Temples are an English psychedelic rock band,
formed in Kettering, Northamptonshire in 2012, by singer-guitarist James Edward
Bagshaw and bassist Thomas Edison Warmsley. They have received considerable
press attention during their short existence and have been cited by Johnny Marr
and Noel Gallagher as one of the best new bands in Britain.
The band was initially formed as
a home studio project in mid 2012. The duo had previously worked together in
The Moons, with Bagshaw also having co-fronted another earlier Kettering band
Sukie who formed in 2006 and charted at No 1 in the UK Indie Chart with their
debut single "Pink-A-Pade". Sukie were featured in the fanzine
"Siren", edited and created by Warmsley to documents Kettering's
music scene.
The duo uploaded four self
produced tracks to YouTube which caught the attention of Heavenly Recordings
founder Jeff Barrett who agreed to release the band's debut single in the form
of "Shelter Song" in November 2012. They then enlisted fellow
Kettering residents drummer Sam Toms (Secret Fix and ex-Koolaid Electric
Company) and keyboard player Adam Smith and started rehearsing as band to be
able to play their songs live, having never played live as a band before. The
band released their second single "Colours To Life" in June 2013.
Having played major UK and
European festival and supported the likes of Suede, Mystery Jets, Kasabian and
The Vaccines alongside select headline dates, the band announced their first
headline UK tour to take place in October 2013. In November 2013, Temples
announced their debut album, Sun Structures, to be released on 10
February 2014.

Goat is a blues/rock/other band based out of Chico, CA,
consisting of Lowell Thomas, Josh Andrews, and Zach Sorenson. After several
years of sporadic jamming, Lowell and Josh began ironing out a set-list of both
original and cover material in hopes of eventually forming a stable group.
Stability was found with the addition of Zach on drums, who would complete the
trio in February of 2010. In September of 2011, Goat released their first
self-titled album “Goat” and then in Dec2013 they released their 2nd
album titled “Breakthrough”.
Named “Best
Emerging Band” by Monday Magazine at the 2012 M Awards, declared 1 of 4 Acts to
Watch in 2013 by the Times-Colonist and already having shared billing with
Great Lake Swimmers and The British Columbians, Man Made Lake is not only a
rock band but also a brotherhood. This group works together to make innovative,
intriguing, dynamic alt rock music. The group consists of seven chaps led by
frontman Colin Craveiro. The beauty of Man Made Lake is in the diversity: the
diversity of influence and the diversity of personalities, leading to the
diversity of sound. They are a band that strives to never make the same song
twice, yet they always stay true to their ethos of imaginative music. The fact that
there are seven guys in the band would seem like a detriment to many but they
harness the varying ideologies and influences of each member to carefully craft
their music. Whether it’s the 80’s rock of guitarist John Flatman, the modern
indie synth-wash of keyboardist Brent Gosse, the heavy rock of drummer Morgan
Hradecky, the classical to downright funky fresh sounds of pianist Nate Bailey,
the stalwart pulse of bassist Riley Smith, or the subtle slides and soaring
solos of guitarist Steve Parker, they all come together to combine with
Craveiro’s intense and multi-faceted vocal stylings to create the monster that
is Man Made Lake. This is an original Canadian rock act which thrives in the
live setting and leaves audiences wanting more.

In 2001, a girl walks into a bar…
Her name is Deb Talan. She’s an up and coming
singer/songwriter who has garnered tremendousword-of-mouth support and critical praise for her debut CD,
Something Burning. Boston’s legendary music venue Club Passim has become her
performing-home, but tonight she’s there to check out a new songwriter she’s
been obsessing over, a musician from New York City named Steve Tannen. She’s
been listening to his debut CD, Big Señorita, non-stop for about a month.
Guy walks into a
bar…
His name is Steve
Tannen. He’s at Club Passim in Boston to play a show supporting his debut
release, Big Señorita. He’s been playing rock and roll in NYC dive bars for a
couple of years, but since the release of his solo CD he’s garnered tremendous
word-of-mouth support and critical praise. He’s nervous because Boston is a new
town for him, but he’s even more nervous once he looks out at the crowded room
and recognizes the pretty young woman down front as singer/songwriter Deb
Talan. In a word, he’s intimidated; he’s been obsessing over her debut CD,
Something Burning, non-stop for about a month.
Deb Talan and
Steve Tannen began writing together the night they first met and soon formed
THE WEEPIES. “We were fans of each other. When we met, there was an electric
connection that made us both nervous. After the show, when everyone went home,
we stayed up all night playing songs for each other, drinking a bottle of wine
and trading an acoustic guitar back and forth in a tiny apartment,” says Talan.
"That night has lasted ten years so far," adds Tannen.
A breath of fresh
air for fans of songwriters, The Weepies features two unique voices and one
unforgettable sound. With a self-released debut and three CDs on Nettwerk
Records, the duo has become an indie success story, each release ranking among
the top 10 digitally downloaded in the US. After a three year touring hiatus –
during which time they got married, had two children and made two records - the
band returned to touring in late 2010, playing 26 sold out shows across
America. The Weepies now live in Southern California and are working on another
album.
