Hey UKND!! I am a British songwriter living and working in NYC. My debut album Thresholdwill be released on 11th of January 2012 at The Living Room, NYC. I thought you might like my song The Shapes of London which is about my distant memories of the place I was born. Enjoy!! CordeliaTHE SHAPES OF LONDON
Hello

Knox & The Trailer Trash Orchestra
Legendary Vibrators front-man Knox has teamed up with country-rockin' festival faves The Trailer Trash Orchestra to produce new album "The Knoxville Boy" (Trashville/Rough Trade) which includes storming country-rock versions of several Vibrators classics along with many all new songs ranging from full on hoe-downs to plaintive bar-room blues ballads. Maverick Magazine describes it as "Refined, extraordinary music by a band oozing style"! Knox describes his collaboration with The Trailer Trash Orchestra as "like Lou Reed meets Johnny Cash for party time on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Farm. "

THE DUBLO - with special guest Charlie Hangdog
'..backwater blues stripped to the bone..'
The Dublo play the blues as it was originally intended: raw, swinging, rent-party boogie!
With hero's like Big Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson - what you get is mule kickin' R'n'R, fat distorted instrumentals in the vein of the late great Hound Dog Taylor & Link Wray, sultry ballads and spine tingling spirituals to give your feet a moments rest...before the next serving of original, strictly lo-fi, filthy blues boogie..
With special guest on blues harp Charlie Hangdog!
The Dublo have played Spitalfields Blues Festival, Stoke Newington Festival, N16 Fringe Festival, Homerton Folk & Blues Festival, supported James Hunter, The Jim Jones Review, The Urban Voodoo Machine, Roddy Radiation (The Specials) and their track 'Cock Crow Blues' on What's Kickin Vol III has been a favourite on the Mark Lamarr show.
With a new 10" vinyl out soon on L-13 recordings...

Piney Gir
Piney Gir taunts traditional country music with a big city edge… Jesus Wept is Piney's 4th album out on Damaged Goods and is a nod to Piney's strict religious upbringing and her urge to walk the line between naughty and nice. There comes a time when everyone should question their faith and Piney has channelled that into a record. A record that's a little bit country, a little bit rock 'n' roll and a whole lot of attitude.

The Lucky Strikes
Hailing from the Thames Delta of Southend on Sea The Lucky Strikes channel blues country and gospel into their own brand of cinematic Americana. The song-writing vision of Matt Boulter (lead vocals and guitar) and Dave Giles (piano and guitar) focuses on literate ragged alternative country, influenced by the Band, Tom Waits and the spaghetti westerns of Ennio Morricone.
