- The Temper Trap\'s story begins with Dougy. Born in Indonesia and immersed in an artistic and musical family, with some rich influences from singing in church choirs with his aunty and uncle and listening to his dad, a country music fan, play guitar. These influences evolved around Dougy, as he moved consistently from different islands in Indonesa, to Hawaii and then eventually to Australia. Dougy\'s move to Downunder started him out as a portrait drawer at $25 a pop, or singing a tune for your loose change in downtown Melbourne.
Dougy eventually ended up working at the same retail store as Toby. Dougy had thought of starting a band for years and after a few months of boring work hours and finding out Toby was a drummer and a walking musical dictionary, the first band practice began, minus a bass player. In one of the coincedences that the band have come to rely on Jonny worked a couple of stores down and was called in. He had known Dougy for years, back in the busking days when dougy first arrived in melbourne. jonny, the 13 year old dreamer and son of a missionary, wanted to learn some guitar and dougy helped him out. A brotherly friendship was formed with some sense of common ground, both drawing life from music and their spritual upbringings, and unaware of the musical union which would be formed 6 years later.
The three of them came together, practised like crazy and played some shows for a year. One, two skip a few (guitarists), ninety nine Lorenzo. An old school friend of Toby\'s, Lorenzo had been dancing around bands and playing guitar from the age of 12. They bonded over skateboarding, but it didn\'t take the 2 teenagers long to start jamming covers and writing primitive songs in the garage. Years down the track and in another perfect twist Lorenzo\'s previous band called it a day just as the other tempers second guitarist departed and the band was formed.
The Temper Trap, lead by frontman Dougy, have been writing and touring Australia, catching the ears of many, including world renowned producer Jim Abiss who made the journey to melbourne to assist the Temper Trap in delivering their debut record. With a series of epic new tracks set for release on their much anticipated debut album, the band has conquered adventurous new territory, building on their rich foundations in a natural progression. Legendary Artic Monkey\'s and Kasabian Producer Jim Abiss flew over to Melbourne to be at the helm. The Results of this brilliant new evolution in sound will persuasively draw you in. The Temper Trap have undeniably delivered.

- In a world of indie bands dipping a cautious toe into dance music’s occasionally baffling computer world, Delphic are post-dance futurist nostalgics from Manchester who have managed to take repetitive beats and crisp electronics out of the underground to emerge as one of the UK’s most exciting new bands. Their debut record, Acolyte, will see its long awaited US release on June 29th, 2010 via Dangerbird Records.
Acolyte was released in the UK at the start of this year and debuted at #8 on the UK album charts. The months leading up to the release saw UK critics buzzing with praise and soon found publications like NME, Q, and The Times of London declaring Acolyte one of 2010’s best debut records, amazing praise given that the record was released just a few weeks into the new year. Delphic secured Top 3 placing in both the BBC “Sound of 2010” poll and the Critics Choice Award at the 2010 Brit Awards. Pulsating and invigorating sets at T in the Park, Reading, Leeds and Bestival built a following of rabid fans and Delphic went on to play a sold-out UK headlining tour in early 2010.
Delphic is comprised of Richard Boardman, Matthew Cocksedge and James Cook who have been together for only a year. They make their music on laptops before figuring out how to play it live, throwing guitars, bass and drums over the electronics to result in their unique sound, then take to the stage and stitch their songs together into one continuous euphoric DJ set-like onslaught. Produced with the Berlin-based Techno émigré Ewan Pearson, Acolyte was recorded mostly in Pearson’s Berlin studio, the city’s flourishing techno scene bleeding into the crisp grooves but never to the detriment of the band’s emotive songwriting. Whether on the explosively percussive “Clarion Call,” the lost longing of “Submission,” the sheer contagiousness of “Halcyon” or the epic scope of the title track, Delphic consistently demonstrate that their ability to write massive songs is equal to their ability to build bangin’ beats. “With a lot of dance albums, you search out the singles but the rest is all a bit samey and boring,” says Matt, “We wrote the album as a whole and weren’t afraid to lower the tempos and concentrate on the songs.”
On stage, their glorious hard-wired gene pool of anthemic indie and stadium techno comes into its own, driving along like a perfectly pitched DJ set where other bands pause to sip their riders between songs, Delphic slip in hypnotic driving techno interludes that turn any gigs into a rave.

- In November 2007, following a US tour supporting The Boggs' third album, Forts, Jason Friedman and touring-Bogg Eleanore Everdell found themselves in the studio recording a brand new collaborative track, without the rest of the band. “In the past, the collaborators I worked with would adjust what they did to fit my vision,” says Friedman. “Working with Eleanore it was clear that the time had come to shift into a more equal partnership.” The result of this new approach was “DRESSED IN DRESDEN”, a fractured pop thumper that showed Eleanore assuming full vocal duties over heavy beats and staccato guitars.
In the months since that session, the seven-year-old Boggs were laid to rest, and THE HUNDRED IN THE HANDS were formed.
With carefully composed polyrhythms, jagged guitar lines, and layered, breathy vocals, THE HUNDRED IN THE HANDS keep the raw energy of post-punk illuminating their minds and Studio One boogie-down beats churning in their guts. This is no Rock concert spectacle, no stationary stare-fest. These are soundsytem-backed, foot stomping, clap hands beats for akimbo-limbed boogie kids. Ballrooms and bar floors are built strong, it’s time to give them a pounding.
Eleanore Everdell sings on ‘Lover’s Day’ the final cut off TV on the Radio’s Dear Science, and has recorded vocals for Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson’s forthcoming Summer Of Fear.
Jason Friedman's The Boggs have released three critically acclaimed albums, played and toured with the Rapture, Hot Chip, Long Blondes, The Kills, Calla, and the Duke Spirit, and have been remixed by Hot Chip and Shy Child. Past members include Matt Schulz of Enon and Holy Fuck, Heather D’Angelo of Au Revoir Simone, and Sam Jayne of Love As Laughter.
