Scubaroots
After a long summer of ripping up the festival circuit with their live 10 piece show, Scubaroots have headed into deepest, darkest Shepherds Bush to record their much anticipated new album 'Babylon Pharmacy' (Out Summer 2009). Currently working on their new record with Morgan Nicholls (former bass player of The Streets, Gorillaz, Lily Allen, The Senseless Things) they are looking forward to returning to the stage for more festival action in the UK and abroad.

"One of Bristol's hottest club secrets, and championed by the likes of Mr. Scruff, The Scratch Perverts and DJ Derek, are the prodigious party boys and girls, Scubaroots."

"At its core are Richard De Rosa and Richard Cox who write and produce the tracks. Live the group consists of a ten piece band that on occasion swells to include gospel choirs, record geek DJs, Latin percussion outfits and a ton of other party-kinds up for a party. Expect high energy, disciplined and soulful music that nods to the best kinds breakbeat, funk, reggae and roots influences you can imagine. The band forged on the South West college circuit and now has an ardent following in Bristol, and wherever they have gigged around the country. Taste beyond their years this is killer stuff. Crowds forming. Let the word spread."

Mae Karthuaser
Mae Karthauser (the grand leader of The Midnight Fairground) brings you a feast for the ears with her fairgroundesque oompah! songs, wordy story-like lyrics, colourful references to human interaction and animals - of course - animals, and elaborate multi instrumental arrangements. (Proper songs inspired by the playground).

A. “Ah Cubbeltun Feeast aint what it used to be. We did a some good uns yeeurs agoo - we did a some feeastes then. It tooks us all the waik to to ett ivvery-thing up. In th'ole days waiks afuur it come we writ fur subscriptions to the gentry all around, and in ur lehhur we allus invited em to dinner, an tis wonderful what we got. A coourse we didn’t want em to come to dinnnur, fur some an us woont a knowed how to goo an at the teeable if they’d bid thaiur. Any reeate, we allus got plenty a money to git plenty a mait and ivverything else we wanted. We had the big faid the fust day and kep an ivvery day artur till it was all finished. They were some times! Peepul come from all ovur the wurrld to Cubbeltun feeast a fuur the war; the pleeace was filled. In ivvery yard carts and waggonetes wur stored, besides ivverywhere else wheer one could be put. That was afuur the war, but now things bd down and thaiur aint th’ interest took in it as thaiur was then; but still, it aint a bad un this yeeur.”

B. “Cam an! Let’s git up to th’ Unicorn afuur the crowd comes up. We can have a table togither fur a little while; If we dooant, we shant git in fur the peepul when the band stops a ’playin’ (To new-comer) “Hullo! How be ye a-gittin an ? What do ye think a the feeast?”

C “Well, taint a bad un, but we had behher feeastes in Cubbelton yeeurs agoo”.

B “We did; but taint a bad un this yeeur, an I be glad an it. I dooant like to see the ole feeast goo down. A ye heeurd the band?”.

C. “Yis.”

B. “I ruckun tis a jolly good band. I ruckun they play well. We had the Old Un this arurnoon”.

C. “What old un?”

B. “Why, the real old un uv all – ‘The farmer’s Boy’. They played it arly in the arurnnon, and some an us as were standin by a ’listenin to it did give it bains. We did let hur have it. Talk about music, did ye ivver heeur sich music? Thaiur nivver was sich music. Thaiur’s moour music in ’The Farmer’s Boy’ than in all the music as a ivver bin played put togither. We ull goo down and aks fur it to be played agen, that we wull! And we ull sing it togither. We ull ask fur it to be played by special request.”
