Our Tips for 2011

Two weeks into the new year and finally fully recovered from our Cherry Cola New Year's Eve Extravaganza, we thought we'd present you our very own list of artists we think might or might not make it in 2011.

Here goes:

1. Cloud Boat

Minimal internet presence and only musical output being a 49sec long youtube video, Cloud Boat have just popped their live cherry with a prestigious support slot at James Blake's Plan B show last friday.

2. Lapalux

Aka Essex-bred Stuart Howard played the Macbeth only recently in support of Ghostpoet and we'll have him back on the 26th Jan alongside Porcelain Raft (see below).

3. Zoo Kid

Debut release 'Out Getting Ribs' dropped on House Anxiety Records last month. Reminiscent of early Wild Beasts; pre-sexual frustration.

4. Vondelpark

http://www.viceland.com/music/2010/08/vondelpark-has-no-myspace-so-you-can-only-learn-about-him-here/

Minimal 2-step beats set to an ambient backdrop, Peckham-based Vondelpark is on everyone's lips at the moment. Legendary belgian dance label R&S Records-released EP 'Sauna' was only a taster of what's (hopefully) to come in 2011.

5. James Blake

Duh.

To celebrate this, we have invited Porcelain Raft and Lapalux to play the Macbeth on the 26th January with DJ sets from No Pain In Pop, Simon Is Tropical and yours truly.

It's FREE entry so no excuses, kapishe?
