Mon 17th Nov 19:30 Kind Of Girl / The Unwanted / The Limits / The Hard Luck Saints

Kind Of Girl
Three Danes decided to bring the world’s attention to: interesting, addictive, beautiful, honest and inspiring pop songs. Sissel (lead vocalist and songwriter) returned from The States, giving up her bebop guitar chops in favour of spending some time writing these pop songs claiming “they simply sound better!” Somewhere along the way Jesper arrived, and urged her to keep up the good work, eventually booking the gigs and marrying her. Then, Rune was called in on a studio session, to put some bass on a few tracks - fortunately he decided to stay a little longer. Kind Of Girl was formed. They’ve recently finished recording their first album "Lonely in a Modern Way". Without doubt they belong among the hardest working Scandinavians in showbiz....and the ones with the greatest songs!

The Unwanted
Operating in their current form since 2008, after a break of almost a year, The Unwanted are back. An exciting two-piece band hailing from Ilkeston, Derbyshire, combining powerful guitars with mellow pianos, electronic dance beats with vocal lines befitting of the west end. The Unwanted create a unique sound that instantly hooks, and very rarely let’s go.

The Limits
Made up of four lads and no bullshit. Just a mountain of quality tunes that not nearly enough people have heard. With a self produced 5 track demo made from blagging free studio time and even cheaper equipment - it’s not what you’ve got, it’s what you do with what you haven’t got! Drawing on influences from the 60's to the present, The Limits have their own sound and give you something different with every live gig. As quoted on BBC Radio, "This band is going to be huge!" “...who cares what we’ve achieved so far, it’s about what we’re going to achieve in the future, and we know the music we make is better than the last lot of shite you heard on the radio anyway”

The Hard Luck Saints were brought together by a love of rock ‘n’ roll and a desire to play it. For them it’s about the music, all the good stuff that comes along with it and playing from your heart no matter what. Mixing both classic and modern influences with their own sound and style, the Hard Luck Saints play their own particular brand of high-octane, good-time rock ‘n’ roll like every night is their on Earth. They’re underdogs playing the underdog’s music and they wouldn’t have it any other way. The Hard Luck Saints – a shot of hell-yeah rock ‘n’ roll gasoline straight to your bloodstream.
