Cornershop are as The Times and most major papers have put it, 'the most treasured of British institutions,' yet they are amazingly one of the most neglected institutions England has ever known too. Not for them to be merely a pigeon hole in the staff room, they always cut it their own way, constantly changing with every release, burning Morrissey pictures outside EMI to deliver a message that all youth must do, a message that is as important then as it is getting again today, kicking aside their fellow asian crop of bands with a simple kick forward, and such forward thought gave rise to some of the best collaborations and relations ever made.

Whether that was with John Peel or Jon Savage, The Light Surgeons or sleeve art by Nick Edwards, Allen Ginsberg or Otis Clay, Larry Coryell or Noel Gallagher, in Preston Lancashire or London, or Paris or NYC, constructing their videos with the likes of Prashant Bhargava or Douglas Avery, studio production by the likes of The Automator or their own Tjinder Singh, working with charities from Mind to Christian Aid, making diversion to record their epic classic Clinton LP, when everyone warned against it, to then come back with the equally classic Handcream for A Generation, to further flip the record with recordings featuring Bubbley Kaur. The fact that they have stuck to their guns has led to the reduction in how popular they are yet to come, for there is still no one doing anything like them.

The name ‘Tjinder Singh' sounds like 'bells do ring’, and his voice is ‘unspun silk’ – not bad descriptions for a man whose name translates to Fire. The heat is on your ears, and their forthcoming album Judy Sucks A Lemon For Breakfast shows no let up in the programme.

My name is Chris Carlone.
Welcome to the soundtracks of my day dreams . I write all the songs and play all the instruments with the occasional guest vocalist.

These songs are inspired by travel and parallel universes and past lives and aliens and stars and faeries and magic and madness and sadness and beauty.

Born into his 63rd life in 2006 in San Francisco making modern dance punk rock and by putting it in the setting of hard rock clubs. This Unitard clad, Ski bass playing elf became quickly very popular in San Francisco with the help of his 3 salty and sassy dancers Dinah, Punope and Rhonda. In a short 2 year SF life, Borts was nominated 2 years in a row for BEST EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC in the SF Weekly Music Awards. Borts played music festivals in Chicago, Arizona and played gigs in LA and did a small tour of 4 French cities in 2008. (Marseille, Paris, Nantes and Bordeaux). In 2008 Borts moved to New York City and began a whole new line up tapping into the amazing NYC dance scene with new dancers Skin and Bones and new players. Flash forward to summer 2012 - Borts Minorts took a 2 year hiatus mostly existing on a parallel plain rejuvenating life force and is now back in full swing residing in Los Angeles and currently creating a whole new LA line up!

SPOGGA HASH, performance guru and producer has dedicated his whole life to expanding the horizons of his artistry.  Based out of what he calls the “unpicked flower” of the US,  Providence, RI, he survives as a true independent artist.  He is a Singer/ Songwriter,  GUITARIST and FIRE DANCER that tours globally.  His journey of artistic expansion currently relocated him to a place where music and culture are a focal point to life,  NEW ORLEANS, LA!!!

  His musical style is based on Bruce Lee’s The Style of No Style – where every style of martial arts was mastered in order kick all ass – and Spogga proves himself to be a genre defying artist.
