Stage: 9:30. A newly formed rock outfit hailing from Japan's musical boiling pot; Nagoya. The group promise to tear up London with their first overseas show. Helping them do so is model and vocalist Nozomi, bringing a surreal mixture of beauty and brawn to band's sound.

Her style is diverse, ranging from quirky French pop in Au revoir,les enfants/さようなら子供たち, to the chirpy, dreamy beats of the Good Morning Song.

yuki kawana
Stage: 8:00. "There is a reminiscence like of Pavement, Lou Barlow, SONIC YOUTH, PIXIES, and Beck, also the Velvet Underground, which is her roots... chords running through lo-fi sounds in a some what alt / grunge manner, pierced with a unexpectedly strong graceful voice" - that's how HMV describes the solo project of yuki kawana, keyboardist of Tokyo indie-pop rock five-piece, Yucca. Armed with a Fender Mustang and a voice, Yuki brings her daydreams of surrealism to life. Check out her style with the video to her song a black swallowtail.
