Naked on the Vague

Naked On The Vague (NOTV) were born out of discontent with the malady of nothingness. This nothing fuels their stabbing assault of doom laden experimental punk.
Naked On The Vague, a duo from Sydney, Australia, fell into existence about one and a half years ago with a found organ, a broken bass guitar, a borrowed drum and some old doom poetry. Lucy Cliché executes distorted keyboard melodies, while Matthew P Hopkins plays brutal, psyched out bass guitar, which is all kept together with pounding drum machine beats.

Liquid Liquid

Liquid Liquid was a New York City band that was active from 1980 to 1983. Their music was essentially groove-based, influenced by funk, dub, and punk.

Yowie

Yowie, a dual-guitar and drums trio from St. Louis, have been stunning audiences with their incomparable barrage of sonic kung fu. They accelerate the progressive-rock rhythmic sensibilities of Ruins and Magma and mutate them with the shrieker side of Big Black and Slayer. The band incorporates many variations in time signature, tempo, and tuning, to create a virtual audio maze, but no matter how complex things get, their compositions remain cohesive and compelling. After releasing their debut album Cryptooology on Skin Graft, they lost a guitarist.

Tropic of Cancer

Camella Lobo & Juan Mendez, a.k.a. Silent Servant.
Drenched in romanticism and soaked in themes of solitude, mortality and love,
Tropic of Cancer's music forms a strangely hypnotic connection with its listener.
Camella Lobo's majestic vocals, warmly cradled by waves of ascending synths,
plangent guitar, and foreboding beats, summon the listener into a world of dark
decadence and delicate beauty.

AKA

1) AkA Electronic Music project was grounded in 1993 by Henri Sizaret with the aim to go further in the inspiration triggered by the work of Richard H. Kirk, Uwe Schmidt and Vince Clarke. AkA music is artificial, snappy, electronic and metronomic.
Almost 15 years after its inception and more than 50 tracks, AkA philosophy remains the intact : to be a skin (hence the name "AkA" for Also Known As) for Henri to play with music and create, freed from day light life.
