11.00 – ALEXA HAWK
***********************

” Earnest, frank and funny, Alexa crafts alternative pop songs with an edgy well observed hue which is incredibly endearing but for the tragedy of truth that lies behind the lyrics”

1O.30 – MEBEROB
*******************

Meberob writes unique songs of drunken nights out, failed conquests and modern day life, as we know it. …. The lyrics have been described as modern day, urban poetry. Rob and his eclectic ever-changing line up, pulls off track after track of dangerously melodic, never to be forgotten tunes, all executed with more wit and performance than you can shake a stick at. …. …A musical melting pot of, kind of urban, kind of folk, kind of post punk, but most of all…. just original and truly unique. Superb melodies, inspired lyrics and an honest connective performance. ….

9.30 – EMILY MARTIN
***********************

“Sexy songstress with a huuuuge voice. Emily’s actually becoming one of the most name-dropped ladies on the circuit. There’s a hell of a lot of great singers in Notts but that doesn’t count for much. It’s the balls and push that make you stand out, this is why she’s hot!”

Queer Street (track 02):

From the Britannia Avenue EP which will be free to stream/download tomorrow 25th May 2011…

All my sugar’s turned to alcohol / and since you left I been drinking it all / because things ain’t so sweet no more / I can’t find the keys to the kitchen door / and yeah baby all the milk’s gone sour / the clock’s ticking me off by the minute and hour / yeah sugar your heart is tame / you switched real love for aspartame / babe, the bread’s gone stale / I need nutrition cos my hands are pale / mama, my meat’s gone bad / I don’t what to eat and I’m going mad / sugar realise I ain’t bitter at all / just sitting here waiting for the city to fall / so you and that banker’s son / can take a twenty-first storey running jump / sugar things now ain’t so sweet / come take a peek inside the jaws of your defeat / sugar now you’re making me sick / what I thought was truth was just a trick / all my sugar’s turned to alcohol
