JESSICA DELFINO & DIRTY FOLK ROCK
The welcome return of New York's outrageous guitar-packing comedian/musician.
"Best Potty-Mouthed, Guitar-Slinging Comedian...The Lower East Side's folkie queen of obscene" The Village Voice, NYC
"A comedy rock star. . . brilliant" - ComedyCentral.com

HOOLIGAN NIGHT
Apocalyptic mix of a punked-out showgirl in acid-bright colours, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, red-blooded Rock n Roll and earth-shattering bass lines, with all star line up including members of Alabama 3 and Stereo MC's.
"All-Star Electro Rockers" Time Out
"Street sassy burlesque bete-noir, mixing psychedelic punk and a contemporary electro skank" Soft Secrets Magazine
"outrageously infectious, genre-bending bass-driven beats held together by killer hooks and Ruby's unmistakable vocal style... weaving vivid tales of the sleazy side of city life, strange love, urban Voodoo, dances with Drag Queens and dream-like trips of the imagination."

THE LANI SINGERS
"Songs of freedom from West Papua"
Hailing from the remote central highland region of West Papua, the Lani Singers perform traditional West Papuan music, with songs rooted in the sacred rituals of the Lani tribes people.
"wonderfully uplifting: joyous South-Sea harmonies sung over lilting chords" TheSmith
"These are their songs of freedom. Merdeka! Freedom!"
