Sun City Girls
A melting pot of musical styles -- demented surf, Indian Rāgas, free-form noise, gamelan percussion, fractured folk, you name it -- with doses of kabuki theater, shadow puppetry, and maverick guerilla stagecraft, the avant-everything Sun City Girls were a fiercely independent and experimental trio. Their only credo seemed to be to continually stretch boundaries while remaining amazingly inclusive. This process led to a dizzying array of vinyl, cassette, and CD releases stretching over 20 years.

Orka
Far away in the hidden civilization of the Faroe Islands the quintet ORKA spent one Christmas at founder Jens L. Thomsen’s father’s farm building musical instruments out of power tools and farm equipment. ORKA soon left the farm with their self-built instruments and started their travel through Europe. “Until now I never knew there was such a thing as commercial avant-garde” one reviewer wrote. ORKA’s music is experimental, innovative and yet extremely catchy.

Exivious
Fusionmetal - A relatively new and unexplored genre in the world of metal. Exivious isn't an over the top math metal band and certainly isn't a loungy jazz combo either. But expect everything in between! With a jazzfusion backbone Exivious uses freaky metal riffs to decorate their organic eruption of free improvisations and complex rhythms. Guitarist Tymon comments: "We finally managed to transform a vision I had a long time ago into 9 intense and fiery songs. There's an immense amount of information in there that will definitely take more than one spin in your CD player to comprehend!"
