4th Sept - Deviant UK + Capital X
Since materialising in 2004, Deviant UK has established itself as a star of the European Dark Alternative scene, proudly waving the flag for Britain. The long-awaited debut album 'Barbed Wire Star' was released in September 2006, spawning the anthemic club hits 'Raptured Saints' and 'Access Denied!'. Their unique sound is powerful, distinctive and instantly accessible.
Capital X are a bit like KMFDM dancing with Kylie at a Sisters Of Mercy gig. They take basic-yet-compulsive synth beats as the backbone to their sound, drown them in layers of fuzzing electronic noise and then add angst filled, attitude soaked female vocals. "What we've got here is equal parts electronica and attitude... this is rock n roll" (Nemesis To Go). Or to put to put it another way, "like the Bladerunner soundtrack as played by the Human League on whiz" (The Mag).

4th Dec - Rhombus + Grooving In Green
Rhombus play unashamed goth rock of the late 80s vintage, with "swirly top-end guitar sounds, strong bass and distinctive male vocals that are reminiscent of early Rosetta Stone" (Kaleidoscope). Rhombus play tight, tense, driven songs that are nevertheless so catchy you'll find yourself singing them on your way home!
Grooving In Green features original Children On Stun members Pete and Si, both of whom consider the band to be a continuation of the Overland era of Stun. Now joined on vocals by Tron (ex Solemn Novena), their live set is made up of Stun classics (up to and including Overland) and new material in the same spirit.
