 Scout Niblett
"Beautiful songs of loss, love, and not a little bit of anger. Niblett is quicker to inform her songs with sudden surges of cacophony that erupt from behind her plaintive vocals like a pissed-off boot-boy lunging from the darkened alley of an ex's battered heart, knife in one hand, roses in the other." - Austin Chronicle

 The Dust Bowl Revival
From Los Angeles, The Dust Bowl Revival are part Chicago blues romp, part honky-tonk stomp, part old timey swing, part modern Americana, in short: music to snap your fingers to. (bio)

 Twin Crystals
Vancouver's Twin Crystals "wreak serious havoc. 'Punk Heart' is a tried-and-true anthem that nods back to the blown-out alt of the Screamers and Wipers. Brimming with harsh, electric current and buzzsaw electronics, the song has a J. Mascis-like lead that'll wrap around your face and scorch you. 'Witness' is one helluva of an afterburner: as Taylarr unloads into the mic with unchecked rabidity, its raw primitive roots and sludgy demeanor rattle the speaker cones." - SF Bay Guardian

 Long Legged Woman
"This Bay Area-via-Atlanta band make decisive, breakneck fuzz-rock that bombinates within your skull. They may have forfeited genteel manners for S.F.-style supersonic lust, matched with hallucinatory screams, but the Southern influence still pops up in LLW's eclectic mix of blues allied with psych jams, which are washed over in waves of noisy reverb." - SF Gate

 Mammatus
"Living far off the rock 'n' roll grid, amid the apple trees and redwoods of the Santa Cruz Mountain foothills in rural Corralitos, the homegrown psychedelic explorers of Mammatus aren't afraid to roam widely, away from the neon brights and skinny pants of the cool-kid crowd - especially when it comes to digging up acid-rock riffs hazily reminiscent of heroes like Black Sabbath and Comets on Fire." - SF Gate

 Cave
Chicago's CAVE: "Killer spaced out, sweat soaked, dual drummered, kraut flecked, blown out basement hypnojams." - Aquarius Records
"Indebted to groovy jammers like Can and crusty freefest chuggers Like Hawkwind, their gigs are a damn party and not to be missed." - Plastic Crimewave

 Prize Hog
Their cd-r is 5 long songs, each one a slow building, brooding chunk of slow motion heaviness. It's metallic, but not really metal, heavy and sludgey and dark, but with weird bits of epicness and majesty mixed in. Plus Prizehog have a lot more spaciness going on, lots of swirl and shimmer, long drawn out stretches of dark drift, rumbling low end and ominous dronescapes, often sprawling into moody abstract slowcore drifts, peppered with synths, skeletal rhythms and blooping bleeping effects, that slowcore sometimes sounding almost like a blackened doom metal, before returning to their glacial downtuned pound, impossibly slow crawls through near static metal riffage, and squalls of drum splatter, and a howled guttural voice that sounds like it's gargling glass and spitting blood, the whole band a lumbering beast, lurching from chord to chord, note to note, occasionally pausing to rest beneath the glimmering starlight, before rising again to continue on its path of utter destruction." - Aquarius Records

early show w/Dzjenghis Khan et al -- 6:00pm, $5 Dzjenghis Khan
Much like labelmates Orange Sunshine, Dzjenghis Khan kicks out the jams with some heady '60's garage rock that lays on the Blue Cheer fuzz with the slinky, rumbling grooves of the lost grail bands like Leafhound, Dust, and Road. And while the three-piece keeps most of the songs short 'n' sweet, they're not afraid of cutting loose with an extended jam (as is the case with "Rosie"), nor do they back away from some acoustic prettiness (closer "Sister Dorien"). But by and large Dzjenghis Khan is one well worn boot to the backside. This is the real deal! - Stoner Rock.com
