After the repeated success of the greatest event of the summer, Underage Festival returns to bring seasonal cheer to a no-adults crowd at the Scala during the short, dark days of December for an Underage Festival Christmas Special, its first indoor extravaganza.
Bowling on to the scene a few years ago as one of the most hotly tipped new electronic artists, METRONOMY’S new album Nights Out has been received to great acclaim, credible creators of great electro-pop. Their distinctive production sound is rich in melody and has a well-developed pop-sensibility. They writes instrumental-electro-pop where the guitars, melodicas and accordians sing the tunes. With inspiration from just about every corner of pop counterculture, theres is a sound both familiar and totally fresh. METRONOMY bring something a bit special to the discount-disco low-fi scene while charming the new-new wave rock / pop crowd.

DAN LE SAC VS SCROOBIUS PIP have become the new faces of 'outsider pop'. visually they defy any prefab industry model, their towering structures of Casio enthused electro-hip-pop are alien to the conventions of radio programming, and their lyrics even dare to ask questions of themselves and the listener, combining the unique delivery style of SCROOBIUS PIP and the industrial and conversely elegant electro and hip-hop grooves of DAN LE SAC.

The band most of London are talking about - GOLDEN SILVERS make minimal, engaging and 80's music with sharp keys and catchy choruses. Led by lead singer Gwilym Gold, with Ben Moorhouse on bass and drummer Alexis Nunez providing the contagious harmonies.

Mystery Jets dj set
THE MYSTERY JETS have not only featured a father and son in the band and cited King Crimson and Syd Barrett as influences, they also hail from that legendary bastion of bohemia on the Thames, Eel Pie Island: a place that gave birth to the musical careers of The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd among others.

CHEEKY CHEEKY AND THE NOSEBLEEDS
All over the radio, the net and music papers, releases by CHEEKY CHEEKY AND THE NOSEBLEEDS are sure to be future ebay gold. Charlie Cheeky (19), Rory Cheeky (18), Christian Cheeky (18), Thom Cheeky (19) and Ali Cheeky (19) became Cheeky Cheeky and The Nosebleeds in the summer of 2007, having previously whiled away the hours listening to Ian Dury, The Ramones, the Moldy Peaches and 'filthy French house music' and reading Robert Frost poems. The five-piece have succeeded in their ambition of becoming a band with no line between their music and their lives, their art and their aesthetic.

Sheffield quintet ROLO TOMASSI affect a perfect balance between unhinged noise and unexpectedly beautiful atmospherics. Theirs is a sound which is visceral, acerbic, fiery, convulsive, combustive.

TOMMY SPARKS is the sound of people living and breathing and having fun and being sad and dancing and laughing and crying and being bored and entertained.
