OMERTA MUSIC PRESENTS:

THE ANOMALIES
plus Habana Flex and The Rhythm Method

Hereford is more known for its apple-based alcoholic beverages than its bands. And maybe that's why The Anomalies, from Hereford, sound like a bunch of youngsters, crazy on cider and good times. Armed with a bunch of killer tunes, the band look set to take on the mainstream any time now. Hats off then to Omerta, who are bringing the band to Cardiff for a night of mayhem in September.

The band have recently gained plays from BBC Radio 1 and have just completed a tour with hip hop sensations, Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip. In their brief career they've also shared stages with Grandmaster Flash, Goldie, Sway, Lethal Bizzle and DJ Yoda. An impressive list for any upcoming hip hop outfit. Musically, the trio take in more than just rap influences. Anything from swing to big band and indie guitars get a look in on their rip-roaring, funked up sound.

Support comes from two bands. Firstly Habana Flex, a Cardiff-based six-piece who combine latin-inspired riffs, jazzy keys, piercing sax and all out head-nod hip hop. And secondly, The Rhythm Method, who veer from funk/soul grooves to indie and electro and have shared stages with Jimmy Cliff, Toots And The Maytals and Lee 'Scratch' Perry in their time.
