Mentioned him elsewhere but Nick Harper is incredible live and I love his recorded output as well. He's pretty much his own record label but you can get stuff on iTunes or major retailers.

Several free gigs coming up in record shops to promote his new album. Just cut and pasted this from his Myspace (http://www.myspace.com/harperspace):

okay...descriptions.

tung - dope-smoking agit-rap-metal. no longer together.

pattern57 - cockney hiphop. don't know if they're together. were on mp3.com when it launched.

translaters - my old hiphop clique from highschool. there are four demos and we sold about 50 of each. the A-DATs are at my rents...I think.

miocene - miocene.co.uk or google daniel miocene for his site which may have some demos on it. art-rock of the greatest magnitude. a mini album, ep and album were released. no longer together.

carloss - '76-style punk. dunno what he is up to these days.

new flesh - yorkshire hiphop. think they're still together. google 'em.

the workhorse movement - bluesy rap/metal stuff. damned good. released an album on roadrunner. some of them are still going as The Dirty Americans...I think.

kyo jin electro-remix specialists. involved with a few 'big names'. hard to find.

victim - not around any more. good bluesyelectrometal. based in welwyn garden city and featuring the brother of...

teflonchild (when it was just dan) - some of the finest electronic music ever made. orsum remix magic too...I used to be in a collective with him

teflonchild (the band) - the same but dan now has a band :)

stoopi - polyrhythmic art metal with a unique dynamic. google them. may still be together.

alabama thunderpussy - beer 'n' fags 'n' whisky style good old fashioned bluesy rock. google them. may still be together. (if you like g u medicine, check them out ;))

machine made man - still going under a different name. I made friends with the singer via the miocene forum (subforum of IZIT...if you remember that) and he has one hell of a voice. the music is loud/quiet metal/soulful polyrhythmic stuff. orsum. three tracks and an interlude are all that exist. if I had broadband, I'd put them up for download.

DJ punk roc - electro dj and remix magician. google it.

mínus - icelandic metal gods. hey johnny and jesus christ bobby were two of the most visceral, balls-to-the-wall albums of all time. follow up hàlldor laxness is post-hardcore at its finest. orsum live too.

google has answers. I'm on a phone so I don't ;)
