MUSIC
teenage days. I re-listened to it a few years on with lots more musical wisdom under my belt and it blew me away. Since then it has stood as one of my all time favourites. Definitely in my
top 10! What’s behind the name of the
band? It is Luke’s (the Drummer) Irish clan name. It was originally spelled “O’Kassane” but we changed it a little to make it our own. Incidentally, it means ‘mother’ in Japanese. Who knew...
What is ‘No one’s safe in Soho’
about? It’s a bit of a Tim Burton-esque story about a predatorial ‘Lady of the night’ in the grimy streets of Soho. Te whole tone of the song draws comparisons between the way a spider hunts her prey and a woman seducing a lonely man.

“They set out to write fantastic songs that had you hooked from the first beat to the last chord and we think they’ve done just that!” KERRANG
If you were on my Super Sweet
16,what would your party be like? If the party were for OCASAN’s sweet 16 (it is currently about 7 years old so a way off yet) then I think we’d have to get performances from Electric light orchestra, Pink floyd and a headline act of, hmmm lets seee, something epic and utterly ostentatious... ACDC! Tis would be followed by the presentation of the giant cake that Stephen fry will pop out of and read everyone a story. Finally the evening would end with Eliza Doolittle giving me a little kiss on the cheek. Now, granted they’d all have to be paid astronomical amounts for this but you did say I
could have whatever I want DADDY!
Where can us locals find you playing next? Well you’re in luck, we’re playing all over the UK
THIS MONTH’S OUT OF TOWN TUNE!
Meet MONSTA. Signed by Skrillex;s label OWSLA, their new track ‘Holdin On’ has already been tipped one of the ’40 Hottest Releases in 2012’ by Billboard’s Magazine. Te vocals at the beginning sound very gospel, and almost like words of worship; ‘I keep holding on’, with an almost haunting choir verifying this sense of prayer, before waking you up and slapping your face with some serious new sounds.
What takes me from liking this track to loving it, is the overwhelming relationship between two genres; soul and dub-step. Te warmth of this soulful voice melts the cold, machine like production to form this new sound cast. It is something pretty epic. Check it out. Monsta. Holdin On. October 22nd
2012.
in the coming weeks. Check on www.facebook. com/ocasanuk for all our nearest show to you!
What’s the future like for OCASAN
(what should we look out for?) Look out for a banging new tune that will be on the next album called ‘Te Whitey 2 step’. I’m pretty confident it’s gonna blow your mind tank. We’re gonna play it on this tour every night. We love it!

FAULKNER HITS IBIZA’S KNIGHTLIFE
Local Singer and Songwriter Hannah Faulkner teams up with Hardcore Dance duo DJ Gammer and Dougal, for an Acoustic meets Dance showdown. Hannah’s self- written single ‘Knight In Shining Armour’ has been on the remix rollercoaster, picking up influences from the likes of Scooter, DJ Sammy, and Ultrabeat on the way round. Favourite with the Ibiza crowds during their summer tour, this track looks set to put Hannah’s vocals on the dance music scene. Got to admit, I prefer the original, stripped back acoustic sound, but I can’t deny tapping my foot to this uplifting Ibiza beat. Oggy Oggy Oggy….
NO SHAMBLES FOR NORTHAMPTON BAND
Te Francis Jetty have gone from strength to strength during 2012 and are looking to make 2013 the year where they put Northampton’s music onto the commercial map. Tey featured our October 2011 issue, when they were just starting out and making a name for themselves locally, but after spreading their wings and gigging the London circuits, they have caught the attention of all the right people.
Last month they supported Pete Doherty on two of his comback gigs and off the back of that Babyshambles guitarist, Mik Whitnall, whisked them into his recording studio to produce their debut single ‘It’s Only Love’, realeased 12th November. Keep your ear to the ground, or stereo. Teses boys will not disappoint.
You can download the single from iTunes or Spotify. @Te FrancisJetty
