Cybersound Featured Artists

Welcome to our featured artists page Introducing you to some of the colourful and varied clients who currently frequent Cybersound's hallowed rehearsal rooms
The Capelle Sound takes root in breakbeats, choppy guitars, ethnic instrumentation and thumping basslines. Out in front is Nic Capelle, the bands namesake that actually translates as "a small private orchestra". Nic slaps audiences around the face with his powerful voice, which is often compared to Tom Jones or David Byrne in his Talking Heads days. Slovakian guitarist Paul Gregor provides an eloquent subtext to Nic Capelle's epic songwriting. This fiercely ambitious group are clearly on the up, having made the final of the O2 unsigned bands competition. "Looking In A Mirror", the track selected by the o2 panel is definately a favourite at gigs. "I try to write songs with meaning" says Nic Capelle. "I started experimenting with music when I found a bunch of records belonging to my Grandad. Classics such as Louis Armstrong, Nina Simone, and B B King. It kinda grew from there". They played a cracking gig at 02 wireless in June and wowed the audience during their main stage slot at the Nozstock festival in July. Recent gigs have included The Clapham Grand, Notting Hill Arts Club and Barfly. There's no doubt the reflection in the mirror is one of imminent success for Capelle!	Capelle
	Its late 2006 and sitting around a rehearsal room somewhere in Deptford are Even Thieves, their first gathering initiated with a phone call between friends with expectations of putting together a band.... Split between S.E London & Maidstone they got to work on what little material they had, making Deptford their base during the months to follow. It wasn't long before the songs started to come and a unique sound & style surfaced giving them incentive to put on their first show. After only 9 very busy months which have included XFM Airplay, exclusive live shows to crowds of 2000 at Billingsgate, regular gigs at respected venues such as Barfly Camden, Dublin Castle, & securing future gigs at Carling Islington Academy & the Café Royal, Even Thieves are continuing to raise their game, playing bigger, playing better, but always with the same intensions that brought them together originally... to make the best music they can & have some fun along the way!!

	Hailing from Deptford , THE PHOBICS were formed in the winter of 1999. rising from the ashes of Living in Texas, Bad Karma Beckons, The Barbs, Rumorosa and Dirty Harry. These musical misfits have bin around the block, and know their three chord punk rock 'n' roll chops. Think back to a time when Garage meant The Sonics,The Seeds, Roky Erickson et al, – trashy guitars, cars and girls. In the last year alone The Phobics have been wowing the London punk scene and picking up new fans with well-received gigs with likes of The Star Spangles, Midnight Creeps and The Fleshies from America.
