Kicking off with The low lights
Young, precocious indie-funk-punk foursome The Low Lights of Cardiff have established a reputation as an alternative band of some promise.
Formed in high school, The Low Lights spent their formative months taking their music to the streets of the city, "busking and building up enough pennies to record our first demo".
The pennies enabled them to record five songs at Screamadelica studios in Cardiff Bay. The reaction to these songs was positive, and despite doing A-levels, the band were booked to support a number of well-known acts.
They have also headlined their own sell-out show at Cardiff's Barfly venue.
As 2007 comes to a close and with conventional schooling now behind them, The Low Lights are looking to continue their upward trajectory through gigging and more recording. http://orangeunsignedact.co.uk/acts/the-low-lights
The Low Lights - Lady Luck
Warning! some expletives.

Nice start to the thread Scotty
I like their sound, but I do think it's a shame that their voice is a generic Manc/Caribbean/Cockney rather than Cardiff Bay (there's tidy!)

Lizzyspit uses her acoustic guitar and teams it with good humour and soulful voice to make catchy, quirky songs. As Lizzy explains “My main influences come from classic rock, not because I play like the bands but because I love the music and I love what they have achieved. "Well you cant beat that" can ya?

Steve Pilgrim
Resurrecting a forgotten thread here.
Not the best Youtube, but this is a very talented man. He played drums with the wonderful The Stands and has recently thumped the tubs and played guitar (not at the same time) with Paul Weller.
My space has some top songs, if only I could work out how to buy the CD.
