Here is a quick list of artists to inspire your keyboard playing.

Little Boots

Her name is Victoria Hesketh but goes by the name Little Boots. She has cited Britney Spears and The Human League as influences, and was also kicked out of Pop Idol. She tried a couple of bands but decided to go solo and has just broke with a debut album that critics love. Her style is electropop and plays with a band using mainly synths and a drummer.

La Roux

A duo performing synth pop songs that mainly use keyboard sounds. Ben Langmaid plays the keys in this group and they have had big success with their song Bullet Proof which reached number 1.

Florence + the Machine

More of an alterative band than a synth pop band but still in the same vein as the two more keyboard based bands above. Florence Welch is the main singer and musician who uses a varity of instruments to create an often alternative sound. Getting critics respect and also a load of radio play Florence are proving a popular hit at the festivals this year.

There lineup is:

Roy Stride – Vocals/Piano
