The Dogs
This is the real Detroit rock Ala The Stooges and and MC5. The Swami (John Reis from RFTC) aired The Dogs live on his radio show and started a resurgence of this Iconic three piece band that is still as raw and fresh as it was in 1978. Just finished demos and are ready to hit the studio…Just wrapped a packed west coast and Northwest Tour. Slash your face!

Mad Juana
Sami Yaffa from Hanoi Rocks / NY Dolls fame has a side band that brings a circus like visual experience…Think Gogol Bordello with a Gypsy fetish. They released their 2nd record last year and are hitting the road in between NY Dolls tours. Mad Juana are like a band of gypsies intent on entertaining the villagers. Watch your wallets and the wine cabinet. www.myspace.com/madjuana
Lady Dottie and The Diamonds
The band released its Debut CD in September and was immediately invited to CMJ. A staple in San Diego for more than a decade, Lady Dottie and the Diamonds are the regions premier blues rock and soul act. It's a dance party that goes all night. Think The Bell Rays meets Sharon Jones. www.myspace.com/ladydottieandthediamonds
Wild Weekend
Sounds like punk rock circa 1977, but led by three 20 something females and a guy drummer. They started off covering the L-A iconic punk band The Zeros (my brothers band), but now play originals. There's a strong buzz after six months of touring from San Diego to Seattle. DO NOT mistake this for "chick rock". www.myspace.com/wildweekend07
Maren Parusel
Pairing wistful pop melodies with the darker shadings of Indy folk and rock. From the nursery rhyme simplicity of "I Believe" to the Lennon-esque piano voicing of "Days in Universe"... Parusel wields a widely contrasting range of musical colors and textures to paint pictures of longing, lost love, and other non-terrestrial lyrical subjects - she is clearly avian, trapped in a human's body! She could quench your thirst for Cat Power or other pop desires.
