The Aimless Never Miss

The Aimless began as a recording project for singer/songwriter Jon Latimer. The project attracted the interest of several close friends, and the band started gigging around Sonoma County in 2005. In 2006, the band relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area, and subsequently released two EPs on Tricycle Records in 2007 (“Oh, if they could fly”, “The Bright Side”). In 2008, they released their first full-length, self-titled album on Devil In The Woods Records. Rearranging themselves as a three piece in 2009, Latimer and bassist Andrew Macy tapped friend and veteran percussionist Eric Kuhn of Silian Rail to play on their latest ‘Tran EP’, now available on 500 Records.

The Friendly Skies
http://myspace.com/friendlyskiesmusic
This instrumental duo captures the brooding Portland raincloud sound that so many tragic youngsters have otherwise sold their soul to (re)locate near. The Friendly Skies aren’t trying to elevate their levels of Frippery, but guitar triumphs over keyboard and the energy of the room bleeds out with some several well articulated well played refrains.

The Hooks were born in a Church Hall in Rosses Point, Co. Sligo, Ireland by the two Mulligan brothers (Nigel & Keith). Ronan muscled his way in later on while Nigel slipped out the side door…
Gigs with many musical luminaries include: The Pogues, X, The Stiff Little Fingers, The Bravery, Flogging Molly,The Corona’s, The Filthy Thieving Bastards, Me First & The Gimme Gimmes.
Vacillating between the agit-driven punk rock they are famous for interspersed with galloping Irish trad (played fast loud,and sometimes Gaelic) with a twist. The Hooks recorded two EP’s (10,000 Feet EP & Irish Punk Rock Anthems) at NOFX’s Motor Studio’s with Jamie McMann. The album tracks are in the can, it’s just a matter of mixing and mastering.

FILTHY THIEVING BASTARDS (Headliner)
http://www.myspace.com/filtythievingbastards
In the last century or so, technology has greatly altered how history was passed along, through radio, television, the internet, and movies. There once was a time where storytelling came by word of mouth; from parents and grandparents, to bards that played through the villages and towns. In the era of electronic media and communication, it seems as if the art of storytelling has fallen by the wayside. Luckily, strewn through out this modern landscape are a few remaining bards who are still willing to share with us their superbly executed, original songs.
The Filthy Thieving Bastards’ songwriting duo of Johnny Bonnel and Darius Koski are two of these aforementioned bards…[myspace]

Heartache, intensity, longing, and unrequited love. These are the themes that dominate my music. I have always been a vocalist. I taught myself piano senior year in high school and the rest is history. All my songs are original lyrics and ideas. And while creating and writing songs are the most amazing things to do, I find performing live is the most incredible experience I have ever had.

The Yes-Go’s
http://www.myspace.com/theyesgos
The Yes Go’s were started by Sophie V writing music & playing songs on the guitar. In 2003, Lester Moore joined as drummer & back-up vox. With the addition of Mimi on lead vocals and Barbara on bass that summer, we became “Wednesday Night”. 5 days before our 1st gig, Mimi & Barbara (our Hungarian Hotties) were not allowed to stay in the U.S.A. (visa probs!) & we played our 1st show as a duo called Sik Suzan. In 2004, Blue Lew (Rotton Core), joined the band on bass & b.vox. We played shows off/on and had lots of fun, but we (BL. not inc.) drank too much, and we still didn’t really have an identity. Through Blue Lew’s departure in Summer 2006, it was back to a duo & the new name of The Yes Go’s fall ’06 when the multi-facetd Djuna Gray became our bass player. It’s been balls to the walls ever since and The Yes Go’s love to play (alot) & can be found playing with many local & touring bands. We are continually amazed at the talent we see at all of S.F.’s venues. We are proud to share the bill with & be awed by such killer bands. Go out and see some shows cause we support local venues and killer music as well, cheers. [myspace]

http://www.myspace.com/3leafs
“This stuff is awesome. Blissed out, effects flecked krauty space rock, heavy on the drift and shimmer and meander. Strings buzz, sounds swoop and stutter backwards, the drums are simple and motorik, synths whir, flutes flutter, the group slips from full on heart of the sun space jam, to Circle-esque hypnorock, to ethereal almost ambient groove, to Eastern style ur-drone to Santana sounding Latin tinged psychedelic rock to heavy tripped out metallic sounding stoner rock freakouts to full on trippy dubbiness, all woven into one extended and nearly seamless druggy outrock sprawl.”–Aquarius Records, San Francisco, CA

Street Light Suzie
http://www.myspace.com/streetlightsuzie
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]

From OUTER SPACE!!! The BEST BAND from nowhere land!!
Low Red Land is a three piece comprised of long time friends Ben Thorne (bass and vocals), Neil Thompson (guitar and vocals), and Mark DeVito (drums). They met in New York while in college and later moved to Boston to play in a now defunct band. After a few years they split from their old band, took a chance, and moved to San Francisco; a town that is known for a million things, none of which include a particular affinity toward anything even resembling a twang. But that hasn’t mattered much. Since their arrival to the city they have found a great deal of inspiration, not to mention fans.

High Castle
http://www.myspace.com/highcastleyayyay
High Castle is your older brother’s favorite band, assuming he grew up on a steady diet of ’90s underground rock. They produce a viscous byproduct of the jams you grew up on dragged through a record collection’s worth of sludge and muck. Once you decide to bring it, that’s kinda the only way to go.
