Extra Band Info from the organisers

Glasgow based all-girl punk rock power trio We Rock Like Girls Don’t are fast becoming one of the most talked about new bands in the country. Described as the missing link between early PJ Harvey and Queens of the Stone Age their recent single earned them great NME and Kerrang reviews. With attention grabbing gigs at T In The Park, Club NME, Death Disco and supports slots with The Killers, WRLGD are sure to go down a storm on the night.  http://www.werocklikegirlsdont.net/

Uncle John and Whitelock play twisted country punk and guttural delta blues with socio-political, curdling rants amidst howling riffs and babbling basslines. With a handful of high profile support slots with the likes of Babyshambles and The 5,6,7,8’s under their belt, as well as a recent tour with The Fall, Uncle John and Whitelock have gone from strength to strength.

RESON8! openers, Degrassi, have developed a fierce reputation for vibrant and intense live performances that earned them a Peel session back in January 2001. Having recently acquired the services of Idlewild’s Bob Fairfoull as a guitarist, Degrassi have gone on to support Snow Patrol and Franz Ferdinand, toured with Cinerama (ex-Wedding Present) and 80’s Matchbox B-Line Disaster, and appeared everywhere from Death Disco (Alan McGee) to MTV.  http://www.degrassi.ndo.co.uk/
