After the success of the first oversubscribed, sold out event featuring James Yuill, Trophy Wife and Babeshadow, Lyle & Scott is excited to announce the second in the series of ‘Curated by Lyle & Scott’Focusing on showcasing new talent, Lyle & Scott will be presenting the very best in emerging talent:

Headlining will be Hotly tipped TRIBES, who bring together lo-fi and pop – simple, clean songwriting filtered through warm, fuzzy disjointedness. Described by the NME as  “the uncharted middle-ground that separates Pavement and The Courteeners…”

WILDER dance to the same raucous jam-band tunes as Friendly Fires and The Rapture. Their thumping, vocoder-fied pop blitz presents a yearning peon to summers gone and the promise of ones to come.

LIFE IN FILM’s brooding pop anthems are redolent of, amongst others, Nick Cave and Kings of Leon. Harking from London, the band’s sound combines an English punk / new wave sensibility with American cosmic, country airs and graces.

Started as a solo project in 2000 by accordionist and drummer Jeremy Barnes (former member of indie rock legends Neutral Milk Hotel) and named after a line in Cervantes’ Don Quixote (hence the new album’s name), A HAWK AND A HACKSAW became a duo in 2004 when Barnes met violinist Heather Trost. The pair began an adventure that took them to Budapest, Hungary where they lived for two years and met/toured with some of the country’s fnest folk musicians, as well as countless US & European tours both on their own and with big names including Portishead, Calexico and fellow New Mexico resident Beirut (whose Gulag Orkestar album they performed on and helped bring to wider attention). Joined by an ever expanding and contracting line-up of musicians, A Hawk and A Hacksaw seeks to create and document an ecstatic sound much like the village bands of old, with the communal aspect of folk tradition and musicianship the key factor.
