Electric Banana is a monthly live music club running on the 1st Saturday of every month at The GRV, Edinburgh.

Jakil, who have been described by The Scotsman as the "Best young band in Scotland"; beat off more than 100 bands to be crowned winners of the Forth FM "One to Watch" Award in November 2007.

The former Balerno High School pupils' debut single Who Are Ya? is outselling X Factor's Eton Road. The band, which is made up of singer Kieran O'Brien, 18, bass guitarist Iain Downie, 18, drummer Mike McTernan, 18, electric guitarist Jamie Robertson, 18, and electric guitarist Liam Narrie, play rock pop with a funky edge.

Any Color Black are a Glasgow based electro sleaze rock duo sounding like the lovechild conceived after a night of heated passion involving Courtney Love, Foo Fighters, Pixies, Garbage, Peaches and Metallica, Any Color Black began life at 4am after Louise and Andy took a ride in a shopping trolley one very long night in Glasgow.

Playing a host of venues, both at home and abroad (including Glasgow Carling Academy, Liverpool Barfly, London's LA2, King Tuts and Berlin's Knaack Club) and having supported familiar names such as Soundtrack Of Our Lives, Jason Mraz and INME; they have been putting lust back into distortion with their energetic and captivating live shows. Audiences are mesmerised by Louise's every word be it eloquently sexual or heartbreakingly fragile, as her powerful vocals emerge from a backdrop of dirty rock n roll riffs.

Making the decision to update their sound and perform as a duo Any Color Black have continued to develop their unique style of filthy rock in their own secret studio. Now emerging to share their new sound with the world they promise to leave you breathless, sweating and aching for more…
