Headlining The Mr Kyps Stage, June 30th

Mr Kyps are proud to present Noisettes as headliners of this year’s Bournemouth Live main stage. The band who supported Muse on their 2006 arena tour will be performing material from their critically-acclaimed new album, What’s The Time Mr Wolf, released February 2007 both sides of the Atlantic.
Schizophrenically contradictive: one minute rough, raw and explosively dramatic, the next, detached, calm and serene; The Noisettes have been around since 2003, releasing two previous EP's and touring across the United States and Europe behind the likes of Bloc Party, Mystery Jets, Tom Vek and Babyshambles. Indeed it is their frenetic live show and relentless touring which has propelled them forward, and they’ll be appearing at Bournemouth Live following an amazing 3 appearances at Glastonbury festival the previous weekend.
This London three-piece mix lashings of creativity with infectious charisma and the desire to leave a lasting impression of a style that couldn’t be attributed to anyone else. Propelled by singer Shingai Shoniwa, a proclaimed cross between Billie Holiday and an Amazonian Warrior, the Noisettes’ shows are soaring in accolade for their brash nature and the front girl’s weakness for tribal face paint and cartwheels across the stage.
Held roughly in place by her right hand men, drummer Jamie and guitarist Dan, the result is a fantastically unpredictable cacophony of bouncing neo-blues which has left audiences dazzled and transfixed “like a group of seven year olds being told the greatest story in the world” (rockfeedback.com review).
As one reviewer of their sold out January show at CuRioSiTy @ Mr Kyps aptly put it: The Noisettes are an event.

SixNationState

Energetic Southampton 5-piece whose music spans the genres of rock, ska and psychedelia with infectious danceability.
"Refreshingly chaotic. They sound like a mix of everything from Hendrix to Tex Mex, with the pace of Motorhead. Their infectiously upbeat sound immediately hit the crowd, who started dancing furiously to their electrifying tunes."

-BBC
Nick Harper
Expect to be dazzled by an incredible talent for songwriting, performing, and some of the most inventive guitar playing you’ve ever seen. Be prepared to have expectations shattered as to what one man with an acoustic guitar is capable of.
“Undiscovered genius”-The Times
“Dylan for the iPod generation”-Guitarist Magazine
Betika8-piece Bournemouth band much loved for the boundlessly energetic way they bring their ecstatically miserable magpie-pop to live audiences.
“Bouncy, joyous and percussive; instantly enjoyable”

Dead!Dead!Dead!
www.deaddeaddead.co.uk
One of Southampton’s finest exports over the last few years; they take your average indie/rock song and scorch its face with their own brand mark. Slightly obscure, unpredictable and quirky without forgetting to write a damn good melody at the same time. Poppy without being obvious, different without being po-faced.
“Intelligent, inventive, unconventional and unbelievably infectious – it’s easy to see the band becoming the south’s worst kept secret.”
10/10 - Drowned In Sound
Pete Christie
www.petechristie.co.uk
Without doubt one of Bournemouth’s best solo acoustic performers, Pete’s music is Energetic and lively yet capable of delicate intimacy, falling somewhere in between the guitar of Harper and Martyn and the wit of Dylan or Bragg.
“Great singer, great instrumentalist. The man is an amazing performer.”
