On Friday 23rd May, HOT VOX and MAMA present a line up not to be missed. The Garage is known nationally as London’s famous music venue and Downstairs has housed many legendary musicians over the years. Situated right next to Islington tube, the buzzing atmosphere of the area matches that of the music.

State of Play are a tantalising triplet consisting of Melissa (Missy) and her show stopping vocals, Anthony (A-Mens) and his lyrical forte and Ahmar (S.V)'s pangs of soulful melodies. These varied vocal styles are delivered with equal measures of flowing rhythmic diction, energy and passion....

On Friday 23rd May, HOT VOX and MAMA present a line up not to be missed. The Garage is known nationally as London’s famous music venue and Downstairs has housed many legendary musicians over the years. Situated right next to Islington tube, the buzzing atmosphere of the area matches that of the music.

State of Play are a tantalising triplet consisting of Melissa (Missy) and her show stopping vocals, Anthony (A-Mens) and his lyrical forte and Ahmar (S.V)'s pangs of soulful melodies. These varied vocal styles are delivered with equal measures of flowing rhythmic diction, energy and passion.

The rhythm section is a tight partnership of Kerr and Spooner and this duo of grooving versatility seamlessly transcend styles forming that recognisable S.O.P trait.

Fernandes and Kent add a distinct creative force, along with vintage Keys progressions, synths and samples offering that electronic element to their sound.

Together they map a vast musical territory and are capable of evoking, in the space of just a few bars, the laid back neo-soul swagger of The Roots, the wearied tenderness of Lauryn Hill, or the raw drive of Rage Against the Machine.

They are releasing their EP on this night, so be certain to hear your favourite SOP tunes and some new creations too!

With support from eclectically funky five piece Vaude Villans, energetic East Enders Short Stories and talented singer songwriter Nick O’Shea.

So make sure you don’t miss this night of some of London’s newest and greatest bands that are soon to be part of music history!
