Glow: London’s Best Emerging Talent At Indig O2 listings

After 2 years of running successful live shows at IndigO2 at the O2, weve been invited to hold five showcases at this amazing venue throughout 2011. Friday 18th February sees the first of this years GLOW events bringing you some of the finest artists that have emerged from Londons unsigned scene including the incredible DiceJar, Kenelis, Chasing ORA, The Raid, and til Dusk, all showing us why theyre hotly tipped for the coming year.

DiceJar initially a solo project electrified crowds on many of Londons most reputable stages with his intricate guitar parts and colossal vocals. With the dynamic full band we see today DiceJar demonstrates influence from 90s rock greats such as Soundgarden and Smashing Pumpkins and adds a modern alternative indie vibe making them appeal to a mass audience across the whole rock scene. Amazing stage charisma and great musical talent make DiceJar a real show stopper.

Kenelis have an appealing mix of female fronted alternative rock. Comparisons have included the raw angst of Hole, vulnerability of Placebo and diversity of Radiohead. Known for experimenting with time signatures and song structures to create unpretentious memorable rock music, its no wonder theyve generated a fast growing, loyal following. Kenelis have shared the stage with Reuben, Hundred Reasons, Your Codename is: Miloand Fightstar as well as gaining exposure on XFM and TotalRock Radio. The band are playing GLOW to celebrate the release of Jealous, the first release from their second album.

With power packed choruses and thumping beats, Chasing ORA arent strangers to the IndigO2 stage. Their fusion of powerhouse female vocals and an ear shattering backline packs such a punch that we just had to have them back. With roots in Essex, the band have been systematically tearing up the London scene and gathering a dedicated fan base as they go. From comparisons to Paramore to being touted as an indie band, Chasing ORA simply buck convention and refuse to be pigeonholed.
