The Illness
http://www.myspace.com/theillness
The Illness brings a new sound to the progressive rock world. The classic foundations are there; complexity, energy, and power. Fueled by the amalgamation of distinct talents the band shatters the conventional rock template. Comprised of veterans of San Francisco’s diverse music scene, the Illness creates a new sensibility in a genre that has a history of abuse. Viscous rhythms flow freely into focused streams of guitars to burn a hole in tradition and give any punk, metalhead or prog-rocker a moment of pause. Don’t worry about catching The Illness; chances are you already have it.

We have spent the last several months recording all of our band practices and exploring different ideas.. What we have come up with is a large catalog of improvisational tunes ranging from soft jazz, to frenetic fusion, to rock and roll. We hope that you enjoy.. We have still be writing more of our typical mind straining, bone crushing material you have heard from us in the past, but we are also pushing our musical boundaries and exploring new territory. Please enjoy..

“A virtuoso of acoustic upright double bass, Whiton slaps, bows, maneuvers, and manipulates his instrument with orchestral precision and street-corner desperation.” –Silke Tudor, SF Weekly, SF, CA
He has invented and developed a right-hand slap technique that is absolutely his own. He uses effects widely, transforming the wooden sound of his upright bass into caterwauling, distorted wah-wah, electronica synth rubberized wet bass, buzzsaw distortion. He orchestrates the rhythm section around the textures he pulls out of his bass. Above all, he is tasteful, building space into groove and playing with an attention to the whole.

The Grannies
http://www.myspace.com/thegrannies
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]
