*PLEASE NOTE! THE VEILS HAD TO PULL OUT OF THIS SHOW, SO WE BOOKED MORTON VALENCE, THEN THEY BROKE DOWN IN GERMANY AND CAN'T GET BACK TO LONDON UNTIL SATURDAY. OUR APOLOGIES.*

With a long limbed feisty front girl and an energy to fixate the masses, main support Royal Treatment Plant are more than eye candy with grit. Think the Yeah Yeah Yeahs meets Blondie fused with an indie-punk-pop soul full of despair, freedom and love.
"Royal Treatment Plant are future stars in the making, every song on their debut EP bristling with genius pop attitude and hook laden guitar abuse - Bruised, brilliant, vital and fresh, Royal Treatment Plant will make your life better." [UK Music Search]
First on are Champion Kickboxer who "sound EXACTLY like The Beta Band should. This really is a glorious magical noise." [Logo]
"Eccentric, English, full of character, as beautifully unique as Pulp or Cardiacs or XTC in their very own way." [Organ Magazine]
Then we've Hexa, straight outta New York City. Hexa is four boys and two girls who sound like Fleetwood Mac fronted by Freddie Mercury if Freddie Mercury was straight.
Here's a picture of them where one of them collapsed after too much red wine. Looks like a Christmas tree behind them too.
