Centred on THE FLY - BORDERLINE - ULU - METRO Clubs

Remember Duran - Spandau - Haircut 100...........this is a new breed with keys - mini synths - cool clothes - young - idealistic - passionate and rocking.

Check out these predominantly mini synth or keys based bands !

Air Traffic alredy nominated for best album by XFM and best new band by TMF - Mesh 29 have a top 40 single as well - Air Traffic have 3 Top 40 singles. Seven Story Down have a Number 23 in the Indie Top 30.

My favourite NNRM band that is playing at the moment is The Broadcast from Hitchin. Really fresh with a nod to After The Fire ( Sony 1979 - 81 ) great mini synth lines and getting very popular in Herts.

Really like Royworld and Air Traffic off the list and have seen a couple of the others.

Going to go down to the Borderline gig for Royworld and with Fandango releasing their single in March ( as they did with Air Traffic ) and Radio 1 all over it like a rash this certainly looks an exciting set of new bands.

Really like Royworld, been watching them for a while and things are progressing well.
