PENGUINS RISING
Penguins Rising was born in a primal fashion. Writhing into the world not unlike The Creatures after The Banshees.
Early incarnations saw the band as a rocknroll 4 piece. They took a look at the scene and played a various London club nights including Gaz's Rockin Blues, 93 ft East and This Feeling.
Concentrating on writing they expanded musically to incorporate a range of styles. Creating a fusion of electronic, punk, funk, glam, rocknroll.
Taking to the stage once again to play with Kasabian and Beady Eye. Penguins performed as a duo with Zak Starkey on guitar, and Sshh Liguz on harmonica and vocals.
Reborn as PENGUINS RISING released 'HateMale' the film, featuring Perry Benson, at the end of 2013. It was well received and shown on a variety of online sources including MTV, Rolling Stone and BBC America.
The nucleus of PENGUINS RISING is Zak Starkey and Sshh Liguz. Although the line-up has evolved and has included
Javier Weyler (Stereophonics) Darren Mooney (Primal Scream) Dale Davis (Amy Winehouse) and Julien Fenton (Arthur Brown).
2014 saw the band play a number of shows with Kasabian as well as various club gigs including

PENGUINS RISING
GET READY NOW!
BAD WOLF
Where as so many other bands scamper around their genres like little lost puppies, Bad Wolf mean business! They let rip and take you on a full-on trip, revealing the missing link between Indie and Punk with a full-throttle howl at the moon! Debut album "False Conscience" out now!
The Valves
The Valves was formed by frontman and lead guitarist, Mehdi Vismara in July 2013. The London three piece play Blues Rock ’n’ Roll with a Punk undertone. Influences include The Rolling stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Clash, Jonny Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Sun House, Jack White, The White Stripes to name a few.
Mixing big dirty guitar and bass riffs with a huge drum sound and overdriven vocals, the trio make anyone who has ever seen them want to move.
They are fairly new to the London scene, but have already made their mark as one of the most cool, exciting and energetic live shows in Rock & Roll.
At the end of 2013 they secured a recording session with Mick Jones of The Clash, based on his appreciation of the band, and recorded the song “57”.
They have also supported various established acts such as Willie Nile and a UK tour with the band Gun.
With a high level of industry interest in the past couple of months, due to the quality of live shows performed, they are set to be one of the main culprits in the return of Rock & Roll and guitar based music.
CHINA WHITE
China White pummelled the audience with their own brand of alternative music, incorporating guitars, symbols and bongo drums in a way that has never been seen before. Described by Rolling Stones producer Danny Saber as “… the most exciting, edgy band I have worked with since Black Grape,” it is easy to imagine the atmosphere they generated in the smoky Manchester venue. - See more at: http://louderthanwar.com/the-laboratory-project-manchester-an-alternative-review/#sthash.proHocHv.dpuf
