KarmaDeva (UK)
New Wave/80er/Postpunk. KarmaDeva überzeugen mit ihrem einmaligen Sound aus funkigem Post-Punk. Frontfrau JJ. Stanness sieht nicht nur gut aus, sondern gibt der Band mit ihrer Stimme ihr ganz besonderes Flair. Sie wurde bereits mit Größen wie Patti Smith, Siouxsie and the Banshees oder Blondie verglichen. Als Support für u.a. Grace Jones, Supergrass und The Fall haben sie bereits eine große Fangemeinde in England überzeugt. Nun werden sie zum dritten Mal die Hamburger mit ihrer einmaligen Musik verzaubern. (zuletzt im Logo mit The Boxer Rebellion)
Mit im Gepäck, zahlreiche neue Songs, die sofort die spitzen Tanzschuhe in Bewegung setzen werden.

JJ Stanness - vocs/acoustic guitar - Pete Stanness - bass - Gav Loynes - drums - Beau Stevens - electric guitar

Broken Links (UK)
Diving into the lyrical and musical depths of free association, taking you on an emotional rollercoaster of despair to complete arousal. Influenced by the under-currents of post-punk, and then boxing it up into an old stone box made of pure hard industrial pop space rock and sin. A band you simply cannot ignore. An alternative act from Eastleigh, Southampton, the three piece is made up of Mark Lawrence (vocals/guitar), Lewis Betteridge (bass) and Phil Boulter (drums). They are heavily influenced by 80’s music and artists such like Joy Division, Gary Numan, Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, The Cooper Temple Clause and ‘Holy Bible’ era Manic Street Preachers.
‘The Fine Line Between Choice/Decay’, follows up the release of Broken Links debut EP ‘Resisting Movement and the Almost Advisory’, re-released in January this year. Mintsouth recently said of Broken Links “Unsigned bands shouldn’t be this professional.” They may have only been together for a year, but their development as a band is clear, and their second EP is testament to how they have matured in this time. Broken Links’ Mark Lawrence describes ‘We wanted to go a bit wild with the 2nd EP, and we’ve done exactly what we wanted to do musically, it’s a 41 minute ride to the dark side!!’
