𝗝𝗔𝗠𝗜𝗘 𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗧 - A solo artist and producer based in London, Jamie Perrett has rock’n’roll coursing through heart, mind, body and soul. Initially earning his stripes as a guitarist in the original line-up of Peter Doherty’s Babyshambles; Jamie is also notably the son of The Only Ones icon Peter Perrett with whom he played a pivotal role in masterminding his creative rejuvenation of recent years. Laying down his understatedly expert skills on lead-guitars and backing vocals, Jamie also contributed his own songwriting and production nouse to proceedings to help birth the critically acclaimed releases: ‘How The West Was Won’ (2017) and ‘Humanworld’ (2019), released on Domino Records label.
Fast forward to 2021 and Perrett is stepping out of the shadows and onto centre-stage, in the spotlight. Creating songs with a nostalgic tint and a timeless feel that touch on New Wave-esque romanticism to 50s Doo-Wop and more, Jamie has been honing a solo repertoire just aching to be heard and loved for years to come. Releasing his debut solo single “Masquerade of Love” via Ditto Music to praise from the likes of Louder Than War, KEXP, Vive Le Rock, and Clash, Perrett follows the release with the equally sublime new single: “Angel of Santiago” this Autumn.
𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗦𝗘𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗧 - Upbeat, eclectic and dynamic, Houseplant are a London-based four piece who have honed their particular brand of confessional, easy-listening indie music and deliver it with technical precision. The band met at university, and feature Callum McAfee (vocals & bass), Ryan Garvey (lead guitar & production), Isaac Brannick (rhythm guitar) and Carlos Barredo (drums), fusing together their respective musical styles seamlessly; though these influences range from traditional jazz to post-hardcore and a shared passion for shoegaze. After a slew of well-received London gigs, they worked on a debut self-titled EP, released on October 23rd 2020. This collection of 5 songs includes “Underwater Love” and “Liberty”, previous live show favourites. The EP was self-recorded and produced in a bedroom in South London, intended to be an audio prologue to the Houseplant story
