    Love Motel is a Swiss rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960, who became one of the most commercially successful and

    critically acclaimed acts in the history of popular music.

    Since their heyday the group consists of Love (rhythm guitar, vocals) and Motel (keyb). Rooted in skiffle and 1950s rock and roll, the group later worked in many

    genres ranging from rock to psychedelic & electro pop, often incorporating glam rock guitars, booty basses and robotic rhythms in innovative ways. The nature of their enormous popularity, which first emerged as the Love

    Motelmania fad, transformed as their songwriting grew in sophistication. The group came to be perceived as the embodiment of progressive ideals, seeing their influence extend into the social and cultural revolutions of the 2000s. During their studio years, Love Motel produced what critics consider some of their finest material

    including Aprs le Paradis(2003) and Mind the Void (2008) , widely regarded as masterpieces. They are

    about to break up because of a girl.

  • With an ability to unveil hidden gems that would leave Arsene Wenger drooling, the

    Peski gods have once again decided to send us a new musical messiah.

    Going under the guise of Y Pencadlys with songs of operatic ambition and devilish humour, the musical

    project of Haydon Hughes is busily under construction.

    If this guy wrote daily horoscopes you wouldnt know whether to stay in bed or rush out of the house naked, but it would give your day a citrus burst equal to a pint of Mountain Dew. A release of some shape or form

    will be upon us in the near future.

  • Kid Chocolat

    17.30-18.00

    Kid Chocolat is a Swiss musician and producer born in Geneva the 26th of March 1974. Hes the founder of Poor Records and PREC Publishing. Hes also a member of The

    Scribblers and Fortuna.

    From the beginning, Kid Chocolat knew his taste for films. After a first ep dedicated to Peter Sellers, the musician composed a tribute to the italian horror

    master, Dario Argento. His first album released in 2002 is called Life And Death Romano Poal and tells the

    story of an imaginary musician and producer through the music history. Recently, he tried to make the zombies

    dance in a funky ballroom with his album Zombiparti!. He released in 2008, in collaboration with video artist Pascal Greco, a double feature project including a DVD and an original soundtrack called Super8. If Kid

    Chocolat loves movies and quotes from the soundtracks by John Barry, Ennio Morricone and Henry Mancini and samples dialogues, he also directed a tribute

    compilation to the beginnings of Stephan Eicher and Grauzone and regularly collaborates with Asia Argento, daughter of you know who and French comic writer, Luz.

    It has musical preferences known to the psychedelia, the absurd, black and suspense.

  • GwennoMusic! this is the word she used to

    shout first thing every morning, according to Gwennos father.

    So he used to play trumpet calls on the flute, or sing little stanzas about beer, or play a cassette by the

    Tebot Piws, or the Chieftains, or Vivaldi. It was music she asked for, and music was what shes had all her

    life. And it was in Cardiff that she got that music, a town between the sea and the Valleys, a town where the families had come from every part of the world. Whether in school eisteddfodau, or in Irish clubs, or with her

    Mums socialist street choir, there was no escaping from the music.

    Because of her upbringing, her age was in double figures before she knew about the Beatles, or the Rolling Stones, or David Bowie. This revelation opened new

    horizons to her, when she was in the secondary school. Unfortunately, she wasnt in the school often enough to share this revalation with the other pupils. She preferred to spend the afternoon watching Bollywood

    videos and smoking Benson & Hedges. Then there came the call to dance on the same stage as the Lord of the Dance

    himself, and off she went to dance round the world.

    Toni & Puma Mimi

    Tim & Puma Mimi The quirky electro duo from Zurich and Tokyo.

    Indeed Tim pulls out a cucumber in the middle of the concert and pricks it with two electrified needles and

    the cucumber produces archaic electro sounds. Mimi tunes in with I feel good respectively I feel gurk (see. Frutilizer page), bouncing about as if the cucumber had

    an exhilarant impact.

    Though we need to move back into the year 2003: Tim and Mimi met each other at an old-school Santa-Claus-Party

    in Utrecht/NL, where both of them studied. After a three week musical excess, Mimi had to return to Japan and Tim put four songs on the Internet. The songs zipped through

    the net and found ears of concert promoters.

    They were overwhelmed by gig and festival requests from events such as Sonar Electronic Music Festival in Spain, Jazzfestival Montreux or Palo Festival in Nyon. Eventually Mimi gave up her job in Japan and started to commute between Japan and Switzerland in three-month-cycles. By 2011 they had enough of travelling back and forth, got married and live happily ever after; in

    Zrich and continue to collect stones.

    R.Seiliog is alias to Robin Edwards, a musician/producer operating from Cardiff, Wales. He was born in the basement of a

    watchmakers shop in Peniel, North Wales in 1985.

    This early exposure to the syncopated rhythms of countless different timepieces was to have a lasting

    effect on the way he hears the world and indeed, composes. His music has the repetitive, hypnotic, and melodic qualities of his kosmiche forefathers Klaus Schulzes, Cluster, and Harmonia, but is rhythmically more akin to minimalist composers like La Monte Young

    and Terry Riley.

    Put simply his music is drones and loops elevated with cheeky little melodic jaunts and pops. Having spent

    much of 2010-12 recording and touring with H.Hawkline, Cate Le bon, Gruff Rhys & Euros Childs; R.Seiliogs debut EP Shuffles saw him prepapre the world for his

    interwoven frayed, melodic threads of krautrock, psych and experimental electronics.

  • Pol

    22.00-22.45

    Electronic music producer since the dawn of the nineties, nested between the persistant hammering of an electro dancefloor and the dark backstages of the post-industrial

    civilisation, POL infiltrates his music into our world by every mean.

    At the decks or performing live, we follow his footprints from the techno underworld of Geneva to the

    clubs of the planet (Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, New York, Lisbon, Bogota). On the screens, his productions have insinuated themselves in the arty zombies movie of cult director Bruce LaBruce, but also in the very frenchy

    Quand jtais chanteur, with Ccile de France and Grard Depardieu, whose original soundtrack features a track

    produced by POL with his former team-mate Water Lilly.

    On record, his productions are hosted by Helvet Underground, a digital label that he runs himself, and on CD on Poor Records, a small swiss label gaining attention on the world circuit with artists such as Kid Chocolat, Love Motel, Solange La Frange or Gina & Tony. In 1991, POL was largely contributing to the

    laying out of Genevas electronic music foundations as a member of MXP, together with Plastique De Rve. In

    2002, he was projecting himself into space by co-writing Water Lillys music, electro-techno with a touch of pop glamour and cosmic atmospheres. Today, he pursues his

    conquest of space as a solo pilot.

  • PlyciThe biggest thing to come out of Rhyl

    since Kwik Save, Welsh wunderkind Gerallt Ruggiero, records under the moniker Plyci and has shifted through synth pop, glitch,

    ambient, electro, techno and IDM and probably wont settle on any one style in

    the future either.

    Plyci first appeared on the electronic radar back in 2007 with the release of a single on the Ciwdod record label. In the following years hes been busily releasing free tracks and has developed a reputation as a prodigious

    remixer having sprinkled some Plyci dust on tracks from Gruff Rhys, Truckers of Husk, Swiss act Kid Chocolat and label mates VVOLVES which can all be found on his

    soundcloud page.

    Hes performed live sessions for BBC Introducing on Radio 1, for Huw Stephenss C2 show on Radio Cymru

    and also appeared numerous times at Huw Stephens SWN Festival in Cardiff. Hes supported bands such as

    Bordeaux noise makers Kap Bambino, Cardiff synth wizz Evils and up and coming bands such as VVOLVES and Land

    of Bingo. At the beginning of 2012 he toured Switzerland whilst also performing in Jakokoyaks backing band. His main ambition is to take Italo disco to North Korea.
