DIESEL

How we're gonna have time for all these people to play at xXx Tokyo is still being discussed. Presently we're weighing up whether to get them all onstage at once for a big We Are The World type singalong, or get them to perform against the clock, punching in one after the other in between performances like speed chess. However it turns out, big tunes are a dead cert. Our latest addition for October 11th... 10/11... 11/10, whatever way you wanna say it, is chart-troubling Aussie Sam Sparro.

Sam Sparro has enjoyed what many would call a meteoric rise in the past year, though that's not to say it wasn't hard earned. His second single, 'Black & Gold' initially enetered the UK singles chart at 23, but through some clever marketing by his label Island and an appearance on the Skins soundtrack the download sales managed to push the track all the way to number 2, whilst the album crashed into the charts at number 4 with his a brand of good-time electro-pop.
