One of the finest bands on the Scottish circuit just now, Popup have been keeping a pretty low profile this year, having put the finishing touches to their debut album and then immediately started work on their sophomore output without pausing for breath. With singer-songwriter Damian Gilhooly's distinctive west-coast accent it would be easy (but lazy!) to bracket them with current media darlings The Twilight Sad, Frightened Rabbit et al. However, Popup's irreverent sense of humour and witty lyricism sets them apart, and listening to jaunty break-out early singles Lucy What You Trying To Say and Chinese Burn it's clear there's much funk in this group's swagger. 
Isosceles have impressed everyone twice before at Limbo, before their spot in the T Break tent at TITP saw them championed as one of the acts of the weekend. They're now hotly tipped for the top by industry insiders, recently inking a deal with the management company that represents Arctic Monkeys, Maximo Park, The Divine Comedy, Sigur Ros, Bloc Party, Kate Nash, Ian Brown, Radiohead, Portishead and Supergrass, among others. Style-wise, they talk about R & B, soul and rockabilly but we're reminded of classic UK bands such as Madness, if they were fronted by Edwyn Collins and had just been to see Beck. This is British pop at its most energetic and entertaining. 
'Mixing up experimental folk songs with fast country rhythms and foot-stomping ho-downs, the result is unique, adding loop pedals and organs to make a tapestry of noise enhanced by perfectly timed howls and hollers! Woodenbox with a Fistful of Fivers formed in Glasgow in January 08. Since then they have had airplay on Radio 1, Radio 2 among many other local, national and international stations. The summer saw the band play at the Connect festival, Dunstaffnage festival and the best of Your Sound at the Edge Festival. Their debut single, Twisted Mile, was released in August and has helped them build a loyal following.' (band's biog) From 8.30pm in The Ballroom. Admission £5 / £4.
