Peepholes
http://www.myspace.com/wearepeepholes
“”Half finished bolts of tunes are discharged into the either with a lack of regard for conventions of traditional indie. To hold them in would be inconceivable”.
20jazzfunkgreats
“Stop Picking On Aretha Pudding” comes across like a grittier early Le Tigre, with angular guitar riffs broken out over a pounding drum machine and Kate Barrett left to her own devices on the vocals, producing nu-skool riot-grrl in excelsis” .
Playlouder.com
“Coltish Korg abusers Peepholes are screaming, writhing on the dancefloor”.

Conrad Vingoehttp://www.myspace.com/conradvingoe
‘this is a collection full of sublime melodies that radiate a wounded pathos.’ **** 4 stars
Lastbroadcast.co.uk
‘a stunning exhibition of what Vingoe can do both vocally and musically’Alan Baillie-subba-cultcha.com
‘this is definitely another addition to my admittedly limited “Great Folk Albums” list.’
leonardslair
“…he takes standard folk-like forms back to their essence so that the grains of the genre are important rather than the veneer of fashion. His touch is deft and almost feminine…almost imperceptible until you realise that the songs inhabit you…the melancholy of out of season loneliness…”.
Americana-uk.com
“Vingoe’s super-power lies in his voice, which is glorious…Everything is in place”.
The Stool Pigeon
“Folk influenced pop carved out of wooden guitars and ivory keys, swelling melodies and a healthy vocal performance. This feels solid and ephemeral at once”.

Hi
I’ve just come across your site and would be interested in your involvement on a project I am working on, on behalf of San Miguel.
Hidden Depths is back for a second year, featuring one-off collaborations, special guests and exclusive performances from a collection of today’s most intriguing artists. It brings together all forms of entertainment including live music, DJ sets, art, AV and film. There will also be some hidden talents and special guests that will only be revealed on the night.
San Miguel will be hosting a series of 5 intimate events entitled Hidden Depths across London & Manchester starting on Thursday 26th June. These are “ticket only” events. To register for these free tickets, all your users need to do is sign up to stand a chance of getting one: http://hiddendepths.tv/ I have a list of the dates, venues and talent that will be there on the various nights, hopefully appealing to you and your users. I can give you access to exclusive material (e.g. podcasts, MP3 downloadable tracks, etc) which you can post & discuss on your site.
There are also opportunities for you to attend these event nights on our guest list (maximum of 20 people for the 1st event as the capacity is a little smaller than the rest of the venues). I will be selecting the 20 lucky people from everyone who posts content/info on their site about the events. If you’re selected you can conduct your own interview with the DJ’s, including photo’s, etc). If you have been selected, I will get in touch to make the necessary arrangements.
So, let me know what you think and if you would be interested in being involved and I will send you assets, more info, content, etc!
I look forward to your reply.
Kind Regards
