EAMES is a project from Melanie Krawanja and Helmut Reininger (ex-Coyoba). - http://www.myspace.com/eamesmusic - (Eames self-description)
Helmut Reininger (ex-Coyoba) and Melanie Krawanja have known each other since they went to school together, lived in the same road and shared a similar taste in music and a common goal - to play in a band. They also did this over the time, but each one in different bands.
The Castells were a male vocal quartet from Santa Rosa, California best remembered for their hits Sacred (#20 in 1961) and So This Is Love (#21 in 1962), both released on Era Records. Their sound blended light rock with elements of collegiate harmony singing and jazz and proved popular with teenagers as well as adults. Member Chuck Girard later joined the surf rock group The Hondells, and in the 1970s became a popular and pioneering CCM artist.
The Lunchtime Sardine Club is the project of Yndi Halda drummer, Oliver Newton. Debut album Icecapades is to be released in the not too distant future, Rumours and Jack Rabbits from that forthcoming album are available to stream online.
Winston Echo is Chris East, a songwriter from Northampton. He also runs Northampton based label Undereducated.
Done Lying Down's reputation for intense, energetic live performances won the group major acclaim in the British music press and a number of devoted fans. The group's sound was a mix of singer Parker's American vocal style and the British punk rock roots of the other three members of the band. Their name was adopted from Parker's previous band in based in Boston, MA. Done Lying Down's music was commonly described as New Wave Of New Wave and Punk Rock by the media.
L'ocelle Mare consists solely of Thomas Bonvalet, of Cheval de Frise fame.
His compositions as L'ocelle Mare are just as, if not more, complicated than they were during the Cheval de Frise years. The main difference is the obvious lack of song structure here.
This is not free-composition, but tediously constructed, felt-out melodies and rhythms that are played flawlessly during live performances. Every single noise and click that you hear is completely intended.
Andy Hirst and Alexander Christopher Hale met when Andy sent Alex an angry e-mail about poor customer service (to which Alex responded with impeccable customer service). Since that day they have maintained a friendship built on anger and varying degrees of customer service. Also Simpsons quotes. Now they are a band.
ChrisGoes(Australian) Billy’s new career was very much performance rather than hit driven. His group’s next albums where ‘Aztecs – Live’ (recorded at Melbourne Town Hall) and ‘Aztecs Live – At Sunbury’. The rise to popularity of this Aztecs coincided with the liberation of liquor regulations in Melbourne, bringing rock and roll out of the dances and clubs, and into the pubs. Despite or because of their volume, The Aztecs became the premier pub attraction.
