The Slow Poisoners, The Far Corners December 30, 2007

Andrew Poisoner bills himself as "the one man surrealistic rock and roll band." With a foot pounding on the bass drum and his fingers plucking a home-made guitar, he sings unique songs of weird America. Critics have likened his sound to an unholy marriage of David Bowie and Johnny Cash.

Far Corners hail from San Francisco. The band features Jonny Mac, Scott Barnes, Derek Top and Jay Bonasia.
