/ / / / ABOUT THE ARTIST

Beki & The Bullets:

A dance floor crashing, pop explosion with a twist of lemon and a shot of Tabasco. Described as 'The Cure meets the Go-Go's, Beki & The Bullets' new single-title track from their EP, 'Wait & See'' (released June 18th) is already earning the band loads of attention across the globe. Creating a buzz in London, having just signed on to be co-managed by Neil Cartwright (who looks after Jamiroquai and former head of New Media @ Sony UK) and invited to appear on two compilations through LA based label 'Filthy Little Angels', Beki & The Bullets are ready to take on the international stage with their sweet candy pop music sensation! www.myspace.com/bekithebullets

Konqistador:

Konqistador deliver unsettling-uncompromising-avant garde-evil-electro-rock, delving in French carnivale, German industrialism, Prussian spoken word, and the history of the Spanish Conquistadores, bridging new worlds with old, seeking the
underground...there are no barriers to the intense diversity of their music and live show. The K-unit just returned from their sold out showcase at the
NXNE Film & Music Festival in Toronto, Canada supported by Australia Council 'International Pathways' and now head to Europe to conquer more territory. www.myspace.com/konqistador

Lillian Thoms:

Striking a balance between the business and the craft, Lillian earned her stripes working for independent label Shock Records and gave rise to Athenas Song, a festival in celebration of Australian women in music showcasing the likes of Monique Brumby and Sally Dastey.  These days, Lillian cant quite imagine life without a guitar in her hand, a few chords and a whole new path before her. And after hearing her album "Hit The Ground" you'll agree she has well and truly found her voice. Catch her live as she delivers her raucous, upbeat indie-rock grooves to the stage. www.myspace.com/lillianthoms

Asleep in the Park

Asleep in the Park are a raucous, upbeat, indie-rock band that have emerged from the cluttered streets of inner Melbourne and are now marching their trademark high-energy harmonies across the city and beyond. An excursion into the phonological loop of self and society, like a baby crawling around a dirty house, listening to Asleep in the Park will leave a wondrous musical stain on your knees, arms and face, unable to be removed by any biologically sound detergent. But why would you want to? Dirt is good! www.myspce.com/asleepinthepark

Gecko Roman Project

GeckoRomanProject is what happened when four Australian musicians (actually, three and a half Australian and a half a Turk) went to Turkey to do some gigs. The music is strongly ryhthmic and richly textured and includes an extensive repertoire of songs traditional, contemproary and original with a twist of reggae, ska, funk, jazz, ciftetelli and dancehall. This is a band that sees no race and is dedicated to brining people of all classes, cultures and creeds together for a great time.
