SPARTACUS LIVE - Kid Charlemaine + Esteban + More tickets and listings

Kid Charlemaine
- They'll suck you into their brightly coloured world of catchy melodies, satirical story telling and unashamed power pop! Abandoned as babies at Wembley Stadium – each wrapped in a coloured tie - these boys knew that by sticking together they would be unstoppable. A short time ago whilst working as carers for under-sexed supermodels, they realised that it was their destiny to embark on an epic journey back to the very stadium in which their story began. Honing their skills of rhythm and harmony by dancing around the musically alive hills of Austria, they have meshed together like cogs in the toe-tapping machine that is Kid Charlemaine.

"Takes the best elements of ska and pop - frenetic pacing, perfect vocal harmonies, tightly-orchestrated rhythms and breaks, and combines them all into one extremely listenable sound. This band has heaps of potential - one of the best I've heard so far. If they're from the UK I can imagine them touring with either Panic At The Disco or even the The Rumble Strips, as they seem to cross genre boundaries with effortless frequency 10/10!"

Esteban
Esteban call their music Desert Funk. It's what happens when you want to dance! to get up and get down to dirty funk beats, to be taken on a journey through lyrical landscapes that transport you to the hills of Santiago and the beaches of South East Asia. Enchanted by gloriously addictive pop hooks your senses are reminded of Chili's, Jamiroquai, Bee Gees, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Bob Marley and The Police. With touring firmly in their blood, Esteban have appeared alongside Gomez, Chumbawamba and the Young Knives. On the road is where you'll be captivated by vocalist Stephen's enigmatic performances and crazy dance moves.

Sierra Alpha
Five young twenty-somethings full of complexity and promise. Eager to play, write, booze and schmooze. Already generating an ever-growing fan-base and an unparalleled reputation for their live performances, their coherent style, swirling melodies and soaring choruses combine to make them one of the 'must-see bands' of 2008.

Co-jack
An energetic four piece Indie-rock band with cutting edge lyrics and a vicious vocal delivery. The band have made a name for themselves as a must see live act in 2008, playing across the Southwest and Midlands gig circuits as well as a slot at the BT Isle of Wight Festival.
