BABYHEAD

http://www.facebook.com/pages/babyhead/101985756012

Born out of love for Jamacian sound clash, forged through a do it yourself punkrock ethic and delivered with a raw hip hop swagger, the unstoppable Babyhead sound is drawn from all quarters of the musical universe, in true Bristol fashion. They have been a live phenomenon in the clubs and on the festival circuit, for a decade plus, rocking stages from Glastonbury to Fabric and attracting onstage collaborations from Ozomatli, Rodney P, Alice Russell, scores of children, transvestites and a three legged one eyed dog.

The five piece are striping back their music, fusing dub, technology and their renowned brand of showmanship to create a deeper, heavier sound whilst maintaining their exuberant penchant for exhilarating live performance.

Keith Allen called them"bastard child of Ian Dury and Iggy pop" while the legendary Toots Hibbert himself proclaimed the band"Irie, despite their beards and suits".

RESONATORS

http://www.facebook.com/resonators

Nine-piece Brighton/London based band, Resonators, have firmly established themselves on the dub reggae scene, finding a unique and distinct sound. Rooted in 60/70s reggae, Resonators embrace diverse influences, making their music relevant in todays Bass Music culture and reminding us of reggae s uplifting influence on the dance floor.

'Brighton institution Resonators stand out from the current glut of tame British rootsy reggae bands well worth checking out' http://www.lostateminor.com

Inspired by the meditative quality and universal appeal of Jamaican roots music the band radiate a playful and unified stage presence. The two lead singers Kassia Zermon and Faye

Houston wipe away the notion of the big-ego front man whilst Darren JamTone provides live dub effects, and the balance is set.

Following its release in 2010, Resonators eponymous debut album gained worldwide and national radio support on BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music and Kiss FM from the likes of Mark

Lamarr, David Rodigan and Craig Charles.

' elements are truly beautiful and haunting. In these days of homogenised, digital recordings lacking in any individual sound or identity it is most encouraging to hear something so truly original most refreshing'. David Rodigan MBE

Since then Resonators teamed up with London label Wah Wah 45s, releasing three heavyweight 7" singles, Sweet Love Affair, Gold Getter and Surrender, receiving international radio play and widespread acclaim.

2011 saw the band play at legendary venues including Brixton Academy, Koko, Jazz Cafe and at top UK and European festivals including Glastonbury, Green Man and Outlook Croatia.
