The Townhouses

Islands can be downloaded for free at http://www.mediafire.com/?yygdjwwzayy In the winter/spring of 2009, the Townhouses released four ambient/instrumental EPs, with the third (The Lost Kagu) released through Perth based label Owls Records. ‘Islands’, the Townhouses’ debut album, is derived from some 60-something demos and is largely the result of Leigh’s interest in ethnomusicology. The Townhouses are more recently largely influenced by gamelan, African, electronic, experimental and ambient music – resulting in a collage of different tonalities and polyphonic textures...

The Smoking Hearts

Graceful is definitely not a word to describe The Smoking Hearts. Live shows have seen guitar headstocks smashed and drum kits sprawled across stages. It is not uncommon to find half the band on the floor with the crowd and, on occasion, half the crowd on stage with the band. In their short career as a band, The Smoking Hearts have travelled thousands of miles, opening shows for the likes of Gallows, Bring Me The Horizon, Winnebago Deal and The Supersuckers, as well as some iconic acts such as Misfits and Skid Row.

The Warm Jets

Formed in 1995 by Louis Jones (vox/guitars), Paul Noble (guitar/keyboards) and Craig 'Ed' Grimshaw (drums/keyboards) 'The Warm Jets' were a post-Britpop indie rock band. The band's debut (and only) album 'Future Signs' was released to critical acclaim in 1998. Despite scoring two modest Top 40 hits ('Hurricane' and 'Never Never') the band were dropped by Island Records and disbanded shortly afterwards with little fanfare.

San Cisco

San Cisco are from Fremantle in sunny Western Australia. On the weekends they love to go skateboarding, play Nintendo 64 and make a bit of indie pop on the side. Scarlett bangs the drums, Jennifer plays the electric bass, Jordi & Josh are the guys that play the guitars, write the songs and sing them.

San Cisco have spent the last year graduating high school, performing at some festivals and playing round town pretty much every weekend. They have also produced their first EP called Golden Revolver, which is set for release early 2011. Confident with stage presence & strong with vocals, San Cisco's upbeat summer pop continues to impress.

Jordi says: "San Cisco is a place situated between reality & a dream state. It is kind of like a huge cauldron we put all our creative input into, mix it together to make a super explosion of fantastic, wild creations. This is San Cisco."
