 Flaming Fire
"Three albums into their demented, theatrical existence as Flaming Fire, these Brooklyn synth-prog-Greek choristers continue to redefine the term "cult band." That phrase normally means something like "an obscure musical outfit with a limited, fanatical following," and Flaming Fire certainly qualifies under those criteria. But it also might mean an actual cult, with rules and sacred texts and costumes and purple Kool-Aid sitting out on the counter – and creepily enough, Flaming Fire seems like that sort of cult, too. They perform their shows in red togas and, in their off time, are supervising the creation of an "illustrated bible" with a painting for each of the good book's 31,103 verses. God, the devil and fanciful mythic creatures figure prominently in their songs, and the arrangements juxtapose cheesy drum machine beats and new wave inanity against cathartic shouted choruses. With their massed girl-group exuberance and dark, maniacal undertones, they sound like the B-52s locked in a death struggle with Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. You don't know exactly how seriously to take any of this; it's a drunken conga-line that might be snaking its way toward human sacrifice." - Dusted

 CUPIDS
"An interesting blend of noisy, gothy, art rock (think a little Sonic Youth, a little Wire, a hard electronic influence, and tons of blustery Shoegazerisms) that flirts heavily with feedback as instrumentation." - Seattle Weekly

 Kira Lynn Cain
"At the intersection of alt-country and film noir stands Kira Lynn Cain, whose lavish, shadowy music conjures up all kinds of fanciful comparisons (Mazzy Star meets Ennio Morricone! Julee Cruise meets Calexico!). There’s also an innocence and elegance to Cain’s music that feels channeled from the vocal pop of the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s that was the soundtrack to her childhood." - All Music Guide

Adv. tix. now on sale -- see below The Acorn
Spawned in the fertile swampland of Canada’s national capital, The Acorn has been creating experimental folk and music since early 2004. The project was initially the brain/lovechild of Rolf Klausener, who composed a series of electro-acoustic folk tunes under the name.
The Acorn runs a wide stylistic gamut from folksy to jubilant, interlocking guitar harmonies, vocal harmonies and song structures that oscillate between the understated and the unexpected. (bio)

 The Shaky Hands
"Chock-full of rhythmic lullabies that hint at folk standards, 1960s pop icons, and the topical colorings of indie rock." - Pitchfork
