\"\"<\/a>Riot Act Promotions<\/a> return as if they’d never been away on Saturday 31 January in Le Pub with the following lovely people:<\/p>\n

Danblagroyd<\/span>
\nAlmost ten years after they first appeared as Moriarty in 1999, Danblagroyd are now to be found messing around with drum machines and sequencers in Cardiff and North Wales.
\nAfter Moriarty disbanded in 2000, the band spread themselves all over the UK \u2013 in Cardiff, London, and North Wales.
\nHowever, they continued to record sporadically during this period. In 2004 a collection of their recordings featured as \u201cDemo of the Week\u201d in the Camden New Journal, where their music was described as \u201cscarily haunting\u201d. Some of the demos were available over this period as free downloads at the now discontinued admass.net.
\nIn late 2006 they decided to reform, and quickly established themselves as \u201cartists who challenge the norm when making new music\u201d, in the words of Huw Stephens (Western Mail, May 23rd 2008).
\nThey continue to receive airplay on BBC Radio 1, and BBC Radio Wales, where they have been described by DJ Adam Walton as having \u201ca great sense of drama\u201d and of being \u201cconsummate producers\u201d. They were also nominated as having recorded one of the best new songs of 2007 (“Apocalypse”), and in October 2008 recorded a live session for Walton\u2019s BBC show.
\nThe band was featured on Bethan Elfyn’s “Introducing…” show on Radio 1 in January this year. They were also selected as “Band of the Week” on Magi Dodd’s show on Radio Cymru in June, and were interviewed by talent spotter Robin Owain Jones.
\nIn March the band made their TV debut on S4C’s “Bandit”, appearing on the sofa alongside the notorious Huws Stephens and Evans, and then performing their song “Y Wers”.
\nThe band have been busy cementing their reputation as an original live act. In February they supported Metronomy at Wrexham’s celebrated Central Station, and more recently supported the acclaimed Hot Club De Paris.
\nIn November 2008 they were invited to play at the opening night of Cardiff’s extremely prestigious Swn Festival. TV cameras were there to capture their performance for S4Cs “Bandit”. In March they also played for the first time in Manchester’s famous Northern Quarter to an enthusiastic reception.
\nIn 2007 they played at Callaghan’s in Cardiff to a crowd that included Super Furry Animals front man, Gruff Rhys; at the prestigious Jackson’s Pit in Oldham; and at what many Welsh acts celebrate as the best venue in Wales – Bangor’s Hendre Hall, in Snogfest 2007.
\nThey are close to completing their debut album, which will be available in 2009. A collection of their miscellaneous demos from 1996-2006 is also planned as a limited release.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Tread On Spiders<\/span>
\n“Cardiff’s Don\u2019t Tread On Spiders are a trio with a love of lo-fidelity rock \u2018n roll….try throwing the terms “indie”, “post punk”, “arty” and even “pop” at them, it all sticks. Founded in the Summer of 2007 they’ve been working hard on home-made material such as the angular \u201cMy Week In Shinjuku\u201d and folksy \u201cTogether Again\u201d. Radio Wales DJ Adam Walton played the \u201cMy Week In Shinjuku\u201d demo only five days after it was uploaded on MySpace, and new demo “Get Up and Go” has also just received some air play.\u2028\u2028Influences include a mixture of Velvet Underground, The Kills, White Stripes and David Bowie……all beaten and whisked by a piece of Beatles White Album vinyl. \u2028\u2028In previous incarnation “The Days”, DTOS has appeared on the Twisted By Design\u2019s \u201cThis Town Ain\u2019t Big Enough For The 22 Of Us\u201d compilation, and were NME Number 1 Breaking Band in November 2006. They’ve also had a song used by BBC Wales for it\u2019s Arts Mundi programme, and have been invited to play in some uber-cool London venues; including the living room sized Betsy Trotwood and Libertine’s haunt Rythm Factory. \u2028The first DTOS official release is the Monomyth EP available since the 24th November 2008.
\nDon\u2019t Tread On Spiders have a diligent ambition to become one of the scene’s top indie acts, and will continue to write and release more songs either independently or preferably with a record label over the coming year.”<\/p>\n

The Odyssey Xp<\/span>
\nNewport based trio, The Odyssey Xp, bring you a soundscape of indie\/ambient music with elements of early nirvana grunge. The combination brings a vibrant, dance orientated feel with a low kick ass edge.
\n3M
\nNewport\u2019s latest ambient avant garde band
\n3m is a power-improv tripod.
\nMark expresses through wood and strings and likes pedals and cable
\nmanagement.
\nMark expresses through metal, likes pipe-cleaners and is a keen pigeon
\nfancier.
\nMark expresses through skin and likes stitching a route thru the middle
\ndistance.
\n3m are old, new, never borrowed, always blue.<\/p>\n
