UNDERCOVER HIPPY
Billy Rowan, a.k.a. The Undercover Hippy, releases his new single Boyfriend. A single guaranteed to wake you out of a winter slumber and put a wry smile on your face for the Spring.
The Undercover Hippy is definitely not your average singer songwriter. His music brings together acoustic guitar, soulful vocals, infectious reggae rhythms, and the lyrical delivery of a skilled mc. After 7 years spent DJ'ing and MC'ing on the Drum & Bass circuit, Billy swapped the decks for a guitar and started out as a solo act. He now plays with a full 5 piece band, mixing guitar, keys, drums, bass, congas and backing vocals to create a high energy, interactive and highly entertaining live show. Combining intelligent, amusing, and often politically charged lyrics with dangerously catchy hooks and a feel good groove, this is music for the thinking man to shake his arse to. Think Jason Mraz meets The Cat Empire...on a protest march...at the Edinburgh Fringe.
His amazing vocal delivery captured live promoters attention, resulting in Billy and his band performing at some of the

THE PERMANENT SMILERS
The Permanent Smilers release their new single Identity Crisis in March.
It’s a pre cursor to the new album One Real Big Identity Crisis, thirteen brand new songs which have been in production for two years. An album doffing it’s cap to many musical genres, but with that familiar Permanent Smilers tunefulness and unpredictability threading through.
Recorded at The Mill studios in
Frontman Richard was the songwriter behind The Lemongrowers, who released two albums on the
The bands influences include The Stranglers, The Doors and such like, but also the other end of the musical spectrum with Abba!
Catchy melodies are the order of the day for The Permanent Smilers. Whether you like it or not, these things once they are in your system, stay with you.
Not a band to use technology for the sake of it, The Permanent Smilers used to use a smoke machine during gigs. Of course, this needed testing out regularly at rehearsals and on one occasion led to The Waterfront venue in
| Little Lapin Remember The Highs 9 February 2015 | |
| UK singer-songwriter Little Lapin has been making her mark on audiences all over the world, from New Zealand where she was based for five years, to New York where she recently performed the last leg of her acoustic tour. Waiting Room, taken from Little Lapins 2013 debut eponymous EP, was featured on BBC Radio 6 Music's Introducing Mixtape Show with Tom Robinson, and her sound was described by Tom's team of music bloggers at Fresh on the Net as a A Pretenders for the 21st Century. Her highly anticipated follow-up album due to be released next year promises to deliver more of her infectious indie pop gems. Celebrated New Zealand producer, and ex member of Goldenhorse, Ben King guests on all of Little Lapins forthcoming tracks including Remember The Highs. In addition to performing, he also arranged the electric guitar and synth parts. We bumped into Little Lapins lovely Waiting Room on a recent Fresh Faves & I was instantly taken by this stadium filling indie song with its gorgeous vocals, buzzing strings & larger than life melodic disposition, the echoes of The Pretenders were just too much for a boy to handle when it landed in our dropbox. Fresh on the Net - John Casson, Sept 2013 "Little Lapin has a voice that sits nicely between Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Prentenders Crissy Hynde. Listen if you like: Slow Club, French For Rabbits, Beach House or Summer Camp." Notes For a Road Sign Blog The musical variety is what really sets Lapin apart from her peers. There's a willingness to apply herself to different genres here, and she rarely sounds uncomfortable during any of her performance. Like I said, the girls confident, and I have no doubt this won't be the last we've heard of Little Lapin. The Equal Ground, July 2013 Little Lapins compositions are an intriguing game of hide and seek, with elements often surprising each other from around unexpected corners. Her voice hops smoothly from note to note while melodies flow cleanly underfoot, infused with a gentle retro-pop. Catchy hooks draw us into a world of 'Silent Tears' and 'Friendship on Fire', her talent for emotive storytelling irresistible in its universality.
