NEN Presents: Phantom Runners, Faux, Sahara

NEN Presents brings you Phantom Runners, Faux, and Sahara, 14 April in London. With new wave-influenced indie and rock on the billing, we've handpicked 3 acts destined for greatness, who are pushing the envelope in 2016.

NEN Presents is the first 2016 band showcase from leading new music blog, Never Enough Notes.

With new wave-influenced indie and rock on the billing, we've handpicked 3 acts we believe are destined for big things in 2015. But everyone is saying that - so just come and see for yourself.

NEN is multi-award nominated and has featured on BBC 6Music, Sky TV, Loaded and much more, recently ranked in Style of Sound's 100 Most Influential Online Indie and Alternative Music Publications in the World, and the magazine continues to thrive, exploring and exhibiting the best in exciting new sounds.

For our first new music heads-up of 2016 (we've previously held events at SXSW and more), we've picked a great selection of artists for your ears at The Good Ship, Kilburn, London, on Thursday 14 April.

// Headliner: Phantom Runners

Phantom Runners, signed to Island Records, embarked on a headline UK tour at the end of 2015. These new wave popsters have performed alongside the likes of Ten Fé, Jaws, and at Brighton's The Great Escape Festival in 2015. New music is promised for the near future, and we think they are the perfect band for a headline slot. Enjoy!

// Faux

Faux are hot to watch in 2016. Their debut EP 'Patterns' was released in January 2015 via Close To Home Records, followed by single 'Swimmingly', and they completed recording their second EP towards the end of last year. Faux have performed alongside the likes of Tellison, Yearbook and Colt 45, and are embarking on their first European tour in March 2016 before playing NEN Presents. We recommend their cover of The 1975's 'Sex'.

// Sahara

Sahara are due to release their debut EP, 'Amour', on 7th February, featuring brand new single 'Say The Right Thing'. The band have performed alongside the likes of Youth Club, Glass Caves, Lisbon, and performed at last year's Somersault Festival. This band are deemed for big things, currently loved by the BBC, and we are excited to have these boys on the bill.
