GIVERS
GIVERS is a band made up of five friends from Lafayette, Louisiana—it should be stated firstly that the music they make is simply an ongoing reflection of this bond. It is this connection that fuels every aspect of creation and performance for the band. They began their journey together as friends somewhere between high school and college, playing in various bands around Lafayette. Eventually the five would all come together for one night of improvised music at the request of a friend to fill an empty slot. It was this night that a new connection was explored. The music that was created would reflect and define what would become GIVERS. Within their first few shows they would cross paths with Dirty Projectors, who would eventually ask them to tour the east coast in the fall of 2009. Since then they have made touring a major priority, only breaking to record their first full length album, due this spring.

Kingsley Flood
Coming out of Boston, Kingsley Flood knows “Americana” music isn’t a cliché world of cabins, hollers and ’shine—but songs about ordinary people’s challenges set to tunes that resonate.  Meshing the personal and the political with a fiery sound (call it “city-country”), Kingsley Flood draws as much from Woody Guthrie and the Band as it does Joe Strummer and the Replacements.

The Naked And Famous
“Young Blood” went on to platinum sales in New Zealand and by March 2011 was also certified Gold in Australia. The song won the group the prestigious APRA Silver Scroll songwriting award in New Zealand for 2010 and in early 2011 the international accolades began to follow as the The Naked And Famous collected the Philip Hall Radar Award at the Shockwaves NME awards in London. Previous winners of this fresh talent award from NME have been Drums, Glasvegas and The Big Pink.
