Blurb:
The Dark Lights, a London-based band, which was formed in
Australia by founding members Matt Ho and Rachel Ho, are known for
their dynamic indie post-punk electronica. After the success of
their debut EP, ?The Boy Who Saw Through Walls?, in 2012 the band
line-up changed, recruiting Tristan Roe on vocals and Francisco
Sousa on drums. The now Australian-Anglo-Portuguese quartet are set
to release their sophomore EP ?Stop Existing, Start Living?, due
out July 2013. The Dark Light?s will embark on their third UK tour
this summer, to celebrate its release, finishing with their London
EP Launch at Power Lunches.

Transformativa + Soft as Snow
Transformativa is a Brazilian born, London based electronic
producer who, since 2008, has been working at the cutting edge of
new electronic sounds and has had raving reviews on the specialized
press. His work is often compared to the likes of Amon Tobin and
Aphex Twin and draws influence from Jazz, Sonic Youth and Brazilian
music.
This is the release show of his first single: "The Aleph":
Spotify: http://bit.ly/Aleph_Spotify_Transformativa
Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/transformativa
"(…)a truly mesmerising wild and chaotic symphony of sound that reaches some dark depths of barely-in-control intensity"
Fact Magazine
Soft as Snow is a new Scandinavian band based in London. In their dark, electronic noise pop they draw inspiration from The Knife and Gang Gang Dance, Detroit Techno, the murky synths of Boards of Canada and the noisiness of Animal Collective.
Soft as Snow consists of Goldsmiths graduate artist Oda Egjar Starheim on vocals and guitar and postpunk drummer Øystein Monsen on drum machines, acoustic drums, synths and samples.

Tigercats + Supports
TIGERCATS (http://www.tigercatsband.com/)
Tigercats make music of open-hearted joy and sparkly-eyed adventure. If you like songs that start with intimate confession and end in furious vegetarianism, or studies of Konnie Huq's easily-forgotten role in the Beijing Olympics, you'll love Tigercats!
JUST HANDSHAKES (http://justhandshakeswerebritish.tumblr.com/)
Just Handshakes are something of a rarity these days, a British indiepop band that are worth shouting about. A four piece currently based in Leeds, they sit somewhere between the oscillating pop of Jenny Lewis in her Rilo Kiley days and a doo-wop Metric.
THE SPOOK SCHOOL (http://www.thespookschool.com/)
The Spook School are four noisey people from Edinburgh, Scotland. They write honest indiepop songs, full of energy with raucous guitars and drums.
£6 (advance) £8 on door
