 Matty Charles
Formerly of San Francisco, now of Brooklyn, NY, Matty Charles makes a long-awaited return to town.
"Instead of songs about sadness that leave listeners feeling alone, his lyrics and smooth guitar riffs wrap their arms around his listeners and holds them tight. Charles’ latest album, Ring the Dark Atlantic, follows three previous explorations of the dark side of life. Because Charles plays a classic style of country with such precision and heart, his songs could easily be mistaken for lost gems of the 1950s." - Santa Fe Reporter

 Gamble House
"Full of haunting melodies, and magical surrealism, Gamble House incorporates meticulous instrumentation and complex arrangements, creating large, dynamic shifts, with intricate vocal harmonies, and a mixture of electronics, woodwinds, and acoustic and electric elements." - Beat Crave

Devon McClive
Devon presents songs with soft untrained lyrics on top of layers of cello. Accompanied by an old brown briefcase, she plugs into the effects that send the sweet sounds into space with delay, looping and distortion. The songs are derived from living on West Coast waters with a taste of Appalachia seeping into solo melodies. The dark breath of the cello and haunting melodies are balanced by light strumming of folk chords and children’s lullabies. (bio) |

 Sod Hauler
"This band plays it slow and sludgy, with a hefty southern tinge happening." - Aversion
|
 Dark Castle
"To sum it up, this is Neurosis brawling with Electric Wizard on the Dark Side of the Moon." - AntiMusic

 Mute Socialite
"Punk/metal instrumental band led by Moe! Staiano, with fast scribbly guitar, ten-ton bass, and TWO drummers. Rapid-fire, agile pieces, a slashing noisy attack with thickly dissonant chords. A sense of abandon but played with precision. Solid, crisp rhythms and speedy riffs -- so you can rock out *and* enjoy your brutal harsh noise all at once. It's maybe like an instrumental XBXRX ... but I'm sure there are better comparisons out there in the world of hard prog/metal." - KZSU

 Wah Wah Exit Wound
"Seattle's Wah Wah Exit Wound are all about bashing their heads on the prog rock, as they liberally grab from the techincal precision of King Crimson and the unfiltered chaos of Japan's Green Milk from the Planet Orange. If prog is your steez, you couldn't pick two better bands to be influenced by." --Portland Mercury

KFJC co-presents! The Renderers (NZ)
first US shows in 11 years!!
"Brian and Maryrose Crook's band The Renderers enjoys a cult following in the US with the kind of country music that a character from either a William Faulkner short story or a David Lynch film might whistle while scalding a hog. Their songs are alternately knuckle-white and grangrene-black. There’s a tincture of Mississippi carried on the Antarctic wind of Port ChalmerS." - NZEPC
Brian's also the guitarist for Terminals.

 Gorgonie Time (w/Georganne Deen)
"Los Angeles painter Georganne Deen is an icon among West Coast post-punk aesthetes, and well-known to readers of Juxtapoz magazine as a proponent of lyrical dissonance and clear-headed romance. She takes women and animals as her subject, recasting them in a surreal combination of pop culture and mythology."

 Virginia Dare
Mary O'Neil writes the songs and sings them, with her own driving autoharp for accompaniment. She got straight "A"s in '98! Brad Johnson plays wiggly guitar. There's a screwdriver where the whammy bar would normally be. He played in American Music Club and lots of bands you never heard of. He likes to draw comics. He's married to Mary; they have a four year old boy named Kit. Greg Freeman was kicked out of THE CALL for his alleged affiliation with SATAN. Greg also plays in the instrumental band, PELL MELL. He is a professional recording engineer. He lives in Rodeo, Ca., with his wife Christine. The music has been called a blend of the Carter Family and the Young Marble Giants. Or was it the Velvet Underground? Whatever. The approach is somewhat minimalist, with country and punk influences. (bio)
