ComeDown Kings.

If you’ve ever delighted in the filthy magnificence of the ComeDown Kings before then you need not read on.

If you’ve yet to be graced with their presence, they’d be most pleased to get acquainted...

Mr P is a rambunctious Northern prankster and a self confessed ladder enthusiast

Micky Bliss; Italian Bognorigan geeza, notorious party navigator and generally jackin’

When the fates aligned and allowed circumstances to be just right - the pair collided, united in their quest against bad times and second-rate parties.

Together they provide a  brazenly good example of how to feel music; unhindered by genre pigeonholing, they prefer to pick tracks that cause involuntary dancing and the busting out of previously undiscovered moves the lucky audience didn't even know they had; be it house, disco, techno, jazz, funk or showcasing the soul moving magic of music.

They quickly established themselves firmly within the ever growing Bristol party scene, their SpeakEasy’s created a devout following for the carefree fun and sweaty dancing joy they can’t help but ooze.

Since then they’ve partied in and around Bristol, making merry in venues including The Crofters Rights, Mr Wolf’s, Number 51, The Full Moon, Blue Mountain, Timbuk2, Take 5, St Paul’s Carnival and Mother’s Ruin. 

They’ve had the honor of playing with Scratch Perverts, Lack of Afro, Fingerman, Dr Syntax, Boca 45, Mikee Freedom and many more... 

Becoming ever more brash, The ComeDown Kings took it upon themselves to carve out a niche in the underground bristol party scene; providing a wickedly wanton After Party Palace for slaves to the rhythm to worship and enforcing a firm ‘No Buzz Kills or Vibe Harshers Policy’.

The infamy gained by the covert and invitingly ramshackle operating style, coupled with their honest natural flare for an exceptional party has brought a host of new platforms for them to explore anything and everything they want to do - from an ongoing project making their own analogue music using an array of hardware, all the way to playing some of those secret Glastonbury sets you wish you’d been there to witness.

Until next time, the Un-Regal Renegades wish you love, peace and chicken grease.

Bebel Gilberto (born Isabel Gilberto de Oliveira on May 12, 1966 in New York City) is a Brazilian popular singer often associated with bossa nova. She is the daughter of João Gilberto and singer Miúcha. Her uncle is singer/composer Chico Buarque. Gilberto has been performing since her youth in Rio de Janeiro.

Bebel's debut song was, as expected, precocious. At the tender age of nine, Bebel had already performed at Carnegie Hall with her mother and Stan Getz, and had previously participated in the musicals Pirlimpimpim and Saltimbancos with her mother and her uncle Chico Buarque.

Her professional solo debut came in 1986 with a self-titled EP released by WEA which included "Preciso dizer que te amo," a partnership with Cazuza, Dé, when both were in the Barão Vermelho band. In 1991, the daughter of Gilberto and Miúcha traded Ipanema, where she grew up, for Manhattan, where she was born. Bebel continues to live in New York City, but shares her time between the U.S. and Brazil.

Bebel was a great friend of Cazuza and she composed several songs with him in addition to "Eu preciso dizer que te amo," including "Amigos de Bar," "Mais Feliz" and "Mulher sem Razão."

Bebel next participated in the project Red, Hot + AIDS, joining major music stars such as Everything but the Girl, Maxwell, George Michael and others for the benefit CD recording. She also collaborated on the CD of Japanese producer Towa Tei Future Listening, singing on the hits "Technova" and "Batucada" and also participated in the project Peeping Tom Mike Patton (former lead singer of Faith No More), singing "Caipirinha."

With the release of 'Tanto Tempo' in 2000, Bebel concocted her trademark electronic bossa nova, which took over clubs around the world and positioned Bebel as one of the top-selling Brazilian artists in the U.S. since the '60s. With her second album, 'Bebel Gilberto' (2004), she refined her sound to create an acoustic lounge style that showcased her strengths as a Brazilian composer.

With Momento (2007), her third album in seven years, she wanted to do a fusion of both. Mixing the taste of Rio 'Orchestra Imperial' with the melting pot of New York's Brazilian Girls, and following the direction of the English producer Guy Sigsworth (Madonna's partner in "What It Feels Like for a Girl"), Momento reaffirms the international character of Bebel.

All in One, which was released worldwide on September 29, 2009 on the famous American jazz label Verve, was released in Brazil by Universal Music. It is the least electronic-infused of her albums, it also brings to the forefront more of Bebel's personality and love for organic styles.

To forge a mature serenity on 'All in One,' Bebel had a super team of producers including Mark Ronson (Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen), John King (Dust Brothers, Beck), Daniel Jobim, Carlinhos Brown, Didi Gutman (Brazilian Girls) and Mario Caldato Jr (Beastie Boys, Bjork, Jack Johnson).

Since the launch of 'Tanto Tempo' in 2000, it has sold over 2.5 million records and has been featured on seven film soundtracks (including "Next Stop Wonderland," "Bubble," "Closer" and most recently 2010's "Eat Pray Love") and seven TV series (Sex and the City, Six Feet Under, Nip/Tuck ...).

From the city of music, art and culture in Central Java, Jogja, Dubyouth soundsystem is an electronic-eclectic-mash up-roots group that combines many forms of music. From reggae to dub, some ol’ skool jungle, hip-hop, ragga, house, and much urban vibe, with some rude boy attitude. Always burns the dancefloor everywhere they go, from the small underground parties, art exhibition opening ceremonies, to the big speakers in the clubs, yes..they know how to please the crowd. Even though their album hasn’t been released yet, their music is already spread out to public, well..we dont know how they got it J,but it seems people really got infected by their sound. In addition, one of their single “Bomb Da Town” stays on the number one radio indie chart, and they’re really surprised about it, because they don’t know ‘till one day they got a call from the radio. From the bedroom to the chart! PoppaTee is the mastermind behind this project, including producing, writing, and all that arranging stuff ,with help from D’Metz on the mixing console to run the riddim on their live show. www.dubyouth.com
