An Indie Rock Extravaganza
Alina Simone (54=BA40' or Fight!)  from CARRBORO with full band (John
Lynch on Drums and Jenny Petrow on Cello) singing songs of love and
loss in English and Russian.

"Alina Simone, a Ukrainian-born singer with a potent and ethereal
voice, writes wistful songs laced with spare guitar playing that have
a Cat Power-like quality." - The New Yorker

Panda and Angel (Jade Tree) from SEATTLE

"On their first release for Jade Tree, Seattle's PANDA & ANGEL paints
a passively angst-filled portrait of lovelorn, heartache and
loneliness. PANDA & ANGEL's eponymous, introductory EP combines the
sedated dissonance of early LOW and CHAN MARSHALL (Cat Power) with the
melancholy-filled distortion of MY BLOODY VALENTINE and the stark
truth of PJ HARVEY."

Tiger Saw (Tract Records) from MASSACHUSETTS

"Tiger Saw is a musical collective founded in Newburyport, MA in 1999
by Dylan Metrano. It is an ever-changing group of friends, whose ranks
can vary to form a hushed duet or fifteen-person orchestra
incorporating piano, cello, horns, percussion, and a small choir.
Their simple, heartfelt songs celebrate friendship, community, the
beauty of everyday life, and love in all its forms. "

Carol Bui from WASHINGTON, D.C.

"Carol Bui sticks to a formula of dissonance, passion, dark wit and
crafty songwriting to provide heavy, charging rock numbers, delivering
track after track with hurricane like force."
-Shawn M. Haney, Copper Press

Jeremy Lev (Chapel Hill) is a fusion of pop alternative with smart
well placed lyrical composition
www.jeremylev.com

The Nothing Noise
This is a band of flighty soldiers/children/makers who saw fit to come
together and expand on something called concepts-called caring- called
strings and flings and drums and things. This is an entity of constant
shift and a lover of all things noise and music - in compilations and
sound. This is a guitar, a voicebox, a banjo and a bass, a bell, a
hammer, a drum and a violin, a mandolin, a teardrop, a shaker, and a
tambourine, a gust of wind, a harmonica, a fruit from the vine, and a
dragon scale xylophone, a cat gut, a saw, a thumb piano, and an
elephant tooth. This is everything. This is nothing. The Nothing
Noise.
