David Kilgour is a musician from Dunedin, a city in the South Island of New Zealand.

As a teenager in the late 1970’s David Kilgour and his brother Hamish, inspired by the independent do-it-yourself spirit of punk rock and sixties garage music formed The Clean in their hometown of Dunedin, late 80’s. Made a bunch of Eps & 45s and broke up in 81. Since the late 80’s The Clean have continued to regroup now and then to record new music and do the odd tour here and there. In 1992, David recorded his first solo CD (Here Come The Cars). Two more solo LPs followed, Sugar Mouth in 1994 and David Kilgour and The Heavy Eights in 1997. Kilgour followed that up in 2002 with his fourth solo LP, A Feather In The Engine. LPs Frozen Orange, The Far Now and more recently Falling Debris, a collaboration with poet Sam Hunt.

Half Japanese is a punk rock band formed by brothers Jad Fair and David Fair in the US around 1975.

Their quirky song lyrics often deal with monsters and the supernatural (especially as influenced by campy “creature feature” and scifi movies), in addition to more conventional themes, such as the visceral thrills of crushes and infatuations. They have stated that all their songs are either “love songs or monster songs.”

Gepe (Daniel Riveros) is a singer-songwriter from Santiago, Chile. His recordings blend folklore (some clear influences are Violeta Parra and Victor Jara), pop and electronic. He emerged as one of the most important independent artists in Chile in 2005 due to his songs of heightened simplicity and innocence, soothing vocals, and warm and gentle sound. He has released three albums, Gepinto (2005), Hungría (2007) and Audiovisión (2010) and also forms half of the duo Taller Dejao.

Django Django consists of vocalist and guitarist Vinny Neff, drummer Dave Maclean (a brother of Beta Band’s keyboard player John Maclean), Jimmy Dixon on bass and Tommy Grace on keyboards. They met at Edinburgh College of Art but formed in Dalston, East London in 2008. 

The band released their eponymous debut album in January 2012, combining 80s pop rhythms with 60s Beach Boys-style vocal harmonies, a style that some, rightly or wrongly, have labelled folktronica.

Happy Listening highly suggest you to listen to the complete album.

Their style is alternative hip hop, influenced especially by old school performers such as the Zulu Nation and the Native Tongues Posse. Most of their songs follow the creed that hip hop is about having fun and often mock the clichéd gangster rappers who dominate the mainstream.
