Still Traffico present 'Stick Figure' with Paradise Taxi and Halle Payne at Old Queen's Head

Still Traffico

Mancunian school friends Cam McColl (lead vocals/guitar), Dan Carabine (lead guitar), and Connor Lilley (drums), along with London resident, Dan Arthur (bass) formed Still Traffico (formerly known as Peach) in London in 2023. 

Influenced by everything from Chanson Française storytelling to Michael Head to African desert blues to contemporary house to post-rock, post-punk and more, Still Traffico make a fine blend of indie pop. They call it “Railway Pop”, referring to it as a sound that clanks and shunts…but soothes. 

At the close of 2024, Still Traffico played a headline show at Paper Dress Vintage and opened 24:1900 virtual music festival. You can find a review of their headline set at Paper Dress Vintage below. 

Still Traffico released their fourth single, ‘Who’s a fraud?' on 10 January 2025. Further singles are scheduled for release through 2025, in what promises to be an exciting year for the band.

Halle Payne

Blending the grit of Alanis Morissette with the melodic charm of Sheryl Crow, Halle Payne makes classic, acoustically driven, left-of-center pop. After cutting her teeth in Nashville for three years, she moved to London, where she crowdfunded and recorded her debut album Forever From You. Her emotionally charged, “hope-core” perspective has drawn over a million monthly views on social media. She’s performed at the Camden Club and the Bedford with her six-piece band and is a top contender in the War Child Rising UK competition. Now, with a 20-track album produced by James Russell (Credits: Louis Tomlinson, Phoebe Bridgers, MUNA), Halle is gearing up to release her most ambitious work yet.
