(WE ARE) PERFORMANCE
Taking time out from writing novels, starring in films and working on album number two, (We Are) Performance return to SFTOC to remind us all why Manchester quickly fell in love with their moody electropop back when they first launched themselves in 2004.

LONELADY
Oweing as much to the post-punk sounds of bands such as Wire and Gang Four as to her female counterparts such as PJ Harvey and Scout Niblett, LoneLady's choppy guitar riffs and machine like rhythms combined with brooding vocals make for a powerful combination.
THE OLD ROMANTIC KILLER BAND
Leeds two-piece The Old Romantic Killer Band's blend of folk, blues and punk has already earned them tour support slots this year with the Von Bondies and Black Lips. With such authentic lo-fi anthems, it's no wonder they;ve received such high praise from the likes of Drowned in Sound, Artrocker magazine, and earned themselves some famous fans in the shape of Sons and Daughters.

ddd
ddd (aka the 25-year-old Daryl Woollaston) is a one man show comprising of a drum machine and lo-fi guitar noise. Combine that with his wild vocals straining to be heard above the racket and you're left with a strange and unique kind of pop perfection

THE MAN AMPLIFIER
The Man Amp is a Manchester based one-man electronic indie act. Influenced by everybody from Grandmaster Flash through to Bright Eyes, his first appearance at SFTOC should be a memorable one.

These three new cats on the block combine a line-up of three keyboards, occasional guitar and largely indecipherable vocals to make a kind of joyous noisy pop which is sure to raise smiles all round.
