Thursday 16th August

Big Mouth proudly presents a great thumping night of the best Indie/Rock/Pop that London has to offer. Featuring live sets from

Ghostcat www.myspace.com/ghostcatmusic Simplistic, and yet finely crafted rock'n'roll, with a melodic pop edge. Lyrics that read like transmissions straight from the id, with the themes of lust, longing and loathing at the fore.

Bear Knuckles www.myspace.com/bearknucklesband The band meld British influences such as The Jam, Muse and 3 Colours Red, with the American sounds of Queens of the Stone Age, We are Scientists and Foo Fighters. Combined, they unleash an original blend of "dirty rocking, destructo powerpop smoked from the hashpipe".

England's Lane www.myspace.com/englandslane Gorgeous melodic punk at it's best. Riffs to riot to, beats and basslines to bop to. Expressive vocals and an altogether great act. If you liked the early strokes you'll love these boys.

Jack Cheshire www.myspace.com/jackcheshire
Jack is creating some of the most original and intriguing songs around. Beautiful lyrics entwined with perfect guitar. A true singer songwriter, a true talent, I reckon you should come and see him for yourself while you still can.

David James Herbert & the Watchmen www.myspace.com/davidjamesherbert This is nothing like the archetypal singer/songwriters who follow the same formula and bore everyone to tears (yes, Im looking at you Blunt!) Great rock songs that don't compromise any cheese substance. Not a dull moment.
