Red Sun

There are apparently at least three bands with this name... 01) From smooth, bossa-tinged, ultra fashionable tracks to dreamy yet solid electro pop, the duo of Maiko Mogi and Naoya Yoshida navigate through all sorts of twee bedroom grooves as RED SUN. Formed around 2000, the duo has released a number of albums over the years. They mostly blend singer Maiko's mid-range, smokey voice with the equally muted and organic synths.

Arch

Arch formed circa 2002 in Louisville, KY. Combining members from Adaptor and Kinghorse, the band immediately set out upon a sonic quest. In April 2005 the band underwent its only line-up change and was sidelined for one week before returning to the stage. Former drummer Alex Rose now plays bass, leaving the throne to worthy newcomer Andy Cook. The sound is bigger and tighter than ever leading the band promisingly into its newest chapter of existence.

Invaders

There are two bands known as Invaders: 1. The new band led by Joe Meredith, formerly of the Beatles-esque Merediths, is surprising not just because of Meredith’s more poppy pedigree, but also because there are few bands left making sounds like this. The Invaders live near rock music but probably won’t be understood by the AC/DC fan next door. Fans of the Sun City Girls and early Butthole Surfers will be pleased, however, to find a new psychedelic, grainy mindblast of a band.

Paradigm

Paradigm refers to at least three entities: 1) An American “prog-jazz art rock” group that was formed in 2004.
2) A British group that was formed in 2001.
3) An American synthpop group that was formed around 1999. 1) Paradigm creates anthems for the subconscious. The music flits in and out of genres and moods: at times heavy and driving, sometimes funky and joyous, and other times drifting in dreamy sonic explorations.
