Downstairs at Eric’s
Dave O'Grady, Luke Fenlon, Sharp Darts, The Silence and The Guilt Charm
Born from the influences of the rave scene and the rock driven sound of the likes of Led Zeppelin, Killaflaw are an explosive act. They consist of Benn Helm on main vocals and guitar with Andy Paton providing synths, samplers, drum machines, occasional vocal harmonies and trumpet. DJ set from Liverpool band Kids on Bridges.
Dave O’Grady is a singer/songwriter originally from Ireland now based in the UK combine folk and blues and makes it his own.
It is hard to comprehend that Liverpool born Luke Fenlon is still only 20 years of age. His tender age belies the experience he has gained in his musical career. The ink is still wet on his musical birth certificate yet already he has toured several continents and signed a worldwide publishing deal.
His songs are simple stories of love, life and death that have pervaded his life so far. He conjures up endless comparisons of a young Dylan combined with the street sound of Scouse mates The Las.
Sharp Darts are 5 piece band from Bradford, Yorkshire, formed in 2005. They take the traditional Indie/Rock sound and do something which is "distinctly Sharp Darts" with it. Using a unique blend of riffs, grooves and melodies, Sharp Darts create an impressive 'wall of sound' both live and in the studio.
The Silence are a fresh new four piece band hailing from the sunny shores of Brighton. Together since November 2007 the band have been hard at work perfecting their sound ready for live performances and recording.
The Guilt Charm are a northern band born out of the breakup of others and chance meetings on winter mornings. Taking a side step from indie and staying clear of American Rock The Guilt Charm reside somewhere back in the late 60's and early 70's where guitar driven blues inspired music is still loved by all, drugs are clean and music is pure.
