Deerhoof

San Francisco's Deerhoof mixes sugary melodies and an experimental spirit into sweetly challenging and utterly distinctive music. The group began as the brainchild of guitarist Rob Fisk and drummer/keyboardist Greg Saunier in 1994; early releases, such as 1995's 7"s The Return of the Wood M'Lady and For Those of Us On Foot, had a more traditionally harsh, no wave-inspired sound, though they also included the quirky tendencies that dominated their later efforts.

Injured Ninja

The INJURED NINJA is in itself, an anomaly. The well-honed skills of any Ninja are calculated and precise, silent and deadly, these fit fighting warriors would never be disgraced by falling in the heat of battle. A Ninja knows victory or death – there is no compromise. So one must ask, what cataclysm has befallen this one? INJURED NINJA is an epic sonic force that confronts its audience with experimental Noise Rock and sythethsized electronic wizardry creating a new aural atmosphere.

Mornings

There seem to be more than one MORNINGS (as we all know). But anyway, the MORNINGS I can tell about is my new solo project that I just founded in January 2009. I formerly run the MUSTACHE ENSEMBLE on my own and play in UGLY IGLU and M4 TRIO right now, too. I did a lot of collaborations with the great BLOODY THINGS recently, so you´ll find my solo stuff here as well as excerpts of sessions I did with him.

Romeros

Jack Perry-Brown faked his death in 1980 under his stage name ‘John Bonham’, travelled to Australia and 28 years later joined Matt and Dougy’s quest in search of the sacred ‘jade monkey’, failing this, they recruited Maddii Corey and made a shitty Indie/Noise band.

Artist Type: 

Millions

There are at least four bands using this name: 1) The experimental / drone project of David Suss, from NYC. 2) The Chicago noise rock band....
Millions guitarists Scott Flaster and Corey Lyons are quarreling musical twins whose differences set the tension on which Millions' sound is based. Flaster and Lyons' dueling guitars create a codependent relationship of angst and grandeur - the neurotic impatience of Black Flag scraping up against the anthemic melodies of King Crimson.
