Hyde and Beast

(10.45pm)

Hyde is Dave Hyde (Futureheads drummer) and Beast is Neil Bassett (ex-Golden Virgins drummer). Hyde and Beast record an album. Hyde sing well. Album sound good. Beast happy.’ When playing live, Hyde and Beast are likely to become a six-person entity. The album, entitled “Slow down”, is a sprawling, gentle psychedelic mess and is due to be released on Tail Feather Records in May 2011.

Ajimal

(10.00-10.30pm)

With a name inspired by a Haitian witchdoctor, Ajimal is the new solo project for Fran O’Hanlon. In his own words it is an ‘in-ear-experiment’ with ‘the aim being to write about the way music and medicine and art and ideas and literature and science and stories and hallucinations and everything combine and interplay’. With expressive vocal melodies, singing bowls, serene piano and electric guitar lines, expect some in-ear delights.

Mausi

(9.15-9.45pm)

Part English, part Italian, Mausi is fronted by Milan born siblings, Daisy and Thomas Finetto. Mausi blend infectious melodies with stunning entwined harmonies to create their own unique slice of alternative-pop. Inspired by the likes of Phoenix and The Naked and Famous, Mausi mix danceable rhythms with modest guitar parts and catchy boy-girl choruses, all laced with colourful pop-synths.
