Gig Guide: Thu 2nd Feb

 

Thu 2nd Feb 19:30 RADAR LOVE :: DAVE MCPHERSON (INME) :: THE FONTANA INSTINCTS :: DAVID LACEY :: MICHAEL LYNCH

Having released debut album "The Hardship Diaries" via a rapturously received Pledge Music campaign in March, DAVE MCPHERSON embarks on one last run of shows before his band InMe hit the road once more. Dave's year has taken in a number of tours, notably with the eclectically talented Devin Townsend and Fightstar frontman Charlie Simpson, as well as numerous headline shows up and down the UK. The summer saw Dave play Download Festival, Sonisphere Festival (joining Ginger from The Wildhearts on stage) and Beautiful Days, as well as smaller but equally vibrant settings such as the Y Not and Two Thousand Trees Festivals.

2012 is going to be a busy year for the Fontana Instincts. With the release of their debut album pencilled in for May, the band will have a lot of places to be as the demand to see them live grows. Having spent a lot of 2011 recording, the Fontana Instincts also played memorable shows with Dolorean, Kassidy and Paddy Considine‚s Riding The Low, as well as being one of the standout sets for revellers at the Y Not Festival. Melodic, energetic and raw; their songs are extremely unpredictable and yet familiar at the same time. The variety of influence on this band is extraordinary, shifting from one song to the next you can hear the countless inspirations, but collectively they have created a sound so unique that it‚s theirs only. A band with a love for Britpop, Americana and West Coast Rock, their sound has been described as „the love child of Waylon Jennings and Marianne Faithfull, brought up on a diet of Noel Gallagher and The Grateful Dead.

David Lacey is a singer/songwriter from Derby. Perfoming feel-good acoustic pop songs influenced by rock, folk and world rhythms his lyrics tell tales of fleeting romance, hope and escapology.
