ROSE MELBERG THE GENTLE GOOD & KELLARISSA & IVAN MOULT

ROSE MELBERG grew up in Sacramento, but her musical career was honed in the burgeoning indie pop/punk scene of Olympia, Washington. It all began, in 1992 with Tiger Trap, a seminal velvet pop-punk that burned too fast and the group disbanded after two tours. Rose then formed The Softies with Jen Sbragia. Two guitars with two angelic voices, a handful of singles on K Records and Slumberland Records and 3 full length albums were recorded from 1994-2001.

In addition to her work with Tiger Trap and The Softies, Rose also played with Go Sailor and Gaze, and has recorded 3 solo albums since 1998. Now living in Vancouver, British Columbia with her son, Rose rejoined the K team in September 09 with her latest album Homemade Ship.

CURTIS ELLER

CHRIS HICKS / CHRIS SUMMERILL / FRANCESCA’S WORD SALAD CURTIS ELLER is New York’s angrist yodelling banjo player. He sings about pigeon racing, performing elephants and Jesus, all of which he has seen with his own eyes.

He started his show-business career at the age of 7 as a juggler and acrobat in the Hiller Olde Tyme Circus in Detroit, but has since turned to the banjo because that’s where the money is. On the latest American Circus CD ‘Wirewalkers & Assassins’, Mr Eller presents 10 songs about John Wilkes Booth, Joe Louis, Jack Ruby, Fidel Castro, Richard Nixon and the Hartford circus fire of 1944. Sporadic yodelling and some strong language should be expected.

AT YOUR OWN RISK PRESENTS

RAT ATTACK

DIE! CHIHUAHUA DIE! / THE DOUBLECROSS RAT ATTACK came out swinging last year with their debut record ‘This is Art’ on the wellrespected punk & hardcore label LOCKJAW RECORDS. The name ‘This is Art’ comes from the band’s confusion surrounding the modern interpretation of art, believing that if an unmade bed in the middle of a destroyed room can warrant the most prestigious awards in the art world then this visceral example of angry nihilistic punk must also be art as well.

Looking further than the modern trend of full-paced hardcore punk, Rat Attack seek the spirit of band such as GALLOWS and THE BRONX to create a sound incorporating contrasting melody and rhythm to create instantly recognisable aggressive rock’n’roll swagger.

Having supported acts like H2O, Madball, Crime in Stereo and the Computers, Rat Attack have more than paid their dues, gaining an acclaimed Radio 1 Session with punk taskmaster MIKE DAVIES. MON 29TH MARCH

TEENAGERS IN TOKYO formed nearly a decade ago in a high school in Sydney over a mutual love of Daft Punk.

A decade later, having relocated to the UK, the band’s influences have twisted into something very different. Now closer to the dark 80’s Synth- pop of classic CURE RECORDS than the legendary French House

producers. They impressed the likes of CSS, THE GOSSIP and THE SLITS enough to have been invited on tour with them. The band have also won over new fans in THE HORRORS, who have remixed their latest single into a Gary Numan-style electro, attracting huge NME support.

HAITI CHARITY ALL DAYERS The HAITI ALLDAYERS are 2 festivals running at Buffalo over two Sundays in March. The will be featuring the cream of Cardiff’s music scene who are kindly donating their time to raise money for the Haiti Fund - a charity that has supported the poorest in Haiti since 1996. Following the Haiti earthquake the fund’s work is more important than ever.

We hope that you will be able to attend these special events and dig deep into your pockets for this cause. We spoke to the organiser of these events - Glyn Mills - to find out more about the charity.

Hi Glyn, what is your involvement with the charity?

I have been part of The Haiti Fund for over a decade. In that time we have worked in the North part of Haiti, with the principle aim of using education to help the young.

The Fund’s work has encouraged the development of appropriate and innovative learning techniques in a country where schools are severely underfunded and teaching techniques often inadequate.

The thought being: “give a person a fish you feed them for a day. Teach them to fish they survive for a lifetime.”

the Haiti Fund sent groups of teachers to work in the country to help develop the skills necessary for their needs. In addition, Lottery funding stimulated the production of six original textbooks on themes of relevance to Haitian lives to be distributed freely in Haitian schools. The charity also has cultural links with the country - tell us a little the artists who have worked with the charity.

BUFFALO The Haiti Fund also arranges talks, conferences and exhibitions of Haitian artists work in the UK which is sold to support our initiatives. A few years ago two Cardiff musicians - Christopher Rees and Steve Garrett - were invited to go over where they recorded the native drumming that Haiti is renowned for.

The result is a CD being sold, the entire proceeds of which is going toward the Haiti

The CD’s release is March 1st at shows or can be ordered direct from www.redeyemusic. co.uk (Christopher Rees will be playing at 10 Feet Tall on Monday 5th April for anyone interested in purchasing a CD – Ed) What are the plans for the money raised at the South Wales live music events?

The aims of the charity will in the long-term remain the same, which is the development of skills for self help and to eventually build a school of excellence in the region. For now though it is also obvious that immediate help is needed, so with this in mind monies from the charity shows will be going towards The Haiti Fund and Medecins Sans Frontieres, who you can also support by visiting: www.msf.org.uk/ supportus.aspx

fergie At the forefront of electronic music, consistently breaking down underground barriers for over a decade Fergie has become a global representative for the Discerning clubber, bringing new music to the people without compromise.

At the forefront of electronic music, consistently breaking down underground barriers for over a decade, Fergie has become a global representative for the discerning clubber, bringing new music to the people without compromise.*** From his beginnings in the Northern Irish Rave scene Fergie got his first glimpse of DJ legends such as Carl Cox, Pablo Gargano and his mentor Tony De Vit. Attracted to the hard energy of De Vit’s pioneering style of Hard Dance, Fergie soon started to release the style of bouncy yet tough house that was a trademark of the Notorious Tidy Trax Label. (earning him feature after Feature for dance music Bible Mixmag) Never one to stagnate, Fergie began to branch away from the labels style of production, leading the scene with a regressive Techno influenced style.

He caught the attention

of Radio 1, leading him a coverted slot as one of their weekend Dance music specialists. At just 21 Fergie was playing the world’s biggest stages.

From the Miami winter music conference to Berlin’s renowned Love Parade, using this platform to champion the underground, promoting the minimal techno sound that has now become a staple of the worldwide electronic scene.

Achieving so many goals in such a small time, proving himself to be an innovator and one of Britain’s most Prolific DJs, Fergie took a step back into the studio for the last 5 years as both a producer and now the owner of his very own Label “Excentric Muzik” With 2008 seeing the Label move from strength to strength and his career coming full circle with one of his original Hero’s Carl Cox declaring Excentric Muzik as his “label of the year”.

Fergie worked with the likes Of Umek , Slam and James Lavelles Unkle Project.

Confirming his commitment to the next wave of talent Fergie started his own Agency putting together parties around the world and showing what his fresh roster of DJ’s had to offer. It’s this passion and investment that makes Fergie not just one of the scene’s greats, but a major power player in the industry today.

He has never forgotten that it’s still just a rave, a place where people are trying to escape the realities of urban life each and every weekend. A proven forward thinker, a trendsetter, Fergie has become a master of evolving his sound to keep one step ahead of the rest.

Constantly developing and never standing still…

- for Fergie this is away of life.
