Golden Diskó Ship
When Berlin based musician Theresa Stroetges announced that she wanted to do a brief UK tour there was no shortage of takers - and some venues even booked her twice! In the guise of Golden Disko Ship, Theresa “crafts dinkily drawn sweetly sensitive shy eyed cascading collages of irresistibly beguiling strange pop, combining a disarming hybrid of lucid folk motifs bleached, torn and interspersed with ether emerging electronic transmissions and hiccupping time signatures that impart a feeling on more than one occasion of being afloat some chemically enhanced dream like boat trip”(Losing Today)…phew!
She combines a mass of instruments and found objects (guitars, viola, glockenspiel, sticky tape, compact disc cases, toys…) together with perfectly crafted laptop electronica to form a world of beautiful, original and individual music - “…dreamy, experimental folk electronica that sounds like walking on the beach with the sun in your eyes." Which is exactly how those people who attended last month’s Goldmund Festival remember her.
Her live show brings together the fragile beauty of her recordings, combined with a complete understanding of avant-garde pop as you would expect from her list of influences: Coco Rosie, Múm, Cat Power, Four Tet, Scout Niblett… It also gives Theresa the chance to reunite her music and lovingly produced video pieces to stunning effect.
There are two EP releases available to purchase with a third on it’s way. We think ‘Bumblebee Behind a Tree’ (Forest of Sound – 2007) is outstanding and those lucky enough to have heard/owned ‘There’s a Choas’ (2006) will surely want to add the latest release to their collection.
Theresa has toured extensively throughout Germany and Iceland where she has many fans. Her stage persona was names after a golden ship found rotting around Reykjavik harbour.
See her at the Saki Bar, Rusholme, Manchester. 16/09/07

Denis Jones
All you really need to know about Denis is that he’s brilliant. ‘Nuff said, so just turn up at the Saki Bar on Sunday!
But if you don’t believe us have a listen to some of his myspace tracks while you read some words of praise from various sources:-
"A potentially towering talent." – Manchestermusic.com
“simply one of the most exciting, engaging, inventive and purely entertaining performers you will see this year or next....." - Humble Soul
“Unassuming genius in action” -
www.oppositiont.co.uk
“At grass roots though this is a beautiful, heartfelt acoustic offering with vocals that contain an urgency and sincerity that are utterly compelling." – XFM Online
“His performances are utterly engaging” – Music week Magazine
“set to have A&R hounds frothing at the mouth” – Piccadilly Records
“a stripped-down male version of a Coco Rosie” – Warp Records
Denis is one of those new generation of artists that uses electronic gizmos to create a soundtrack of loops, bleeps and beats to complement his warm soulful voice and mellow acoustic guitar. This IS Folktronica.
“Don’t Move Play Dead”
This duo from Luton throb out experimental electronica sounds that are like the old BBC Radiophonic Workshop messing around with signals from out of space. An alchemy of mesmeric sound contamination, delicate electronic lacerations with glimpsed melodies
****CATS IN PARIS WILL PLAY OUR NEXT PROMOTION IN OCTOBER****
