Lissie

"Lissie has the voice, the songs and the image to be huge in 2010... A talent way too big for just one canyon."– Sunday Times

"One of the year’s true finds, Lissie maintains the flame for the true rebel country spirit with her finely-etched songs and smokey vocals" – The Mirror

We are delighted to be hosting this exciting new artist from Rock Island, Illinois, in such an intimate environment for her debut Northern Irish appearance.

Lissie’s live show is mesmerizing. She takes the audience on a rollercoaster – one instant silencing the room, the next lifting the roof off with everyone stomping their feet as she wigs out with her band.

Having recorded with both Bill Reynolds of Band of Horses, and Jacquire King (produced Kings of Leon, Josh Ritter and Tom Waits), we’re expecting great things of her debut album, Catching a Tiger, which is released on the 21st June.

Napoleon

Napoleon, "quickly establish their plans for invading our hearts, a beefed up Bon Iver by way of early Radiohead guitars. " - BBC ATL

Having formed in summer 2009, Belfast’s Napoleon decided to keep things simple by focusing solely on their live show. Having nailed that their focus now shifts to releasing their debut EP, expected in Autumn 2010. I have no doubt that this will be the Alt-country record Belfast has been waiting for.
