About Mardous friends and family tickets
Battle
London indie rock outfit Battle initially came together in the mid-'90s when founders Jason Bavanadan (vocals/guitar) and Jamie Ellis (guitar) were tinkering around with their instruments while still attending secondary school. Inspired by the likes of Nirvana, Echo & the Bunnymen , Britpop, and Motown, the two friends headed to Kent University in 2000. There, they met Tim Scudder (bass) and Oliver Davies (drums) and spent the next two years honing a quirky, energetic style.Their debut single, "Isabelle/Feel the Same," was issued by Fierce Panda in April 2005. A second single, "Demons," followed on Transgressive in September, and the 1,500 copies sold out in one day. Having already played shows with other popular U.K. bands such as the Rakes, the Subways, and Bloc Party, Battle made their stateside performance debut at New York City's Mercury Lounge in March 2006. An appearance at the annual South by Southwest convention also coincided the March release of Battle's third single,"Tendency." The Back to Earth EP followed in October. ~ MacKenzie Wilson,Rovi

Mardous
Formed in early 2004, The Mardous made their initial breakthrough not in London, buy in Paris, France. Within minutes of their first gig, the French climbed on tables and chairs to catch a glimpse of the band in action. Once having secured some Metropolitan Paris Underground love, this British three piece went back to the UK, to open up gigs for Pete Doherty, Babyshambles, The Paddingtons, The Cribs and 10,000 things.
