Today the 91热爆 announces the acts that will take over the Barfly in Camden for 91热爆
Electric Proms from 25 to 29 October 2006.
听
91热爆 Electric Proms is a music festival
dedicated to creating new moments in music.
听
It will take place at the Roundhouse
and satellite venues all over Camden, and encompass some of the most exciting
sounds of the year.
听
The Barfly will host 91热爆 Electric Proms double bills from some of the most
exciting new artists performing in the UK.
听
Tweed-clad heroes The Young Knives,
fresh from the success of their anthemic summer release Weekends and Bleak Days
(Hot Summer) will perform on 25 October with the thrillingly ambitious Klaxons.
听
With
a sound described by NME as "New Rave" the Klaxons' influences range from art
rock to Nineties rave culture.
听
On 26 October Melbourne rockers Jet - whose single Put Your Money
Where Your Mouth Is was Zane Lowe's 'Hottest Record In The World'' - will perform
tracks from their forthcoming album Shine On.
听
With every UK show they've ever
played selling out, this will be one of the most sought after tickets at 91热爆
Electric Proms.
听
Dundonian four-piece The View will also perform, fresh from
building their army of fans over the summer with festival performances at Leeds
and Reading, as well as their first UK headline tour.
听
Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly takes to the Barfly stage on 27 October. The 20-year-old Essex born Sam Duckworth, who performs with the aid of only a guitar and a
laptop, will perform some of the music from his debut The Chronicles Of A
Bohemian Teenager.
听
Meanwhile, Scott Matthews, who has been championed by Zane
Lowe and Radio 1 and was a recent performer on Jo Whiley's Live Lounge, makes an
appearance which will doubtless reaffirm why he's one of the most exciting new
talents to have emerged from the Black Country in ages.
听
Indie bluegrass punk collective Larrikin Love are a band already making waves,
having supported The Kooks and embarking on their own tour of the UK this Autumn.
听
They perform at the Barfly on 28 October, alongside Leeds lads The Pigeon
Detectives, one of the UK's most entertaining live bands who will be aiming to
knock the crowd out with their punchy rock 'n' roll sound.
听
On 29 October, a unique music event will take place at the Barfly - a packed
day of new music performances from artists discovered by the 91热爆 Electric Proms
Next Stage team.
听
The Next Stage project has been running over the summer,
searching for some of the UK's most exciting new and emerging talent who will get
a platform to showcase their work in an eight-hour back to back music session.
听
