SENNEN

"Having purloined their name from a song title belonging to Ride, who borrowed it from a rugged Cornish cove, it’s no surprise Sennen have co-opted a sound that is far removed from their home in the Norwich fens, assimilating US sun-drenched harmony pop while espousing shoegazey noise from these shores." - NME

" a twisted combination of mangled Mogwai sound collages, grungey Sonic Youth rhythms, Spititualised-like cacophony and sheets of My Bloody Valentine white noise" -eveningnews24

"the best thing to come out of Norwich since Alan Partridge" - Drowned in Sound

Many of you may know actor Ian Somerhalder as 'Boon' from tv series LOST or as the cheeky Vampire 'Damon Salvatore' in tv series 'The Vampire Diaries'. But what many of you may not be aware of, is that on Ian's 32nd birthday, he launched the 'Ian Somerhalder Foundation' which is a Non-Profit organisation who's aim (taken from Ian Somerhalder Foundation website's Mission Statement) "is to empower, educate and collaborate with people and projects to positively impact the planet and its creatures" Viewing the planet as "an interconnected organism of which we are not separate but a part of. There is no differentiation between all living things: trees, rivers, animals and humans. We are all one interdependent organism" Distributing funds and resources towards global conservation, green energy development/deployment and educational tools.

Creating awareness that global deforestation can be seen as a national/international and global security risk.

Creating mobility by engaging and supporting of the most powerful, yet disregarded, disrespected and overlooked population on the planet - our youth.

Ending animal cruelty and promoting programs such as: “species specific sterilization drugs”, transferring and re-training of abandoned animals into assistive and therapy guides.

Supporting and creating sustainable strategies for “no-kill shelters”

We at the IS Foundation Surrey, who are working in support of Ian Somerhalder Foundation, have decide to put on another fundraising event! So come and join us for some live music,prize draws, FREE After Show Party until 2.30am! Let's raise as much money as we can for this amazing cause!

MELODRAMAS  

 

Melodramas are Matt (Vocals), Rob (Guitars), Greg (Bass) and Sam (Drums).

 

They’ve spent the last year recording with multi-platinum producer Sam Williams (Supergrass, Plan B, Noisettes) and touring distant shores (China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Australia, Kuwait). Closer to home, Melodramas have been personally requested by Taylor Hawkins and David Johansson of The New York Dolls to join their bands on tour in the UK.

 

The band release their Kids EP on 5th March 2012 through Jelly Maid Music. It is arguably the first extended play of the year to pay homage to B-Movies, Elephants and Chet Atkins. All songs are produced by Sam Williams and the track Betelgeuse features guest backing-vocals from Gaz Coombes (Supergrass). “Just as well,” says Matt, “as we totally plagiarised his old band”.

 

The Kids EP will be released digitally and on limited edition collector’s CD. Restricted to a hundred copies, the CD will be packaged in a melodramatic metal tin with poster card and associated surprises. Pre-order Kids EP through the JellyMaid website.

  

EVERYBODY GETS ONE

 

Everybody Gets One, taking influence from Sum 41, Blink 182, Lostprophets and 30 Seconds To Mars, are disgustingly young and talented. Having already been exposed by BBC South, they rejoin Melodramas on the bill after last year's sold out show. Their Never Heard of an Off Switch! EP is to be released...soon.

 

BECKY ANDERSON

 

Becky Anderson is a singer-songwriter superhero who is a mainstay of the Portsmouth circuit and an all-round superhero. Having previously graced the scene in band-form she is expanding her audience and musical repertoire in her own right as a solo artist.

 

Followed by after-party with WOLF CUB CLUB DJs until 2.00am

EVIL SCARECROW


Rising from the ashes of what was undoubtedly the greatest "Blue Peter Metal" band of their time - Thor's Children, Evil Scarecrow have gone on to leave audiences awed by their Iron Maiden meets Black Metal meets stickyback plastic performances.

It is Evil Scarecrow’s impressive song writing and ingenious lyrics that are the key to their success, blending together humour with their love for all things Heavy Metal… though of course a bit of co-ordinated dancing never hurt anyone! It is this passion and enthusiasm which never fails to connect with their audience.


BLOODWORKS

Formed in early 2009 Bloodworks are four teenagers from the depths of Gosport that play a blend of thrashy death metal. Influenced by a vast array of music, the band have forged a unique sound that has been described as sounding like “a bus driving through a school”. 
In late 2009 the band recorded and released a two track demo CD which has since been the catalyst for landing many gigs across the south coast including notable support slots with bands such as: Animals As Leaders, Breed 77, Malefice, Annotations Of An Autopsy, Ingested, Martyr Defiled, Postmortem Promises, The Defiled, Lazarus AD, Ted Maul, and Bonded By Blood.
