Evil Edna – Isle Of Dogs
Evil Edna are Paul Cockerham (vocals, harmonica), Joe Thompson (drums), Sam Taylor (bass), and Simon Land (guitar), a rockabilly punk band from London. They have a unique, genre-crossing sound, which blends gypsy harmonica, psychobilly guitar, thumping bass and upbeat drums, as if Madness, The Pogues and the Bintangs were put in a blender. Gogol Bordello fans will be delighted!
If you’re ready to stomp your feet and shake your hips, please meet Evil Edna!

España Circo Este – Lo Stomaco E Il Bullone
An Italian band with Argentinian roots. So, it’s completely logical that their music is a red hot melting pot. ‘Tango punk’, they call it themselves. More specifically, España Circo Este mixes rock, ska, latin and Balkan music. You can think of them as Mano Negra for a new generation.
After over 500 shows, the band are tight like a sweater when playing live. But don’t believe my word for it, just go and see for yourself. There are plenty opportunities the coming months.
Hot on the heels of their current tour they will release their second album Scienze Della Maleducazione. An album that will be danceable as ever, but with more of a punky edge. Excellent festival material! The first single gives a good impression of what to expect…
