THE WEST FJORDS

The West Fjords navigates the blasphemous voyage of electro-coated norse frequencies transmitted from the depths of the great arctic centrifuge to the cross streets of New York City. Centered around atmospheric and ethereal aesthetics, the sound is created with guitars, synthesizers and haunting vocal melodies conjuring images of stretched out highways under mountain stars. The West Fords are Christian Marquez (guitar), Lynsey Vandenberg (guitar/vocals), Micah Valdes (vocals/glockenspeil), Masaki Yamagata (beats/electronics) and Joel Bernardo (bass).

P.I.C

Straight out of NYC’s Lower East Side, P.I.C is a charismatic, soulful collective that plays an intelligent and robust blend of Hip Hop, Latin-tinged Funk and Ska, driven by a punk-rock do-it-yourself ethic.

THE JACK LORDS ORCHESTRA

Taking the musical stylings of pop/rock and adding in some of the subtle, sweet twangs of the Islands of Hawaii, THE JACK LORDS ORCHESTRA sprang forth as a new face on the musical scene in the summer of 2006. Since then, this dynamic group has played at venues across the NYC region and CA.

RED DATSUN

RED DATSUN is the product of lives spent in suede cubicles, shadowy bars, ambient trains, and throttled cars. Young lives rooted in the sound of the rock & roll the way the kids used to do it, and the way it used to be done. Analog, dirty, unfastidious. Naming such bands as The Kinks, Rolling Stones, The Who, The Clash, The Specials, XTC, Wire, Pixies, Pavement among their influences, RED DATSUN has developed a rock & roll sound synthesized from 70′s and 80′s roots, rock, punk, and post-punk elements.

CONJEN

Conjen are gently escorting discriminating listeners into the Twenty Tens with simple, jazz-tinged folk tunes about love, vampires, Scrabble and impractical shoe selection. With P.I.C’s Mark Concerto (guitar/vocals), and featuring Fat Tony (keys) and A-Roque (drums), conjen’s triangle offense is a fluid, unselfish and oddly reminiscent of Steely Dan, Joe Jackson, Bad Plus and Cheap Trick.
