Dog Eat Dog

Dog Eat Dog made its big breakthrough in 1994 with the hit single No Fronts and the album All Boro Kings. The story behind Dog Eat Dog started a little earlier though... Dog Eat Dog has actually been around since 1990, when Dave Neabore and Sean Kilkenny decided to form a band of their own after previously playing in another band called Mucky Pup. A short while later Dave and Sean were accompanied by John Connor who was to act as the voice of the band and Dan Nastasi, who would play the second guitar.

Their current line-up includes Chris (vocals, guitar), Roger (bass, vocals, guitar at certain live shows), Vinnie (drums, lyricist), Buddy (trombone, bass at certain live shows) and JR (saxophone). The band's name derives from a dog Vinnie had while growing up, which was treated better than the rest of the family. It's also a reference to the phrase "everything is jake," which is an old phrase meaning everything is cool.

Tim Vantol

Tim Van Tol, some have called him the Dutch equivalent, some have called him an alcoholic, others have just called him Tim.
Either way he is a very talented guy, distinctively gruff voice over catchy acoustic guitar, songs about being broke, getting drunk, and not giving up on hope. www.myspace.com/timvantol

Polka Madre

Polka Madre is a musical group which has surprised its audiences with the originality of its compositions and the energy, sarcasm and humor of its live shows. After two and a half years since its conception in Mexico City, Polka Madres principle influences lie in Jewish music and the old sounds of Gypsy and Eastern European cultures. Each piece, however, varies in style, rhythm and time signature. Their repertoire ranges from euphoric polkas, melancholic waltzes to punk, rock and passages of classical music.

Tracy Gang Pussy

It all started in 2002 in Paris, when Revlon a guitar player in love with Scandinavian rock n roll and US glam decided to form the 1st sleazy punk band in France. It took nearly a year of searching in Parisian streets and shabby strip clubs to find the right people who would be Tracy Gang Pussy. They soon record 2 demos and started touring in bars and small clubs of the capital (the band even opened for Skid Row in Paris).

Gold Kids

Gold Kids saw the light at the beginning of 2006 in the city of Cagliari, Italy.
The main goal of this band was, and still is giving a voice to all those personal regrets and anger that had needed to be released. Life in our island isn’t easy due to the vast distance between the mainland and us. We are far from the many influential music scenes, in which we have to cross the ocean to reach. Touring as much as we can became our best weapon to escape from this physical and cultural isolation
