Neon Heart

Put away the Laptop, There’s no computer music here! Neon Heart are a five-piece, award-winning, guitar based, original rock band from Sydney. Their point of difference is their stage show; they engage with the audience, aren’t afraid to take chances, and make every gig memorable. It’s hard to be unique when you’re a guitar based rock band in Sydney; it seems every band has the same cookie cutter approach. But Neon Heart have figured out how to break away from the pack with their energetic performances and powerful song writing.

Portishead

Portishead are a band from Bristol, United Kingdom, named after a small coastal town twelve miles west of said musical hotbed, in North Somerset. They were initially known for their use of jazz samples and some hip-hop beats along with various synth sounds and the hauntingly beautiful vocals of singer Beth Gibbons. Their current sound drops the samples in favour of a harder, more abrasive edge, but retains Gibbons' vocals.

Tricky

Adrian Thaws (born January 27, 1968), better known as Tricky, is a rapper and musician from England who is important in the trip-hop scene (despite loathing the tag) and remains influential on the british scene more generally. He is noted for an asthmatic whispering lyrical style that is half-rapped, half-sung. As a producer and a musician he is known for having an aversion to perfection preferring to build up a dark, rich and layered sound. Culturally, Tricky bridges white and black Britain particularly in his fusion of rock and hip-hop, high art and pop culture.
