White Heat take the helm today and promise a succession of aural treats to bewitch and wow.

Feral growling backed up by some pounding drums that defy her size, plus metal riffs chunked out by a man that befits his, Comanechi have been kicking up a stink in the London scene for what feels like forever. But hey, they've got international previous too, playing gigs in Berlin and Austin plus touring the UK with likeminded fans The Gossip. A sound that shouldn't make you dance but does, a tune that shouldn't stick in your head but is totally pop. This is the sound of Comanechi, Black Sabbath meets The Shonen Knife. Look out for The Comanechi Storyteller Seven, out on White Heat soon.

Vile Imbeciles: if The Cramps were 'free' they'd sound like this, no question. Metallic sheets of rock-a-billy noise played over a crushing back beat and fuzzed up Mingus bass. Vile Imbeciles let you crawl into this tiny space in your head where you can stay happy for hours and lose all sense of time. Only by achieving this can you then understand what has been put before you. They contain distant echo's of Neils Children and 80's Matchbox B-Line disaster but sound like neither. They've just announced that they'll be doing their debut album and single with us. We can't wait. Where Shimmy Rivers And And Canal are concerned, the second 'and' is deliberate and quite frankly essential. What do they sound like? Well, like the second 'and' it's impossible to explain. The drummer plays a spade, they have the best horn section in London and one of the best front men. Another band we're proud to release on White Heat Records with 'Work It Out' coming real soon. First started picking up props through supporting Afrirampo at their legendary Cargo show and through their own show on Resonance FM. That's the company they keep and if London gives us any justice all the kids at Klaxons shows will start dancing to this soon.

DDD has started his own band, label (One Hundred Records) and genre (OCD Rock). The fug lifted enough for us to work with him and just this second right now we've got an initial mix of new single 'Trojan Horse'. It was put on in the 'office' (Matty's room) and we were blown away. For reference points see Sentridoh, Thom Yorke (back when he were good), Mark Beer, The Normal and amphetamines. Nice.

Some background on The Feast of Trumpets...
The Feast of Trumpets is specifically and biblically the first day of the month of Tishri. Leviticus 23:24 states, "In the seventh month you shall have a sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation."

On the third Sunday of the month, from 3.00pm to 8.00pm we hand over The Luminaire to the UK's best independent labels and inviting them to curate the bill, to give their artists space to perform in a way they might not ordinarily, to collaborate together, for electric acts to play acoustically, or vice versa, to invite friends down to play... In short, to do whatever they like.
