Paper Dress Presents: MATINEE / I AM CHARLII / YINKA OYEWOLE

On Thursday 23 May we’re delighted to welcome to our unique shop window stage…

MATINEE
http://www.matineeband.com/
Matinée are an established four piece indie rock band in Italy but they have all now bravely flown their sunny nests to pursue their London rock n’roll dreams.

On UK soil the band has played live at many key London venues including Death Disco (Creation Records; Alan McGee’s night) and the 100 Club. Their love of UK music shines through after support slots with Razorlight, Mystery Jets, The Futureheads, The Wombats, Pete and the Pirates and British Sea Power.

I AM CHARLII
http://www.iamcharlii.com/
In an era of banal auto-tuned souless vocals IamCharlii reminds us what soul should sound like with a vocal that both soars and cracks in all the right places. It transports you back in time when female singers menant passion, honesty and integrity, when vinyl crackled with the sound of Joplin and Smith and struggle meant something. Right Cord Music

MR YINKA OYEWOLE
https://www.facebook.com/mryinkaoyewole
‘The missing link between Prince, Talking Heads, and Q and Not U’…British/Nigerian singer/songwriter Yinka Oyewole carves out his own unique musical niche, adapting funk in a similar way to The Black Keys have adapted blues. Packed with insistent grooves, unrelenting hooks and super soulful vocals it’s music to be felt as well as heard.

Mr Yinka Oyewole’s influences include Sly Stone, David Bowie, Funkadelic and Elvis Costello. Yinka also draws upon his Nigerian heritage (very evident in the syncopated rhythms), weaving excellent storytelling with insistent grooves, unrelenting hooks and super soulful vocals!
