The Smokestacks play with a a manic rock n’ roll soul. We play it with old and new, fast and smooth, heavy and deranged. We play it with punk and blues, with rock and funk, with sweat pouring from our brows. And man we try to speak the truth – which is usually pretty damn loud. [myspace]

The conditions of the Reaction’s activity explain both its discipline and the forms of hostility it encounters. they are interested not in finding a niche in the present artistic edifice, but in undermining it. The Reaction is in the catacombs of visible culture. Our times thus compel us, once again, to write in a new way. Some elements will be intentionally omitted; and the plan will have to remain unclear. Listeners will encounter certain decoys, like the very hallmark of the era. As long as certain notes are interpolated here and there, the overall meaning may appear: just as secret clauses have very often been added to whatever treaties may openly stipulate; just as some chemical agents only reveal their hidden properties when they are combined with others. However, there will be only too many things which are, alas, easy to understand. The Reaction seeks to convey the tenuous balance between object and action by which they maintain the tentative relations with the forces they organize, and how they are inherently subject to change, capable of resisting closure and objectification by acknowledging and engaging NOISE .

Burying ’60s sing-alongs and dance crazes beneath waves of reverb and giddy thud, Ty Segall carved out his own shelf in the neo-psych garage alongside SF compatriots and collaborators Sic Alps and Thee Oh Sees. As an exploration of the space between Cro-Magnon fuzz and atmospheric acoustic psych, Ty Segall continues to crank out the best new garage rock from San Francisco. -Darling Darling

http://www.myspace.com/weaponsofthefuturemusic
Weapons of the Future are instruments of creation. An innovative and powerful indie rock band with a touch of sci-fi, psychedelic, and garage rock. Take Interpol, mix it with the Cramps, Sonic Youth, and Morphine and you might get an idea of the Weapons Of the Future sound. Nevertheless, playing live is where they shine the most. The moodiness of the keyboard sounds and the mysticism of the front man’s lyrics are complimented by the solid dance grooves created by the rhythm section. They go through the set captivating the audience through multiple mediums, both visual and sonic.

It’s hard to convey the power of a live show through a CD, but Street Light Suzie pulls it off with seemingly no effort. Their debut album, “Red River Revival” is a raucous jaunt through everything that makes Rock-N-Roll fun.
-Karsten Kroos, Edge Magazine

Street light Suzie is a toxic trio consisting of Wiley Ross on Guitar and Vocals, Ben Evans on the Bass and Chuy Trevino on the drums. Street light Suzie began when Wiley moved to Austin from Springfield Missouri and Ben from Denver Colorado. The first handful of bands Ben tried playin with were a bunch of tools, as was the case with Wiley. So out of frustration Ben put an add in the musician section of the Chronicle that read, “looking for other musicians to drink beer, smoke pot and Rock out…” Wiley was one of the only few who responded. They immediatelly started practicing in Ben’s shitty apt. and once they had a handfull of songs down they started looking for a drummer. They went through 24 try outs (most so excrutiating we don’t even wanna talk about it) until they found Drummer 1. But only after a small handful of shows he left the band. As was the case with drummers 2, drummer 3 and 4. But none the less they made progress playing rowdy show after rowdy show. They now have landed Chuy Trevino on the drums and play shows all the time all over the United States. [myspace]

Some people say the Grannies are the inevitable end result from a society that has abandoned its educational system and lost all contact with its morality and civic cohesiveness. The truth, of course, is much, much worse. The old, now defunct Mission Police Station, San Francisco circa 1999 is as good a birthplace as any for a phenomena as degenerate and altogether fucked up as The Grannies. The blame could be laid at the feet of Fate, but Fate already catches a lot of shit just by standing around, and really wants nothing to do with something as mentally debilitating as The Grannies anyway. Somewhere between 30 and 163 years old, they were drawn to each other there in the fetid human-ish stew slopped together in the holding cells. Petty crimes involving Wild Turkey, electricity, naugahyde, Top Ramen, pigeon feathers (”fresh”), Drano, or some combination thereof would be the official reasons for the various Grannies’ incarcerations that fateful night (yes, we know, Fate, you already cleared yourself, so piss off), if any official record existed. It became rapidly apparent that the group had been thrown together for a purpose…[myspace]
