Exclusive News
Ladies and Gentleman it brings us great pleasure to give you this exclusive and exciting news..............
Revive's very own Laura Vane has just landed a chance of a lifetime deal to join the current UK's number 1 Gnarls Barkley.
As you are aware, Laura was scheduled to be our first act at this Saturdays "The-Bands" but due to preperations for Gnarls' forthcoming tour our line-up has now changed. Laura has stressed deep dissapointment that she is unable to perform for her many many home fans and all those associated with this event but hopes all will recognise this fantastic oppotunity.
Our congratulations and best wishes go out to Laura.
This news has paved way for the introduction of yet another very talented Southampton band, 21st Century Beatnik. Information on these guys can be found in the new line details below.

Russian Roulette
Al Siesta is the talismatic front man of south coast band Russian Roulette, a soulful, Latin jazz, five piece band. Their funky style uses Als slick R&B vocal style and the bands excellent musicianship to create a truly fresh international sound.
Al, who was born in Cuba and bought up in Russia, brings a rich and diverse list of musical accomplishments as a singer pianist, composer and producer. Al and other four band members, Andy Davey-Guitar, Jamie McCalister-Bass, Arman Kevorkian-Keyboards, and Aaron Head on drums are a truly professional alliance of talented musicans that create a new stylistic blend of modern music.
Russian Roulette's' tight grooves and funky licks provide an ideal platform for Al to captivate an audience with a mixture of charisma, vocal talents and virtuous piano playing.
Russian Roulette play an easily accessible, intelligently crafted set successfully uniting fans of various music styles. Their sound also easily converts itself to soulful dance remixes as evidenced by Al's eight week appearance in this summers, DJ influential "Hype chart"
With a host of successful gigs under their belt and several house remixes of their work supporting their cause they aim to bring their unique sound and musicianship to the capital in early 2006 before taking the show to various international venues including Europe, Russia and America.
Bossnass
Bossnass are eclectic, that’s for sure, embracing soulful melodic social commentary alongside gutsy guitar driven funk rock. To say they have elements of soul, jazz, funk, hip hop and rock is to only tell part of the story, this 5-piece blend the latter with an energy, wit and honesty sorely lacking in so much of contemporary music. With various members having previously toured with The Black Eyed Peas, Ice-T, The Beatnuts, Mark Ronson, Alexander O’Neal, Ugly Duckling, Prince Paul, Weapons of mass belief, Nate James, Gordon Haskell, The Spooks, The Pickpockets, Gabrielle, Meshell Ndegeocello, The Brand New Heavies and Courtney Love, its fair to say that the famously energetic ‘Bossnass’ live show comes highly recommended. "Stevie Wonder meets AC/DC" - Rock Garden, Covent Garden
Bossnass was born when three Southampton and two London musicians played together for the first time for an improvised gig in Southampton in February 2004. The gig went down a storm and immediately secured them a monthly residency at The Orange Rooms in Southampton while they began working on their first album. The live shows attracted plenty of interest including the likes of indie label ‘Norimaki Recordings’. Now with a 4 Track EP release ‘One touch beat commander’ available on ‘Norimaki Recordings’ the album is expected to follow shortly. And this is your first chance to see ‘Bossnass’ in all their glory on the renowned Brook Stage.
