Since its launch in 1999, NYLON magazine has provided a unique voice, style, and perspective to legions of intelligent, hip young women. An authority on fashion, music, and beauty, NYLON has been called "a force to be reckoned with," delivering fresh editorial with groundbreaking photography and design. St. Andrew's Hall is proud to welcome the talented artisits of this year's Nylon Magazine Tour.  

She Wants Revenge has continued to build upon the success of their 2006 debut album, which after exploding on to dance floors and radio waves across the country went on to sell more than 300,000 copies in the US alone, with their first single "Tear You Apart" becoming a top 5 Alt. Radio Single.  They have toured with such critically acclaimed acts as The Kills, Bloc Party, and Depeche Mode.

Nashville raised Be Your Own Pet's primal garage punk rock sound has won them the praise of indie critics everywhere with both of their full length albums.  Pitchfork Media described their debut self titled album as being played with "...flair and panache and enthusiasm that belies
their youth" and their performance on the recently released Get Awkward as having "...graduated from high-school sass to world-conquering."

 The indie rock of New York's The Virgins are riding the buzz off their aptly titled 2007 EP, The Virgins '07, playing shows in both the US and Europe and making waves at this years SXSW Music Conference in Austin, Texas with their danceable tunes, deft musicianship, and clever vocals.

Coming over from the UK, rising British indie stars Switches bring high-energy Brit-pop to the lineup.   After wrapping up a national tour with The Bravery and with their sophomore album Lay Down The Law just recently released, Switches have began to pick up acclaim throughout the music community combining foot-stomping drums and bass with tight vocals and sharp guitar riffs.  "These British indie rising stars have created another Brit Pop hit and are making confident future strides with their Switches Swagger."(FILTER).
