Brolin @ Electrowerkz, London 06/05

Cheatahs & East India Youth @ The Shacklewell Arms, London 06/05

Cloud Boat @ Trof Fallowfield, Manchester 07/05

Occupying the nocturnal space between the poignant maximalism of Tim Buckley and the codeine beats of Mount Kimbie, Cloud Boat – aka British duo Sam Ricketts and Tom Clarke – are definitely ones to catch early before their tripped out beats capture the hearts of more fans.
