Erica Nockalls is well-known to fans of The Proclaimers, who have often showcased Erica's fiddling skills live; to fans of emerging uber-cool London/Brighton combo Fink, with whom she's just completed a European tour; and to fans of Ting Tings, whose recent album Sounds From Nowheresville features Erica's strings throughout. Above all, she's become a firm favourite to fans of the Wonder Stuff, where, as a permanent band member, armed ly with a violin and a bow, she's added artistry, glamour, presence and creativity. Not to mention some very nifty and harmonious vocals. It's clearly now time for Erica to step into the limelight with Imminent Room, her debut album. Featuring contributions from Jeff Walker and The Mission's Wayne Hussey, the album is a multi-faceted, angular, rocktastic listen. With Steve Lamacq sanctioned single, Cut Them Out, and album opener, Mannekin, already confounding expectation, see her recent album teaser video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=675Px-SvotE
