Ox.Eagle.Lion.Man. is a four piece British band incorporating three former members of Les Incompétents; vocalist Fred MacPherson, Shaun Patterson on guitar, Tommy Howson as keyboardist and bassist, and Edward Quarmby as drummer.

Formed only in the summer of 2006, the band is relatively young, but has already accumulated a cult following assisted by their myspace page, despite a very limited number of live performances.

The name Ox.Eagle.Lion.Man. was derived from the book of Revelations in the New Testament, where the four creatures are recurring characters. With a foreboding sound to match, the band are clearly an odd bunch of early twenty something year olds.

In supreme contrast to many of their contemporaries, Ox.Eagle.Lion.Man delve the psychological depths, the complexities of fatherhood and motherhood. With a dark, expansive sound, the band experiments by mixing noise together with disparate musical elements, with intelligent and melodic results.

F. Lunaire is a singer songwriter who tries to "play piano like Sonic Youth play guitar" who “sounds like Jimmy Cliff Richard D James”.

Micachu is the moniker of major new talent, 21 year old songwriter and producer Mica Levi. She studies composition at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London . As well as writing more traditional pieces, she writes electronic pop songs, sometimes delivered acoustically. She has worked with a band of equally talented musicians ("The Cluster") made up of Miss Bienek, Taza, Yvette, Baker Trouble, Mayhem, Kit Downes, Ghostpoet and Kwes, but has recently unveiled her amazing new band ("the Shapes"), made up of Raisa Khan and Marc Pell.
