18th August 2011 Phantom Limb, Size Nine and Nuke Bnana
Three great bands take to the stage as STAND! throws a showcasing party night. Enthralling southern soul from Phantom Limb plus horn-fuelled Latin funk from Size Nine AND dance floor beats courtesy of Nuke Bnana
Headlining are Phantom Limb, with their own take on southern soul, carrying some beautiful gospel and country influences with them. Inspiration from Aretha Franklin, the Band and the Staple Singers gives this Bristol based outfit the delicacy to convey the type of honesty that “only comes from singing about the truth”.
One of BBC London presenter Robert Elms’ albums of 2010, it is easy to see why artists such as Candi Staton, Solomon Burke, The Avett Brothers and more recently Rumer have requested Phantom Limb support them.

Support comes from Size Nine and Nuke Bnana
Size Nine is an eight piece band from South London. They combine the tightest rhythm section and the rowdiest horns behind the gritty, thought-provoking lyrics and soulful tones of Brixton’s finest songstress, Breezy Lee Ethelion.
Nuke Bnana is the brain child of another Brixtonian – this time DJ/musician Jonny Bolax. New for 2011 STAND! sought some help from Mr Bolax to describe his band – “With a blend of extreme syncopation, tribal sonics and challenging lyrics, this new group is sure to contort dance floors from here to Uranus.” Thanks Jonny!

The opening series of gigs features soul, funk, reggae, ska and R&B and clearly shows the commitment to bringing diverse and renown artists to a much needed, genuine mid-sized venue in South London. With new staging, great lighting and sound, plus the Arnhem Gallery bar open, STAND! is not only generating an amazing response from the musicians involved but also great anticipation from gig-goers of some fantastic nights ahead.
