Gig Guide: Sun 16th May

 

Sun 16th May 20:00 SPARTACUS LIVE :: ESTEBAN :: AUDREY COSTELLO :: ALYSE IN WONDERBAND :: THE WHITE HART GANG

Esteban are a rock band - a lifestyle of music, art, brotherhood, parties and touring. With songs drenched in addictive pop hooks, four part vocal harmonies, Latin and African beats and rock guitars, Esteban create a life affirming, soul stirring world sound explosion. Derbyshire based Esteban formed under terrifying circumstances, backpacking in Bali during the terrorist attacks of 2002. Hanging out together around late night camp fires, stories were told about the world and its ways and the 4 musicians embarked on a life changing voyage to South East Asia where their eyes were fully opened to the world in which we live. With touring firmly in their blood, Esteban have appeared alongside Dizzee Rascal, The Zutons, Friendly Fires, The Cuban Brothers and Gomez. With over 130 shows in 2009 including festival appearances and sell out club dates, Esteban have earned their reputation as an amazing, exciting live act. It is on their endless road trip of touring where you will be captivated by Esteban's energetic performances and thirst to find the next big party... out there... somewhere.

Audrey Costello - This pulsing, shimmering fuzz rock aesthetic drives the tunes in a convincing dance with the tunes yet never overpowers or distracts from the beauty of this vocal identity. The lyrics are curious and unusual, and the whole thing has an overall sense of assured coherence. This is really something.

Alyse in Wonderband started playing in 2009 and have developed their sound ever since. Their roots lie in Funk, Rock and Soul but their sound shoots off in many directions, taking the listener to new exciting places. An exciting Funk fusion. Think Maroon 5 meets Beverley Knight combined creatively with early Red Hot Chili Peppers.

The White Hart Gang will open the show.
