The Grey Lady Music Lounge, Wednesday 8th June 2011
This is a past event.
Headline Act: Mike Orson
Mike says: My intention with life is to write and perform music, the sort of music that I feel passionately about. Music that really means something, the lyrics are about how I feel and the music is the sound of my life. I will die trying because it's the only thing that really means something to me and I've always known that it's what I'm meant to do.
I hope you enjoy my songs, there's a small selection on this site from my most recent recording and one (Steph's Song) that won the Make It Break It 2005 competition.
Dan Clews & Charlotte Brereton
Charlotte Brereton and Dan Clews collaborate to re-ignite a long-standing musical partnership which has seen them play a number of reputable venues and gain attention from both producers and industry bodies alike. Outside this project Dan has reached the heights of the BBC Radio 2 playlist and is now signed to George Martin Music Publishing, Charlotte has toured the States and played support for Hollywood star Juliet Lewis & The Licks. Expect to hear close harmonies, songs stepped in melody and lyrical imagery as Charlotte and Dan dust off some old and throw in some new.
Laky (aka Kyla Stroud)
With her clever lyricism, raw maturity and laidback pop with folky undertones, LAKY, previously known as Kyla Stroud, is sure to charm you. Taking inspiration from eclectic 70s and 80s music, including classics like Earth Wind and Fire, Joni Mitchell and even Dolly Parton, as well as more current names such as Jade Bird, Christine and The Queens and John Mayer, LAKY has created her very own sound and is about to explode on the scene. Keep your eyes peeled!
AudioWhorés
AudioWhorés are a band made up of 5 friends who put their heads together in the summer of 2010, determined on delivering their own music to whoever would listen, drawing from a gargantuan array of influences from Living Colour, Pearl Jam, Rage Against The Machine, Stone Sour, The Metres and many more.
Although typically playing as an electric act (showcasing original material at such venues as The Water Rats, Camden Rock and ArchAngel), AudioWhorés have stripped back their sound to perform on the local acoustic circuit as well as various bars/clubs in London, particularly Soho, where they have been met with very positive reviews.
It was in late July of 2012 when they headed back into the studio to record their first album (which is due for release in February this year) and, for this month only, they have released their first single 'Slice Of Life' which is available FREE!! Download your copy of it at their bandcamp page.
