"They make the kind of music that is simply addictive. Forget what you might think, it turns out Manc indie music can still be original."
BBC Manchester
"Carlis Star's songs are wonderfully sweet blasts of melody, synths and adrenalin"
Music Mart
"Unwavering optimism coupled with fuzzy punkpopping rock promises a pretty good gig time if you are in a similarly inclined mood. And if you're not, you need to be asking yourself why that is."

EYES come from Chicago and make glorious music for dancing that straddles the vibes of Ariel Pink and HEALTH. The type of band people might lie about having seen first time round once they make the cover of Plan B. You know, if they felt so inclined.
Skitanja, in spite of what the poster says, are actually from Bournemouth. They make scrappy, electronic bleep party pop music with guitar.
Shiu-Yeung Hui is the Chinese member of Japanese group Maher Shalal Hash Baz. He drinks quite a lot of neat vodka then takes to the stage to perform his wonderful, fractured, miniature songs using guitar and keyboard. An exercise in patience, an audience with Shiu pays off massively.
Elapse O are a death disco unit from Oxford. Imagine swimming the butterfly through a load of broken Swans LPs. That's what they sound like. Dig.
The Bon Bon Club are Sushi Quatro (bass, vox), Thirsty Moore (drums,vox) and Chapatti Smith (perc, vox), although Sushi and Thirsty are better known under different names for their day job as the rhythm section of Sheffield glam-popsters The Long Blondes.
DESIGNER MAGAZINE'S FIRST GIG OF THE SUMMER.....AFTER THE MASSIVE MAPS FESTIVAL LAST MONTH
