Adored by legions of critics & fans alike Jose relies simply on his eloquent classical guitar and a mature, assured voice to create an inimitable sonic world with an irresistible allure think Nick Drake & Tim Buckley. Lo-fi folk doesn't get any more exotic. Born and raised in Gothenburg to Argentinian parents, "Gonzalez grew up listening to bossa nova and Joy Division, and deftly picks at his classical guitar with a flamenco flourish"Q

The Swedish singer-songwriter marries "Nick Drake's mournful minimalism to deftly picked, Latino guitar. The results melodic purity, a mesmeric rhythmic drive and stark emotionalism are extraordinary." UNCUT

Singer/comic book artist, born and bred on New York's Lower East Side, Jeff Lewis has been knocking out songs full of self-deprecation, honesty, sadness, humour and truth for over a decade now. Along the way he has collaborated with anti-folk heroine Kimya Dawson (Moldy Peaches) and toured with Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), the Fall, Herman Dune and Devendra Banhart. 2007’s 12 Crass Songs breathed new life into the some of punk’s finest moments, and Lewis was propelled justifiably further into the limelight.

Lets cut to the chase, to the present, to the bone. THE HUNGRY SAW - the first Tindersticks album in five years - finds the newly stripped-down band sounding not only hungry but lean and thrilled again. The grand melancholy and gentle humour are still abundantly present, but there’s a renewed energy, an appetite for spontaneity. Combine that with the fact that this is the last date to be added to a fine string of UK shows this year, with only one festival appearance at End Of The Road in September and two Northern shows in October we really are muchos pleased. With a enigmatic career that spans 7 albums and 20 years, and a troop of dedicated followers and fans these tickets will not be on the shelf for long.

Wildbird and Peacedrums are married couple Mariam and Andreas Werliin, who met in 2004 at Gothenburg’s Academy of Music and Drama. Their provocative, freewheeling approach to the sparse and beautiful boldly reverberates a naturally imaginative pairing via the most simplistic of arrangements. She sings, he drums. After a truly inspirational performance at this year’s Great Escape Festival we’re so pleased to be hosting their Brighton headline debut.

Singer, composer, poet, video artist: Cibelle is chameleon-like in her ability to change her music's subtle directions. Merging samba sounds of the fifties and sixties with bossa nova, traditional Brazilian down-tempo and modern electronic trickery, her blend of acoustic guitars, percussion, electric bass, analog keyboards and digital mathematics is definitely mellow but never bland. And with such a uber sexy crystal-like voice , sung in equal parts Portuguese as English, are we really that surprised?

Lykke Li’s debut performances in London left packed audiences pleasantly shell-shocked. A master of subtle delivery, leftfield arrangements, a lovelorn melody, and minimalist brilliance, there's sticking power coursing through her veins. Through the layered, multi-instrumental flavour of her music - you’ll hear harpsichords, flutes, and theremins - there’s a perfect balance of city and suburb that pours from the organic, digital feel of her songs and her sumptuously fragile yet jarringly brutal lyricism tells tales of her extraordinary life. Produced by Bjorn Yttling, of Peter, Bjorn and John fame, Lykke Li is yet another reason why Moshi Moshi are so dam consistent.

Released on Air’s Record Makers imprint and produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk, Sebastien Tellier’s latest album Sexuality draws on all the key elements of the 90’s new wave of Parisian acts that initially drew attention to the capital city’s now infamous slick and super sexy approach to pop. Pumped full of a suave arrogance that is only applicable to those from France’s principal city, Tellier also embodies an element of humour and showmanship that avoids his contemporaries, shown by his appearance at this year’s Eurovision. Tellier drove out on stage in a golf buggy flanked by bearded ladies to perform Divine, lead single from Sexuality. You can’t expect golf buggies at this show, but rest assured it will be an extravagant performance of the highest order.

Mercury Rev were formed in Buffalo, New York in the late 1980's. In the two decades since they have never ceased to amaze with their shimmering cinematic explorations into musical mystery and wonder. Mixing intricate melodies, dreamy poetic lyrics and meandering, open-ended arrangements with Jonathan Donahue's irreplaceable voice they first caught the main stream in 1997 with the critically acclaimed masterpiece Deserter's Songs.
2008 sees them release two new albums, one available as a free download and one for sale. This is an amazing opportunity to catch one of world's finest rock bands outside of big city venues, please buy early to avoid disappointment.
'Their songs celebrate the irrational, the domain of feelings beyond words.'
