Solid Gold Dragons is the musical vision of Sam Scott, known for his role in Oxford bands Jonquil and formerly Youthmovies. This new project sees Scott, who cites Arthur Russell and Fela Kuti as influences, venturing into a world awash with hazed out synths, disco brass, rolling contra-rhythms and his distinctive baritone vocals.

Plus support...

Pet Moon is the new project from ex-Youthmovies singer Andrew Mears. Drawing inspiration from a myriad of dissperate musical genres Mears creates both haunting and fist pumping avant pop.

The Neon Violets are a heavy, psychedelic drone rock band from Oxford which was formed in 2010 by Joe Chapman (vocals, bass guitar, synth), formally of Spiral 25 and Neil Wimpenny (drums, percussion, vocals). The band recorded their first release The Search in February 2011, which is available to download from their website www.theneonviolets.com
