XAVIER CARDRICHE
BALCONYTV.COM 23/05/2007
PRESENTED BY TOM MILLETT
Xavier Cardriche was raised in a musically diverse household that ranged from his mother's love for The Beatles to his father's devoutness to Fela Kuti. Even at a young age, Xavier felt the intensity of music and soaked up everything from Mariachi to Motown.
After picking up a guitar some years ago, Xavier's been going strong since. He began playing alongside his friends, who taught him the basics, and after mastering some Bruce Springsteen and Van Morrison covers, songwriting came instinctively. Over time and numerous graveyard shifts, Xavier wrote some original songs, worked the vocal chords out, and played those fledgling songs at local New York City open-mics. The process paid off with a listening audience, feedback, and some paying gigs. Even to this day, Xavier still extends many thanks to his friends for showing him how to bring music to his fingertips.
Xavier's raspy voice and meandering tunes emote an intimacy as if you are sitting alone with him. He is greatly influenced by such artists as David Gray, Dave Matthews, Donovan, Counting Crows, Ryan Adams, Damien Rice, and Jack Johnson.
Currently, Xavier has a short demo under his belt, which was recorded in Brooklyn at Terminal One Studios. The Demo EP features all his original work along with guest appearances from talented local artists. He has just recorded a live performance DVD / CD with his band, The Buybacks, which will be available this Fall.
Xavier has been blessed with a loyal fan base of folks from all walks of life. Whether he is belting out songs in New York, or even busking in Ireland, he flourishes in each venue, however intimate or unconventional.

Presented by Kevin
Left at the robot are a five piece alternative rock band with etchings of anti establishment stoner folk.
The Robot was formed in Brighton in early 2010 and has gone from strength to strength since its inception. They have supported some great artists including the outstanding Beggar Joe and more recentlty they have done some live videos (recorded through an SSL G series console:) for Spotify which will be online for all to see soon!
In the early days the writing process mainly consisted of Jeremy, Alexi and Owen getting together with a few acoustics, ideas and tins of red stripe, then jamming til something sounded good and laying down the tracks in one of their home studios. However with the recent addition of Rich on bass and Mark on drums, that process has moved to the rehearsal room with a full band set up and the tracks are taking a somewhat different shape.
Alexi's voice has been likened to that of Jim Morrison and David Gray. Another major influence is Ben Harper, however he maintains an untainted originality which is unique to the Robot's style. Jeremy's major infleunces are Red Hot Chilli Peppers(in the 90's) and Oasis, with a bit of Hendrix and Dylan. Owen was raised on a staple diet of Jackson Browne and the Eagles. Massive Jose Gonzales fan. Rich is die hard Nirvana and Bob Marley. Loves his festivals and Radiohead too. Anything ull do. Marks a nut job but a fucking immense drummer. Hes an old boy but with that age comes an unparralled wisdom that adds a grounded calm to the overall sound environment...
The entirety of the live recording done for Spotify is available for streaming so feel free to listen and let your thoughts be known.
