Gaining the name ‘Remix’ from his unique cut & paste style, you’ll find him playing live mash-ups, switching from beats and breaks, cut up with ‘hands in the air’ indie anthems.

This year Dave is embarking on his twenty10project, making a new release, remix or mashup every week for a year absolutely free check them out at www.daveremix.com or better yet, catch him every Wednesday at 10 Feet Tall as part of BOOM BOOM BOUTIQUE.

THE MISERABLE RICH

NOXAGT

ADELAIDE’S CAPE (solo) 7.30pm — 10pm *early curfew show* £5 entry

ULTRALYD, THE DEATH OF HER MONEY & support 7.30pm — 4AM £6 entry

THE MISERABLE RICH’s name was inspired by an experience they had playing at the wedding of two ultra — rich aristocrats in Rome.

Cellist/pianist William Calderbank and debonair singer/percussionist James de Malplaquet formed the string quintet intending to produce ‘unusual acoustic modern music’.

The decision was also made to steadfastly adhere to a plan of using the cello and violin as the lead instruments, which has undoubtedly allowed them to mould a unique sound.

Their music has been revered by Bearded magazine as ‘pop music that could soundtrack a nursery rhyme created by Tim Burton’, and seduced the well — tuned ears of NME, Drowned in Sound and Q. 2-4-1 cocktails until 10pm

Dangerous dirge blasts out of the tail pipe of Norway’s ghost rider band NOXAGT’s third and self — titled record.

Gone is Nils Erga’s viola that led the chariot races on the last two Noxagt records on Load, replaced by Anders Hana on spring loaded guitar.

Their infectious electronic — pop persuaded FRANKMUSIK to snap them up for support, and saw both ELLIE GOULDING and NOISETTES hire them to remix their most recent singles.

But it’s their own songs that are set for success in 2010 — from the soaring, soulful ‘Wall of Arms’ to the warm, Beloved — like ‘Give Me Chills’, Friends Electric are on a mission to move feet and put personality back into dance music.
