Some info on the bands….

Alfonzo

First off we have Alfonzo, who are Daniel McGeever (Vox, Keyboard), Mikey Cook (Guitar), Chris Cook (Bass), Andrew Innes (Drums). They are a four piece band from Portobello, Edinburgh who formed a few years ago and have recently signed with Glasgow based D Set Records. They are currently recording their debut album and have played with the likes of Fratellis, Doves, Snow Patrol, Travis, and Feeder. These lads have been a firm favourite of ours for years and it’s been a long time dream to put them on! They play funked up 4-minute rock and roll anthems and are tighter than a crabs claw! This is sure to take the roof off Jam the Box and is their first gig in the Capital this year, catch these boys in a small venue whist you still can!

Blank Canvas

These young lads have been steadily making a name for themselves on the Edinburgh scene, playing up-tempo, alternative anthems to sold out crowds. Having also had radio play, with "Contained but not Controlled" being aired on Jim Gellatly's Xposure, these lads are sure to be hit with the Jam the Box crowd.

Din Eydin

Having only been playing live since late 2008, Edinburgh 4 piece Din Eidyn adds another element of surprise to the evening. Bringing heavy riffs and moody vocals to the table, the lads are starting to gain a loyal following, with their explosive live performance helping their cause. We're all looking forward to showcasing their talent to the Jam the Box crowd.

The Merchants

Young up-starts the Merchants only formed at the start of the year but have already made their mark on the Edinburgh live scene. The lads write catchy and infectious Indie Pop music with riffs that are guaranteed to get even the more reserved gig-goers stamping their feet. With influences ranging from the 60's mop-top-era to 90's brit-rock, you can expect an energetic display when they arrive at Jam the Box.

Johnny San Diego and The Naturals

Johnny San Diego rolls into town with The Naturals in tow for their first gig in the capital. Having only ever graced stages in their native USA, the lads arrive on our shores surrounded in mystery. This acoustic only 3-piece have been busy working on their live set for most of the year and come the 4th of July all will be revealed.
