Spitz Presents:
POLAR BEAR
+ ETMO
+ Scary Gotcha DJs
The big haired enfent terrible of modern British jazz, Polar Bear make it the luckiest night of the year for anyone with the good taste to watch this magnificent band. A lethal dose of raw hypnotic grooves far-out spontaneity.
Laptop, sax and ethnic flutes, Etmo calls his musical exploration Ka 'lei ' (as in kaleidoscope). Etmo performs with DJ Sio B 'baas and percussionist Jon Tubmen.
"Polar Bear blast out of the past, full of straight, cool school skills, and detonate the past, bursting with edgy, forward-looking lust."

Plan B Magazine Presents:
OXBOW DUO
+ Duracell
+ ZX Spectrum Orchestra
Oxbow Duo - Eugene Robinson and Niko Wenner, the singer/lyricist and songwriter/architect of Oxbow 's mean mania, make the making of Oxbow music a thing of rarefied beauty using little more than the rudiments of guitar and voice for the non-electrical rendering of a terror no less absolute because of a lack of volume. Fans of Lightning Bolt will love Andre Duracell, from Lyon - a one man 8-bit drum-trigger frenzy. D igitised voices and crunching beats from ZX Spectrum Orchestra. A soft centered selection of bleeps, melodies and poll-axe beats so galvanized it 's a wonder the Spectrum 's made it out alive. Who needs PS3?
