TWO STAGES - STAGES A & B

(A)7:00 ETO (LIVERPOOL, UK)
Eto were formed in 1999 by two founder members of the successful Liverpool based band Jubjub - Joel and Jay. The dance revolution of the 90s - spearheaded by Liverpool's 'Cream' nightclub for which Jay's cousin Paul Bleasdale was a founder DJ - inspired a change to their earlier music. Joel was fueled with ideas and set the concept for the band as Jay searched the universe for the intergalactic samples and drum loops that now form the basis to the sound of eto. The reaction to eto's music has been phenominal. The massive eto fan base - instantly established in Liverpool - is now going global with a US tour. "I'm on my way to the Grammy's and I wouldn’t be surprised if Eto are there collecting an award in a couple of years time." - Elvis Costello
