrassi and The Dudley Corporation. The press have reported:
"A sound as expansive as that of The Mars Volta. Post-rock someone called it. Wrong. Clangorous, Albini-approved ramshackle rock is closer to the mark. Like Shellac? Imagine a half-speed, half-awake version of same and you've got them pinned. Love it." - LOGO
"A charming sense of mid-period Sonic Youth-like urgency, vocalist Gypsy’s simple rhymes gifting it the sort of instant accessibility that so many of their indigenous peers - Lo-Fi Sucks and Laundrette for example - seem to lack." - DROWNED IN SOUND.
