TARTUFI

“This is huge. Tartufi are just two but sound like twelve. Drummer Brian Gorman must have arms like continents, while the way Lynne Angel loops her vocals makes it seem like three personalities are battling it our for possession of her throat, Hold on to your brains.” –-NME

“A dizzying construct of lunatic prettiness that exists at some extra-dimensional intersection between noise, pop, folk, post-rock and who knows what else, ‘Nests of Waves and Wire’ is a mighty strange beast…it all flows together, like a fantastic alien river." –-Rock Sound (UK)

SILIAN RAIL (cd release party)

SF instrumental rock duo celebrate the release of their new disc, Parhelion, on Parks and Records. "Robin Landy and Eric Kuhn simultaneously played more instruments than the limitations of four limbs usually allow. Landy crafted stuttering, bass-like guitar lines drenched in spacey atmosphere; Kuhn played everything else – tat-tat drums, synths, guitar, glockenspiel – and sometimes all at once. Unburdened by vocals, the guitar (the spitting image of Lennon’s B&W Rickenbacker) spoke volumes, periodically constructing heavy walls of sound via lose-yourself, blitzkrieg riffing." --Performer Magazine

Honeycomb

Local indie-folk ensemble full of pretty-voiced gals (including and nimble-fingered folks. "I was blown away at the gorgeousness of the five part harmonies of lead singer Emily Ritz, and backup vocalists Kacey Johansing, Karin Dahl, Courtney Nicole and Heather Normandale. Those vocals combined with Nate Blaz on cello, Joe Lewis on upright bass and Andrew Maquire on vibraphone create a wall of sound that sucks you in." --Examiner.com
