1. The Red Stripe Music Award Tour Dates

The Red Stripe Music Awards Final - 12th May at The Forum, London

The Down and Outs:
Like Vampire Weekend, The Down and Outs know how to make a melody that wraps around your life, itching the sun-loving inner Beatles fan with a vocal jumble of lyrical whips so sharp they pierce the British weather with massive beams of musical sunlight.

O Fracas:
We're still not a hundred per cent sure how to pronounce their name, but we do know that they make a different sound to most other bands in the UK. From the outlandish catchiness of their weirdo dark-pop to the undertone of vaudevillian vocals and pianos, they meet the oddball with the custom and make it sound belligerent.

High profile industry tastemakers - Stuart Clark from Music Week, Oli Hodgson from Coda and Will Kinsman from The Fly, will be making the final decision on the night, which will see one band being given the opportunity to play at two of the UK's best new festivals, The Great Escape festival in Brighton (15-17 May) and Lovebox Weekender (19-20 July), and they'll get their very own tour bus. Plus, there is the 'money can't buy' prize of exposure to some of the biggest names in the music industry.
