Following last October's sold-out indiepop spectacular, Pic 'N' Mixx is returning to the Buffalo Bar with an ace line-up and more mix CDs for a bunch of excited spectators.
***THE PREMISE***
Make a mix CD, drop it into the box on the door, get one made by someone else on the way out. There are also some made by a variety of excellent musical doyennes from across the board, for example:
Radio 1's Bethan Elfyn, Wichita Records' Mark Bowen, Service Label, Everett True, Bearded Magazine's Gareth Main, musicOMH.com's Michael Hubbard, the BBC's Mike Diver, London promoters God Don't Like It, The Clientele, MJ Hibbett, Lucky Soul, The School, Detox Cute & The Beauty Junkies and Stairs To Korea. Wowee.
***THE BANDS***
- POCKETBOOKS
Pocketbooks are a pop band from London, combining melodic boy/girl harmonies, spiralling guitars and delicate piano lines. Expect a sprinkling of dazzling '60s soul alongside some sparkling indiepop charm!
- COLA JET SET
Cola Jet Set are an endearing Elefant Records band all the way from Barcelona with sun-filled Spanish female voices buzzing with a love for bubblegum pop, mod and surf-pop.
- FOXES!
Brighton's Foxes! (look at the grammatical excitement) parade a special brand of toy-town pop with intelligent lyrics and unusual Moogy twists and turns.
- THE CAVALCADE
The Cavalcade are a three piece indie pop band from the rainswept town of Preston making haunting indiepop with a hushed, Housemartins-style breeze.
***THE DANCING***
Post-bands (and 'til late), DJs'll be spinning stuff like The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, Heavenly, Los Campesinos!, Blueboy, The Smiths and The Pastels.
Be there or be square!
