“Panda Power takes over The Social once a month. More of an artbeat gathering than a big rave-up, it's a place where London's cool kids can hang-out and vibe off some decent indie rock.” (Spoonfed).

“The ‘Oxford Circus Circus’ is a heady combination of positivity, art, party people, photography, media, industry and cake! The club where the artists are often regulars and vice versa, is the West End’s affordable rock n roll get together.” (Qype).

The Winter Olympics
"Will make you want to jump up and down" (Sunday People). Inspired by the DIY dignity of Dischord, the daft funk of DFA and the non-ironic, no-nonsense stadium-slaying standards of Def Leppard, they are not like the other bands right now. "In the grand tradition of Blur... reminiscent of a beachside rave" (Word magazine). BBC Radio 6Music are among those already giving them the thumbs up. Come and see why. http://www.facebook.com/winterolympicsband

Where’s Strutter
Potential oozes from every pore. “Definately keep an eye on Manchester's Where's Strutter?" (NME.com), Where’s Strutter? bring the chaos of their everyday lives to the stage with raw, energetic and engaging performances. They hit the ground running and became the first unsigned band to headline Manchester’s Club Academy, Academy 3 and Academy 2 in under a year. The entire audience had come to see them and be entertained with a set of instantly catchy tunes." "...Strutter were like jesus with boobs!!!" (The Fly Magazine). They take on the idea of never changing themselves just for music’s fashion interests, and stick to what they love. This has lead to their national fan base swelling constantly, and anxiously awaiting a debut release. http://facebook.com/wheresstrutter

GST Cardinals
Melody driven punk. “They have the tunes, they have the looks, and they all seal it together with their amazing on-stage chemistry and off-stage baby faced smiles.” (God Is In The TV). .Snarling, charisma, synergetic energy and obsession. They’ll sleep in their van to tour. “The most promising young band I’ve seen live for a very long time" (UK Bands.net). They’ve kicked and screamed their way round UK , Europe and USA where they picked up a label deal. The last few months have mixed drama, tears, positivity and hope. They poured this into song writing and are now poised to make good on their early promise with a summer release. http://facebook.com/gstcardinals

Alphabet Backwards

An Oxford quintet with a simple ethos; to champion the noble art of pop music, dancing all the way. Their sound is infectious, summery, joyous, happy-go-lucky affair, punctuated with an irresistible synth buzz and hooks aplenty to put big smiles on your face. Catch their London show the day after they release the White Russian EP. http://www.facebook.com/alphabackwards

Kalamity Kate

This multi talented DJ, MC, comedian and singer songwriter, purveys a risqué, biting prose that makes you chuckle out loud. Like all the best satire, we’re laughing because it’s true. The songs are short sharp stabs of punky poetic delight and with each one, the applause grows as more people listen out for what she is saying. Kalamity Kate is a blistering blossoming talent that is not necessarily recommended for children’s parties. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kj-i-ZxnF8k

Jason James

A genuine star of pop. and a regular face at Panda~Power! and was a sensation when he made a live appearance (with a music fan comparing his instant, catchy music and live presence to “a male Gaga”. Exciting things have been happening over the last few months as a result of Jason’s new material. Do not miss this show. Utterly fabulous. Don’t take any words for granted. New tunes and latest news on Jason James at http://www.facebook.com/Json.Ken.Doll.James

City Showcase; Spotlight London

3rd -7th May. Free entry /discounts to tipped shows, workshops, in stores, industry parties and more from the not-for-profit festival of talent that is the UK’s most successful scouting outing. £8 http://cityshowcase.co.uk
