Alto45 and Micah P Hinson

Marc has two acts live in session: Norwich's Alto45, playing tracks from their new album The Spectrum Sings, and Texan solo artist Micah P Hinson.

Live in session we've 2 bands, we are being greedy, Norwich's Alto45 - promoting the new album The Spectrum Sings that's James Boyce - Guitar, Steve Hansey - Bass and Joe Bear - Drums.

The guys are childhood friends who were brought together by a shared love of mix tapes, maracas and all of the mid-range audio frequencies.

In their own words: "We are trying to make music that bridges the gap between the unassuming beauty of Daniel Johnston and Darren Hayman and the electronic madness of Add N to X and Hardfloor. We're not sure if we have succeeded but people seem to enjoy it."

Plus we've got Texan solo artist Micah P Hinson a late booking but an exciting one.
