SKATERS formed in late 2011 after singer Michael Cummings and Noah Rubin (The Dead Trees, Adam Green, Little Joy) spent a year trading demos back and forth from Los Angeles to London with guitarist Joshua Hubbard (The Paddingtons, Dirty Pretty Things).

The three met in the middle to record an EP in a Manhattan loft, and never left the city. The result is a smart, dynamic punk band drawing inspiration from obscure genres and cultures. And, a live band featuring a growing cast of young energetic musicians of the Boston and NYC music scenes.

The 2011 album We are Ghosts was picked for The Guardian's F&M playlist. Sarah & Richard now follow their Time To Be ep released in 2012, with a soon to be announced new album and full UK tour.

Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:35:36 +0000

19 May 2013 - Rock & Pop at The Yardbird

FREE

First Night of the Wild Among The Flowers Tour.

Wildflowers began in April 2012, put together by former Bristol and now Brighton based lead singer and chief songwriter 21 year old Siddy Bennett. Suitably labeled in an early review as “Punk Dolly Parton”, Siddy's style is freewheeling, strong, and and with lots to say on many subjects, and you can hear the influence of Siddy's tastes from White Stripes to Patsy Cline in the Wildflowers gutsy sound. Their debut EP "Wild Among The Flowers" is released in June but will be on sale exclusively at their Dot-to-Dot dates and on their UK "Wild Among The Flowers" Tour in May.

Wildflowers include Siddy’s sister Kit on backing vocals, accordion and Hammond Organ, and James Ashbury, Siddy's long term co-writer, guitarist and mandolin player. Growing up in several towns of the West Country and also France, Siddy and Kit were raised as nomads, always on the move, living on boats, farms, in caravans and often on protest camps - the Bennett sisters have been strongly influenced both musically and morally by their bohemian upbringing, and this is apparent in the carefree, country punk sound that is Wildflowers.
