Introducing Benga & Peace

We couldn’t be more excited about the future of these two brilliant acts.

You probably worked this out already (given that it happened last year), but one of the pioneers of dubstep, Benga, has joined the Deadly management roster. With a weekly Radio One show with his best mate Skream already in the bag (and starting Friday 6th April), we’re also excited to announce that his album will come out on Columbia this year. We’ve also had the live production squad in and will be debuting the Benga live show in May. Massive.

Emerging at the forefront of a new midlands music scene are Peace, four young men born to make girls party. Steve Jobs surely would have described them as “A Players” and those who saw one of their many packed London shows at the end of 2011 would hastily agree. Tipped for big things this year by both NME (“The new Maccabees”) and The Guardian (“They put the ace into Peace”), we’re putting the guys on a huge UK tour with their debut single, Follow, out in April. Believe.

Peace announce full UK Tour and London headline show for March

Tickets for London show available here.

You know how we said we were a tad excited for what 2012 had in store for Peace? Well this is one of the reasons why. We’re teaming up with 13 Artists to put the guys on an extensive tour across the UK. Kicking off next month in Crewe, Peace will be making their way around the country, stopping off at all the major hotspots and finishing up in Luton.

Spotted on both NME’s and The Guardian’s radars, this will be first chance for many to see the band doing their thing. It’s set to be big.

Full list of dates on the click.

Peace – NME Ones to watch 2012 – Bblood Demo

Towards the back end of last year we had Peace play at the Deadly Monthly and they blew us away. We knew we’d witnessed something special and we couldn’t be more excited about what 2012 is going to bring. They’re getting tipped left, right and centre from all those in the know and you need to check them out. Their first demo is right here..

Deadly Monthly – Christmas Special!

Kicking off the festive season early, we’re delighted showcase a handful of our favorite acts from 2011. Very much a family affair (as christmas should be), live performances will come from the brilliant Carousels, Peace and Joe And Will Ask – who debut their brand new live performance for the first time!

DJ’s on the night include Deadly’s own O. Children and the one to watch for 2012, Monki from Rinse FM!

As always with the Deadly Xmas parties, special guests are often known to rear their faces so you can expect some big surprises for this one too! But to make sure there’s no riots outside of the Old Blue, we thought it best to keep it under wraps for now!

Free Entry for all! Click here to attend.

Discopolis [Interview]

Third and final part of the monthly interviews. Discopolis are next up in the email hot seat. Check out what gets these young Scots raring to go!

What are the Top 5 tracks you have on repeat right now?

YouandEwan -1988
Radio Dept.- Heavens on Fire
Sbtrkt – Trials of the Past
Deadmau5 – Brazil
We Were Promised Jetpacks – Human Error

If you could have a day in the studio with any musician past or present who would it be?

Laurie: I know Dave would probably love to go into the studio with Deadmau5 and see how he makes his kickdrums sound so heavy and suchlike. Me and Fergus would probably go in with Bloc Party and try and join in on their jams but end up just watching them. In terms of new bands, we would love to work with Dems.

What was the last album you were all really blown away by?

Laurie: The last album that I loved was ‘Total Life Forever’ by Foals which came out in May 2010 and is still on constant repeat on my Ipod.

How is the writing process for your productions? Do you all get together and start throwing ideas about or will one person lead proceedings?

We tend to go off an idea that one of us has and then build on it or just sit around playing together for ages until something good comes out. We don’t really have a specific formula.

When you’re not on stage / rehearsing / writing – where will we find you?

Probably on Dave’s computer mastering one of our tracks. We really don’t do much other than write music, we are quite boring.

Ambitions – Where would you like to be in ten years?

Hopefully sitting back in a mansion with lots of money… Or sitting back with a selection of material that we are very proud of.

Well that’s it! Three interviews down. Don’t miss seeing Discopolis, Peace and Regal Safari doing their thing TONIGHT at The Old Blue Last. Doors 8.30PM – Free Entry.

How is the writing process for your productions? Do you all get together and start throwing ideas about or will one person lead proceedings?

We have no memory of writing any of our songs ever

When you’re not on stage / rehearsing / writing – where will we find you?

When we’re not doing band stuff we just hang around on beaches and stuff with loads of girls or ice skating

Ambitions – Where would you like to be in ten years?

In ten years i want property.

So that’s that. Peace play alongside Regal Safari and Discopolis this Thursday at The Old Blue Last. Free Entry.

Deadly Monthly: Peace (Live) + Discopolis (Live) – Thursday November 3rd

In its early workings, the Deadly monthly has already showcased a hat full of emerging talent with the likes of New Look, Visions of Trees, Toy, Tom The Lion and The History Of Apple Pie, making the party a great success so far.

This month is set to be no different as we welcome two of our favorite new bands. After a tip off up north, we caught wind of Discopolis, an electronic 3 piece from Edinburgh who blew us away with their first tracks as a band (listen to the epic Zenithobia below) and we knew we had to get them involved.

Joining them will be Peace. They’ve been on the Deadly radar for a while and ever since they posted the demo of BBLOOD (below) we’ve been waiting impatiently and craving for more material!

Don’t miss seeing them both live. It’s going to be a great party. And as always, FREE FOR ALL.
