Gig Guide: Fri 19th Feb
Fri 19th Feb 20:00 CLUB NME NOTTINGHAM :: KID ADRIFT :: MAX RAPTOR :: LIVE LIKE LIONS
Kid Adrift - Appearing out of nowhere in the Summer of 2009, Radio1 DJ Vic Galloway who discovered the likes of Franz Ferdinand and Biffy Clyro was already saying of Kid Adrift "Remember this name, he is going to be massive...probably the hottest unsigned act in Scotland...if not the UK" and all this only 4 months after Kid Adrift first sharing his wide-eyed music with the world.
The mysterious Glaswegian's brand of Dubstep/Post-Rock/Pop -written, recorded and produced by himself- is appearing through word of mouth everywhere from the cover of industry magazine Record of the Day to storming the Reaction Record feature on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show. Support from Jo Whiley, Fearne Cotton Nick Grimshaw, Vic Galloway and Huw Stephens on Radio 1, Tom Robinson and George Lamb on BBC 6 Music as well as XFM and several US Radio stations such as KNRK (94/7FM) has created excitement around this never heard before sound.
Kid Adrift has formed into a 4 piece band, rounding off their year playing a Maida Vale session for the Electric Proms and joining Big Life Management they are preparing for a busy 2010 kicking off with SXSW in Texas."
Max Raptor are a 4 piece rock/ punk, whip-crack of a band with agitated vocals and fast guitars. Like their music they’re tethered but frenzied, It’s high energy, well thought out and most importantly, believable. Already they have massive support from Kerrang! Radio, Juice FM, The Fly and radio stations and venues all over the U.K. After forming in 2007 they have toured the Country and picked up loyal legions of Raptor followers from the four corners of the U.K playing Club NME, HMV showcases with the likes of Cage the Elephant, Oceansize, Mystery Jets, Hot Club de Paris, Frank Turner, Captain, Black Sabbath’s Toni Iommi and Kerrang! Radio. Last years ‘GREAT AND THE GOOD’ tour saw Max Raptor supporting Billy Talent and The Zutons, it also saw the band playing with Calvin Harris at the Cambridge University May Ball . . .
JB, Tom, Wil and Matt are currently working with producer and engineer Sam Bell. Sam has worked with some of the biggest artists of this young Century; Bloc Party, Snow Patrol, Editors, Weezer, R.E.M and U2 and has seen the potential that Max Raptor have in their raw, original sound.
Live Like Lions formed in June 2009 and arrived with the concept of making great party music with an appreciation for a killer tune. They conceive/write/record everything from their home studio, in which they also sleep, eat and party. They are an extremely welcoming group of boys, and cordially invite you to visit their North London palace for tea and dancing… This autumn they will be starting a series of their own monthly parties at The Fly on Oxford Street as well as playing numerous venues throughout the UK.
