Black Casino and the Ghost are an alternative rock trio consisting of guitarist Ariel Lerner, vocalist/pianist Elisa Zoot and drummer Andy Treacey.

They met last year when Elisa was working as a singer, Andy was touring the world with Faithless and Ariel was working as an engineer in a recording studio in Islington. They formed their band through a mutual obsession with the cathartic nature of music and went on to create songs are about “isolation, disorientation, lust, and how to fly a plane through turbulence without spilling your coffee”.

In true Indie style, newcomers fiN are not releasing a début album, instead they're putting out 7” vinyl double A-sides with various inventors and innovators emblazoned across the covers. Tonight marked the first of the six 7”s being unleashed upon the world: “The Artisan”/“It Changes Everything”. “The Artisan” is the serious, epic, instrumental piece of the two (i.e. BBC commercial music) whereas “It Changes Everything” is the fun one with the catchy riff. During the gig fiN proved they had the pop sensibilities to get them airplay yet managed to underpin each song with their own fiery intent.
