The
Koo Jacks
The
Koo Jacks started life in 2010 when local band Snappa decided to finally
go into the studio and record some original material. Born out of
those recording sessions is the band 'The Koo Jacks'. The
Koo Jacks mix state of the art technology such as samplers, sequencers
and effects with more traditional instruments like the guitar, bass
and drums. The sound they produce is a mix of Ambient Trip Hop, Dance,
Blues and Rock and their music has been described as Dirty Pop meets
Alternative Rock. The Koo Jacks are currently recording an album,
playing festivals all over the country and their music is being used
for a movie sound track by Paramount Pictures and the band are hoping
to tour the States next year.

Friends
In China
She
Told me I was silly is a track that was concieved way before the
ACM years and goes right back to the days when FIC were under the
name Iphigeny. Though the track was originally written as a joke
it became FIC's most notorious track. With its at first singable
chorus followed by a rhyme that even the most trained ear couldnt
make out, She told me is by far the pop song for the boys from Guilford.

One
Step Behind - Masters of Madness
"One
Step Behind" are the UK's PREMIER MADNESS tribute band. The band
was formed in Spring 1993 and has achieved widespread recognition
in an unusually short time. At
first they played low profile venues in their native London, but quickly
progressed and were invited to play larger and more prominent venues
such as The Grand, The Venue and The Marquee.
Each
member of One Step Behind grew up as a Madness fan and for each,
perfecting his portrayal of his original Madness counterpart has
been a labour of love.
