Now onto it's 14th outing, Backstreets is a semi-regular night of music featuring some of London's best bands and DJs spinning classics. Great music to get drunk to on a Friday night!
FOUR DEAD IN OHIO (London)
Managed by the good people at Fierce Panda, FDIO have already toured with the Duke Spirit, the Raveonettes, Ladytron and the Black Angels, as well as securing a spot at Hyde Park supporting Neil Young.
Influenced by the likes of BRMC and the Brian Jonestown Massacre, psychadelic guitars clash with pounding drums to produce a sonic onslaught that won’t be forgotten quickly.

BLACK DANIEL (London)
Windmill live favourites and with a growing legion of bizarre dancers and celebrity fans (Eddie Argos of Art Brut, Lauren Laverne, Colin Murray), Black Daniel have played th scummiest clubs in New York as well as toured with Kasabian and Bryan Adams (yes you read that right). This is electro-scuzz-garage-rock with dirty bass lines that will get you dancing.

ALPHABET BACKWARDS (Oxford)
Recently signed to Kittiwake Records, Alphabet Backwards have come a long way from their Backstreets debut a couple of years back. This is still the same charming mix of pop to surreal yet intelligent lyrics and they still won’t fail to bring a smile to your face, but this time around they armed with new, bolder, songs.

THE CIRCUS SANDS (Reading)
Champions of the darker side of this life, The Circus Sands are
distorted guitars, sleazy basslines and pulsating drumbeats.
