Sweeping The Nation Presents... #7

While we recover from the non-partying around the STN birthday celebrations and start to get develop some good ideas, we might as well tell you about our next live gig even though you don't come to them and it's ages away.

MJ Hibbett & The Validators
The only non-Indietracks full band public gig this year (we think) by the indiepop bard of Peterborough, just before he takes his one-man rock opera Dinosaur Planet to the Edinburgh Fringe.



Standard Fare
Some say they're indiepop's breakout band of the year. What we can definitely state is The Noyelle Beat is a superb work.



Lime Chalks
Birmingham outfit who, they say, "play indiefolklofipop or whatever you'd care to call it, and their philosophy is thus: cheerfulness, melodiousness, harmoniousness!"
