Electric Six is a six-piece Detroit-based rock band that plays a mix of rock, funk and disco. The band's first notorious formation comprised Dick Valentine (vocals), Rock and Roll Indian (guitar), Surge Joebot (guitar), Disco (bass, former member of Detroit Cobras), and M (drums). Dick Valentine (real name Tyler Spencer) has always been the primary songwriter (both music and lyrics) of Electric Six, currently and under their former incarnation, when they were known as the Wildbunch.
Grace Potter is a member of The Nocturnals (Grace Potter and the Nocturnals) with
Scott Tournet (guitar/slide guitar), Matthew Burr (drums/percussion), and Bryan Dondero (upright/electric bass).
24-year-old Grace Potter's dynamic vocal ability has drawn comparisons to legends Bonnie Raitt, Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin. Her unique style behind the Hammond B-3 and piano is also gaining widespread recognition.
Joy Division were a post-punk band formed in 1976 in Salford, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom. The band dissolved in May 1980 after the suicide of its lead singer, Ian Curtis. Much of their popularity/reputation arguably resulted from frequent playings on air by iconic DJ John Peel, but it is easy now to overlook the impact that the first album, Unknown Pleasures, had on post-punk music at the time, as reference the number of prominent bands that cited this album as an influence.
Brad Jones is a Power pop music producer, and singer/songwriter. He has produced music for Cotton Mather, Matthew Sweet, Jill Sobule, and Marshall Crenshaw
Clench is a band from Sweden who had their most active years between 93-99. In -93 they won swedish music competition Rock-SM (Swedish Championship in Rock) under the name Thrash Inc. They after that went touring all over scandinavia. In their attempts to wash away the branding of "another Europe" (Europe got famous by winning the same competition a couple of years earlier) they changed name to "Clench" in conjunction with recording their first album named "Goatbreath". Clench then went touring again, gaining raving reviews for their live performances.
