The Magnets: The Magnets present Gobsmacked!
'A SONIC PHENOMENON YOU HAVE TO SEE AND HEAR TO BELIEVE...THEY'RE A BAND TO WATCH.' The Guardian
A cappella stars The Magnets are one of the must see acts on the current British music scene. Literally a six-man sound machine', they bring their glorious harmonies and jaw-dropping beatboxing to The Patform for the first time this spring, hot from a first major stage appearance at the Glastonbury Festival and high profile appearances on Comic Relief and the T-Mobile Life's for Sharing' a cappella flash-mob commercials.
This is a show that will change the way you think about vocal harmony music. Highlights include a sultry Poker Face by Lady Gaga, an electrifying mash up of Are You Gonna Go My Way' by Lenny Kravitz and Fat Boy Slim's Weapon of Choice', a sun soaked Girls & Boys' by Blur, and an incredible medley of movie themes from A-Z, all delivered via a multiplicity of styles and vocal stunts, cool moves and superb theatrics, but absolutely no musical instruments.

You and What Army band interviewTelford-based electro-rock band You and What Army describe themselves as "having unforgivingly catchy trance synths that soar over tectonic-plate-shatteringly heavy guitar riffs, dancefloor-destroyingly awesome basslines and lowrider-cruisingly phat beats, with the narrated apocalypse rapped, sung and screamed wildly into the fray." That's one massive claim, so BritEvents' Lucy Middleton catches up with the four piece band to find out more about their epic sound.
