SPIES IN THE WIRES
1 Foals Techno? With guitars? Yes, that's right; for the discerning indie bumpkin who feels an inescapable urge for pumping polyrhythms but doesn't fancy frequenting some kind of shitty old cow field to dance to them comes this belting Oxford five piece. Ok. so it‘s more 'dancepOp' than techno. but you get the idea.
2 DJ Rory Phillips Not the most edgy of stage names right enough, but be assured: this man packs more angles than a trigonometry book in that well stuffed record bag. Straight from London’s ultra trendy club night Trash. expect awkward dance, forgotten post-punk classics and a few electro-oddities.
3 I Fly Spitfires DJs Something of a revelation on the Edinburgh. nay. Scottish indie club scene (they now also run regular nights in Aberdeen and Glasgow). these lads sure know the tunes to choose. Should prove the perfect foil to Mr Phillips.
4 The Presets are not actually playing. because they've, well. cancelled basically. They will in fact be in Canada. Which is nice f0r Canada.
5 When they could be playing at popular monthly indie- electro crossover club night Spies in the Wires? Honestly, what’s wrong with these people? Beats the hell out of me. (Malcolm Jack)

Free flowing bluegrass punk and chirpy indie are seamlessly merged by Larrikin Love. Treading a similar ground to The Zutons, but with less sax and more fiddles, they may sport some of the most ridiculous haircuts in rock, all askew boho, looking like over-styled cockney chimney sweeps, but their sharp harmonies and raucous guitar strummery more than make up for any sartorial short-comings.
