| T-BONE
[BKK: Nov 16, Chiang Mai: Nov 24, Pai: Nov 26]
The
recipe is reggae, ska, jazz with a distinctive Thai flavour, a little dash of
tongue-in-cheek humour, dazzling performances and a compulsive desire to skank.
One of Thailand's most internationally recognised bands, T-Bone have performed
with the likes of INXS (which named T-Bone as one of their top 10 favourite bands
in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine), UB40, Tokyo Ska Paradise, and The
Beat. | | | | | FUTON
[Samui: Nov 30, Pattaya: Dec 3]
Two Thais (funky
female bass player Oh and the alluringly androgynous front man Gene), two Brits
(DJ Bee from the radio and Simon, the former drummer of Brit-poppers Suede) rounded
off by Japanese vocalist Momo, Formed in Thailand and currently making waves across
Europe this pop-punk outfit defy categorisation. | | | | | TONIC
RAYS
[Chiang Mai: Nov 24, Pai: Nov 26]
Featuring
Marie Dance on vocals and guitar, and Joe Cummings of Lonely Planet fame on lead
guitar, the Tonic Rays continually tours the north of Thailand playing an eclectic
mix of popular covers and equally well-received original numbers in the spirit
of the new rock renaissance. The Rays will be recording their first CD in January
2007. | | | | | DIAMOND
JACK REMIXED
[BKK: Nov 16]
Five guys called Jack? All roads
have led to Bangkok for these wandering soul brothers. Who arrived in town with
little more than their instruments, but plenty of promise. Jack promises to stamp
their own brand of funked-up grooves on this year's show. | | | | | CANNONBALL
[Pattaya:
Dec 3]
Probably one of the best blues piano players in Asia, Keith "Finger"
Nolan and Cannonball not only make the blues accessible to humble people like
us, they also make blues converts every time they play. | | | | | DAYTRIPPER
[Bangkok:
Dec 16]
One of Thailand's original indie bands, Daytripper (named after
the Beatle's song) has moved beyond Brit-Pop to develop a cynical, swashbuckling
rant against the machine. We hope, you might just get some ballads. | |
