The Lost Notes
(1pm)
“The Lost Notes write songs about things that matter. Like the perils of one night stands and plastic surgery, the plight of bankers, greaseballs, snakes, Greco-Roman health and safety failings, mules, mermaids and the downright miserable. They are a 5-piece band based in Moseley. They write songs for chin-strokers, foot-stompers, head-nodders and those who like to partake in the dark art of inarticulate dancing and hollering. It happens. And we love it. All delivered in glorious 3 part harmonies.”
Independent Country
(2.15pm)
“Howdy, bab. We are Independent Country, a 6-piece band based in Birmingham, UK. Our 2nd album, 'The True Adventures of Independent Country', is out in August 2018. Our first came out in 2016 and you can find it in all the usual places. Across both records you can hear songs by Happy Mondays, The Smiths, Blur, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Pulp, Oasis, PWEI, Teenage Fanclub and others, taken to Nashville and back.”
Ire Ish
(3.30pm)
“Four sort of Irish lads from Birmingham, playing Irish folk, rebel songs, sea shanties and some other stuff. Known for "Fairytale of New Street", a Birmingham parody of The Pogues & Kirsty MaCcoll 'Fairytale of New York', featuring Holly Thomas.”
Lobster
(4.45pm)
“We are a six piece band from Birmingham, playing
reggae and hip-hop influenced punk music.”
