Wednesday night saw The Guardian's first ever 'New Band of the Day' gig at the Star of Kings. New Band of the Day is, as its name suggests, a daily column on guardian.co.uk/music which features a review of an up and coming band. The artists playing were Rumer, Summer Camp who recently curated an article for The Guide and Wretch 32. That's 3 and 2, not 32, just so you know.

Here's a picture of Rumer performing.

And Summer Camp.

A good fun night with the real star of the show clearly being the wonderful banner we created as part of the 'Music Loves Summer' season now running in the Guardian and Observer. The campaign launched May 13th, we talked about it here and continues for a few more months spanning many many different elements, including these.

 
No campaign would be complete without the obligatory beer mats after all. Note extremely strong art direction by Mr Ben Terrett here.

This weekend sees a series of brilliant features including the Music Power 100 list in Film & Music today, if you buy the paper tomorrow there is the chance to win 40 pairs of Glastonbury tickets and an exclusive interview with the Arctic Monkeys in the Observer on Sunday. But you knew that right? As you've seen these ads here…
