Shutter

There are two bands that go by the name of Shutter. Shutter (Scotland)www.myspace.com/shutterscotland
Shutter (Australia)www.myspace.com/shutteraus
1. Shutter are an Inverness based instrumental post-rock quartet from the highlands of Scotland. This remote "city" finally has something to sit up and pay attention to. Their songs progess from gentle instrumental meandering through the joint guitar of Matt and Pete into often beastly hammerings that the Deftones would be proud of.

Damsel

For the past few years, avant-jazz legend Nels Cline (Wilco, Thurston Moore, The Geraldine Fibbers) and omnipresent beat freak Zach Hill (Hella, The Ladies, Team Sleep) have been waiting for an opportunity to spend a few hours making noise. When Cline joined Wilco full-time and Hill started The Ladies with Pinback's Rob Crow, the dream seemed increasingly unlikely. And by the time Hill's full-time gig as half of Hella saw him touring arenas with modern rock staples like System of a Down, the dream seemed dead.
