Strength is emblematic of this phenomenon that has turned many a show I've attended in recent months into sweaty piles of people in hot pink, fueled with the themes of ephemeral love and the fact that grinding has become okay again (Portland Mercury-Jenna Roadman)
The precocious child of Brit and indie pop, Seattle's Tea Cozies sound as great as any of their influences on their debut EP. Underneath the fiery emotions expressed is an undeniably accessible charm. Playful, passionate and defiant, the band's catchy songs are intelligent, strong and well-crafted (Tom Murphy, DENVER WESTWORD Critics' Picks for 2007)
The Little Penguins supported their self-released Welcome to the Celebration with a Northwest tour in the Summer of 2007. The album subsequently charted on Seattle’s KEXP 90.3 FM and earned the band a position on the station’s Northwest Music Spotlight
David Karsten Daniels newest record, Fear of Flying dropped April 29 on Fat Cat Records. Find it at Itunes and Amazon....Daniels has produced an intimate, fragile treasure of an album; an album of rare and ethereal beauty which truly sets him apart from most of his peers (Music Magazine)
On his new CD, Across the San Joaquin, Warren Teagarden takes pride in his musical influences while throwing in his own jangly versions of the classic indie rock genre. His vocals are charmingly quirky and off-kilter, and his songwriting is rooted in 80's folk-punk, resulting in an album full of refreshingly oblique tunes (thedelimagazine.com)
Got
an Apple iPhone or iPod Touch? I picked up an Apple Touch and I love
it. Being able to surf the web on my home wifi network without firing
up the PC makes it very handy. I am working (slowly) on a iPhone and
Touch compliant web site called Humr at www.humr.mobi
