Fringe Sunday 2008 Special - Part 2 

This part 2 of our 2008 Fringe Sunday Special , featuring 5 of the artists playing the PRS New Music Stage at Fringe Sunday, 10th August, as part of the Edinburgh Festival 2008.

You'll hear new music from We See Lights, Molloy, Eliza Wren Payne, Dave Arcari and Punch and the Apostles.

We See Lights We See Lights are Edinburgh based, giving them the shortest trip to appear at Fringe Sunday. The 7-piece only formed in 2007, and played their first gig this year, but have already played the Isle of Wight Festival and have T In The Park lined up too. Blending indie, pop and folk in perfect balance, they are XFM DJ Jim Gellatly’s favourite new band – and he knows his music. Listen to Try, and see what you think You can find out more about We See Lights at myspace.com/weseelights
Molloy Shoreditch based electro pop outfit Molloy featured in our Podcast number 13. Since then they’ve been playing around around Europe, and their live performances earned them an INDY award for “Best New Wave stroke Progressive Act”. Categories… what do they really mean, eh? What you really need to know is that they make great synth based pop music that you can dance to. This is a new track from them: Thursday Electric.

Eliza Wren Payne Eliza Wren Payne arrived in the UK from the American mid-West with little more than a handful of cash and a guitar. She started off busking in London, but these days you’re more likely to find her in more intimate surroundings including London’s famous Best Kept Secret open mic night at Ginglik. Her unique voice and intensely personal songs will send a shiver down your spine. This is Finally by Eliza Wren Payne As well as her solo acoustic work, Eliza is involved a number of collaborative projects; if you’d like to find out more, visit myspace.com/elizawrenpayne or elizawrenpayne.com
Dave Arcari Steeped in the pre-War delta blues, Dave Arcar’s songwriting, gravel-gargling voice and bottleneck guitar playing place him in the league of contemporary blues stars like Seasick Steve. He is no porch-chair purist, and his performances are rawly energetic, reflecting his love of punk, rockabilly and trash-country as well as the blues. Although he is performing solo at Fringe Sunday, Dave can often be seen as a member of savage alt-blues four-piece, Radiotones. Dave’s song for our podcast is a solo track, Good Friend Blues. For more information on Dave, visit myspace.com/davearcari and his website davearcari.com
Punch and the Apostles You wouldn’t want to have to describe the diverse sounds of Punch and the Apostles, but the line-up speaks volumes: vocals, percussion, guitar, bass guitar, keyboard, violin, accordion, trumpet and saxophones. You know it’s going to be frenzied and theatrical, but nothing can really prepare you for the experience of a live performance. They are at once a punk klezmer band and a jazz group; an orchestra and a gang. Their podcast track will go some way to helping you to understand what they are all about. Have a listen to Asylum..
