Bands for State of The Art 2010

Saturday 17th July 2010

Mike Foulds www.myspace.com/mikefoulds1
The Myways Burton-on-Trent based alt-rock four-piece The Myways are a raw and energetic alt-rock band with a dark, powerful edge – it’s a sound which is urgent, exciting and has a great deal of potential. Strong material, an excellent stage presence and a high level of showmanship. www.myspace.com/themyways
The Blue Squares Lester Norton (guitar and vox) has worked with Chris Butcher (double bass) through various projects, after quite a while without a drummer, Mark Dixon brought his percussive talents to the mix and made the duo a trio and The Blue Squares were formed in 2009. www.myspace.com/thebluesquares
Speed Kings Consisting of upright bass, pounding drums, and a sharp sounding gretsch guitar Speedkings have got the phychobillly/rockabilly sound down to a t. They have already been played on Radio 1's punk show and come to the tattoo fest of the back of a european tour. This should be a set not to be missed. www.myspace.com/speedkings
Rip It Up These boys are seasoned pro's and play a mixture of old rock n roll tunes with some rockabilly. They are set to get you off your seat and dancing.

Compère & Hostess - Liberty Pink Liberty Pink is a Jazz Singer with a difference! She performs Jazz classics, Berlin cabaret and the very cream of show tunes with flair and her own uniquely saucy style – she is the definitive 21st century showgirl, but with a dark side! www.libertypink.com
Fleur Du Mal Derby based Fleur du Mal is "the Bad Flower of burlesque", a character as contradictory as her name suggests. A delicate flower, graceful and feminine, with a playful streak and an occasionally shown naughty side. A Burlesquer, dancer and performance artiste who can turn her hand to comedy or elegance with equal success. A model with a predilection for vintage-style pinup and fetish, with their intriguing complementary nature. A brunette bombshell with a love of vintage glamour and bang-up-to-date fun. www.myspace.com/f_du_mal
Marnie Scarlet Twisted Cabaret Diva Marnie Scarlet brings you a taste of the somewhat more eclectic nature of the burlesque art-form. One of the world's best know fetish and alternative models, Marnie has a unique and fast-paced style of theatrical performance, performing regularly at London clubs Torture Garden and Antichrist. wwww.myspace.com/marniescarletdiva
Lili La Scala Mademoiselle Lili la Scala, currently residing in New Zealand, is the stuff legends are made of. Let this little lady draw you in to her entrancing world. Originally from London, this diminutive songbird has been delighting audiences worldwide with her unique and quirky style. A devotee of the vintage glamour-puss image, Mademoiselle Lili is the epitome of pin-up girl chic with her doll-like figure and her long raven locks. She will beguile and seduce you with her beautifully unique burlesque performance. www.lililascala.com
Miss Pink & Fluffy Miss Pink & Fluffy is a Neo-Burlesque Performance Artiste specialising in adding a modern twist to Traditional Burlesque. Her style has become synonymous with theatrical expression, vintage style, with a little vaudeville backed up by elaborate props and intricate themes. Her performance style has recently been defined as "Twisted Cheesecake" Her routines generally follow an on-going theme based around the adventures of "Miss Pink & Fluffy", combining story telling with character burlesque usually with a mildly risqué, fetish or comic twist and combines all the elements of traditional burlesque with skills such as fan dancing & ribbon twirling. Her wardrobe is a combination of ultra-feminine glamour with vintage style, beautiful corsetry, fully fashioned seamed stockings and her signature sky high heels. www.misspinkandfluffy.com
