THE BOTTICELLIS
San Francisco indiepop devotees the Botticellis is the latest project of lifelong friends/collaborators Zack Ehrlich and Alexi Lesterjett. Together with Burton Li and new recruit Ian Nansen the Botticellis deliver impeccable chamber pop via brash telecasters, vintage pianos and even the occasional string trio. As commanding on stage as they are in headphones, the Botticellis have earned a reputation in the bay area for the stark, beautiful intensity of their live shows. “Like the Shins, and Built to Spill … atmospheric … upbeat … in sync with the sounds of twilight…” --Bay Guardian

THE LITTLE ONES
Featuring ex-members of Sunday's Best (Polyvinyl), this touring LA group throws down brilliantly-crafted, immediately catchy pop songs (as heard on their new Sing Song EP).

HENRY MILLER SEXTET
SF's missing link between the Cure and Supertramp. "The double vocal style they use reminds me of Mates of State, but their music is completely different--rock guitars and acoustic guitars, and dreamy keyboards, and vocals dripping with reverb and at times sarcasm." --Noise Pop program guide
