National Student Pride in association with the NUS LGBT Campaign, Brighton – Saturday 6th March 2010 – students and young people from all over the UK!

ERIK HASSLE
Supporting Mika on his current tour, Erik Hassle is the ultimate Swedish export (if you even say the word ‘Ultrabeat’ we may punish you), 20 years old and with an unruly mop of curls that would set any indie-kid’s heart fluttering, this talented young soul-pop’ster will get you running to the record shops to buy his new single “Hurtful” when its released this month!

GIRLS CAN’T CATCH
Take three feisty young girls with extraordinary voices. Add some of the freshest sounds from the cream of the UK’s pop writing and production talent.  And then there’s street-savvy attitude, a touch of class and hell of a lot of fun. The frisky threesome are signed to premier British pop label Fascination – home to Girls Aloud & The Jonas Brothers who they have also supported on their arena tours.  Their new single Echo is on the Radio 1 ‘A’ play list.

CHEW LiPS
Formed in London in late winter 2008, CHEW LiPS – Tigs (vocals), James Watkins (bass, synths) and Will Sanderson (guitar, synths) – wasted no time in garnering an arsenal of electro-epics, hitting upon a rich songwriting vein – impeccably-executed future-pop that veers from grinding electro-pop grooves to fevered howls of beat-heavy R’n’B. They’ve spent the time since on the road and in the studio, supporting Howling Bells and The Virgins, they fast build a legion of fans. They’re set to release their debut album “Unicorn’, and are looking forward to stirring Student Pride into a frenzy.
