My Octopus Mind

Bristol based trio comprising wayward Scottish traveler, Liam O'Connell, insomniac polyrhythmic fiend Charlie Sorenson and the relentless genius of Izy Ellis on the doubly bass; they found themselves drawn together by a brotherly love of complex rhythms and emotional absolutism. A sound once described as cathartic nautical dream time, it would be more accurate to say rhythmically complex and dynamic folk/post rock jazzface … They spend their down time drinking tea and contemplating the nature of stuff and things and occasionally screaming at.... THE EMPTINESS!!

The Real King(s) of Spain

QJB and Doc Satori, aka The Real King(s) of Spain, are an experimental art rock duo who incorporate electronic, instrumental, spoken word, sample, internet-download and political elements into their sound. They fuse melody and rhythm with an occasionally more discordant score to reflect the nature of the lyrics, which deal with subjects from class antagonism to Dionysian excess and many others in between. Their forthcoming album, The Future of Mass Hysteria, is a rich and textured recording that explores the pain, anger, fury, injustice, hallucinatory bliss, hope and intoxication of the human spirit.

Veterans of the singer-songwriter circuit, the Bristol-based musicians met around 2008 and first collaborated on a 6-minute spoken word piece, Songs of Katrina, which addresses the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Buoyed by the outcome of that collaboration they began writing and the new album is the result. They are interested in playing small theatres and auditoriums, incorporating visual elements into live performance.
