Lapis Lazuli
“Swirling, jazz-fusion styled keyboards, fiery rock guitar lines, snaking sax & trumpet, and intricate rhythms make up the formula. All the instruments weave around each other, offering up complex arrangements yet highly melodic at the same time. Think Zappa’s The Grand Wazoo period meets National Health or mid-’70s Soft Machine and you have an idea of the cool stuff this band is doing here.” – Pete Pardo, Sea Of Tranquility
“These lengthy compositions go beyond the standard of standard rock verse-chorus based song structures, moving from mature Jazz inspired moments to heavier faster paced and exhilarating stretches that prove this band is undeniably capable of stretching its capacity to be more than just one sound…They play together so tightly and yet so naturally, through such a complex digression of songs”
– Kelly O’Neil, Rhythm Circus

SJ Esau
Sam Wisternoff, aka SJ Esau, has been developing his unique musical style on the Bristol music scene since the late 80s in which he was a barely adolescent MC and has been a mainstay of the music scene in Bristol ever since; his ever-shifting experimental pop works have been released on such labels as Anticon and Twisted Nerve. He is also a highly respected music video maker and through his production company Ill Spectre has made videos for bands such as This is the Kit, Get The Blessing and Thought Forms.
"SJ Esau’s sound is individualistic enough to genuinely defy comparison but if you must, imagine the unique, evocative lyrical worlds of Jeffrey Lewis or Mark Linkous but with every other line cut up by Arthur Lee, the music rearranged by The Flaming Lips, overdubbed by Broadcast, and produced by Jim O’Rourke in a bedsit. Imagine the warped lyrical pitfalls of Love sitting within Brian Wilson’s most lush yet equally warped arrangements. Imagine the craftsman-like song-destruction of This Heat’s ‘Deceit’, but if the paranoia at the band’s heart was actually all about walking through Bristol on a calm summer’s day" - fromSCRATCH records

Snazzback
After playing together for the first time in September, Snazzback have been busking the cold-stretch in Bristol, bringing the streets an echo of something else. Their songs play with undulating jazz/ improvisation shimmering afro-cuban rhythms and deep soul/funk grooves. Now playing shows inside, the 5-piece are on their way to being a new Bristol jazz force to be reckoned with.

Order of The Silver Star
