Tori Sparks (Nashville
TN)
(Rock/Folk/Ghettotech)
“Here’s
a singer/songwriter with the strong, eloquent vocals of Bonnie Raitt and the
guitar mastery of Joni Mitchell. Her second indie release Under this Yellow
Sun is a bounty of subtle rock and haunting blues…
--Nancy Dunham, Relix
“Tori
Sparks’ voice isn’t one of those passive instruments that treats a lyric
like it’s a classified ad… Here is a supple, teasing voice that flutters and
flies seemingly without effort from note to note, line to line, so that
weepy sensitivity and pleading vulnerability cozy up with tough resilience
and firm resolve so seamlessly you never even notice the mood swing.”
--Jeff Tamarkin, Harp Magazine
“Sparks
needs little in the way of effects or layering to get her music across…
strong and fabulous…”
--Jason MacNeil, PopMatters
“Under
This Yellow Sun is a sensuous blend of folk, blues and rock. … Sparks proves
herself a soulful songwriter and vocalist who at once manages both strength
and vulnerability. An assured, auspicious disc that should bring [Sparks]
deserved national attention.” [4 stars]
--Amanda Schurr; Creative Loafing
With Local Opener: KYLE WHITE!!!

The Dirty Damn Band
(Drum & Bass/ Indie Pop from Toledo OHIO)
"The Dirty Damn Band is damn funny. The girl duo's brash, gender smashing
pop - composed of just bass and drums - is witty, original and ballsy. Songs
like "I Live at Home with My Mom," Spaghetti Sex," their Saved By The Bell
shout out to "Jesse Spano" and, of course, their personal ballad, "DDB
Anthem," testify their funny, crass humor and muted ability to make pop
music out of jokes. I imagine that The Breeders' Deal sisters have a pile of
b-sides lying around that sound just like this." --Ryan Bunch, Toledo City
Paper
After being forced to endure one shitty musical trend after another during
the last 10 years--nu metal, rapcore, screamo, and whatever the fuck "emo"
is-- discovering The Dirty Damn Band feels like stumbling upon the Fountain
of Youth in the middle of Death Valley. THIS is what music is supposed to
do--entertain, enlighten and make you feel fucking ALIVE! Together, these
two young women craft simple yet unbelievably catchy tunes about pubic hair,
your mother's pubic hair, panties, Jesse Spano, "Showgirls" and other
impolite dinner conversation topics. The Dirty Damn Band are the most fun
you can have with your undies on. --Jason Webber, Editor Toledo City Paper
"The Dirty Damn Band straight-up makes my shit want to dance. And they're a
three-year favorite in the
Northwest Ohio music
scene (where I reside) for good reason: their shows are a blast. Also,
they're about the only band that I can legitimately say is less mature. than
me. From Dance or Die!!

The
Lollipop Factory (Columbus, Ohio)
www.myspace.com/lollipopfactory
We come
from Black Sabbath and musical theater. We come from David Bowie,
barbershop quartets, Freddie Mercury, and The Dresden Dolls. We come from
vocal jazz, Judas Priest, Jellyfish, Elvis, and Mike Patton. From Hedwig,
the Ray Coniff singers, Danny Elfman, madrigals, and Sleepytime Gorilla
Museum.
We are
Lollipop Factory, and we're all about the live performance -- strung across
the front of the stage, two guitarists and a stand-up drummer, all
vocalists. We are 3-part vocal harmonies, hollow body guitars through
Marshall half stacks, heavy bass riffs through octave pedals, and slamming
complex polyrhythms on a stripped-down sparkly drum kit. We're high-heeled
boots, glittery skirts, and top hats. We live to put on a performance, to
show people something they've never seen before and can't wait to see again.

The
Matt Truman Ego Trip...really! Because everyone used to be in different or
the same bands...Because they used to have two guitar players and then just
one (and he hardly ever plays) so they got another one...Because the world
is round it turns me on...Because they believe that you really dressed up
and now they wanna have a look atcha...because they are analogue attempting
digital and very clumsy...because they play american rock based on british
rock based on american rock which was really just the blues...because they
just wanna dance...NOW ROCK!

Hazard
Perry
www.myspace.com/hazardperry
Combining the hard-hitting riffs and funk swagger drawn from influences such
as Clutch and Wolfmother with Aaron St. Claire's grunge-era vocals, Hazard
Perry is looking to stomp their way through every bar in the Midwest. Each
of the four musicians that make up Hazard Perry bring their unique visions
and talents to every song, leading to a sound that melds the best from the
60's 70's and 90's. Jesse Ras, after years of listening to pop-punk metal,
has emerged as an amazing lead guitarist, capable of ear-shattering riffs
and blistering solos. On bass, Connor Brown blends funk, soul and grunge
seamlessly while steadily holding down the low end. Completing the rhythm
section is Jim Brown, a hard-hitting drummer who uses jazz and hip-hop beats
to provide a pulse to the massive riffs. Combine all of that with the unique
contrast of Aaron St. Claire's soaring melodies and you have an idea of
Hazard Perry. See them live. Watch them drink. You are guranteed to have a
good time.

Secret
Swords (Hailing from members of Stylex and Shuttlecock)
Eat
Sugar
(Electro/NewWave/ Soul)
www.myspace.com/eatsugarmusic
When it
comes to talent and creativity, Eat Sugar already has a prosthetic bionic
leg up on most other upstarts. Singer Bogosian is the band's secret weapon.
His vocals can be spastic and frizzy, as the herky-jerky music sometimes
calls for, but there's an inherent soulfulness making it much more effective
than the overly theatrical yelps of some of his peers. Poneris provides
metronomic precision with an overheated energy threatening to short-circuit
everything at any moment. Reynolds handles the propulsive synth assault
guiding the jittery burble with a mix of gracefulness and aggression.
The end results of this ideal collaboration stand up to the best Electro
Post Punk made today (in fact, they’re often as good as anything created in
New Wave’s heyday). Though clearly informed by some modern influences, Eat
Sugar's music easily passes as a treasured relic from 1979, thanks to their
love of more antiquated synth sounds and dedication to never letting the
machines override the human element and energy.

The Sanderlings (Toledo
Rock/Indie/Blues)
We're
four ordinary gents trying to make extraordinary tunes. We're also
well-versed in the songs of our forefathers, as everyone loves a good cover.
We usually gig in and around Northwest Ohio, but have been known to perform
in Akron, Kent, Louisville, Lexington, Detroit, and Ann Arbor. Available for
weddings, bar mitzvahs, benefit shows, rodeos, and bullfights. When not
playing, we can be found: packing and shipping light bulbs, controlling the
quality of world-renowned manufacturing machinery, selling gasoline at great
prices, and teaching Spanish to the leaders of tomorrow. Listen to our
music! If you like it (and want to hear us live or get your very own copy)
write to us at sanderlingsband@yahoo.com. We also appreciate mix tapes,
hand-written love notes, and SE Asian cooking. We have opened for the likes
of the Gin Blossoms, the Heartless Bastards, The Hard Lessons, the Dirt
Bombs, Cut In the Hill Gang (featuring Johnny Walker), The Loft, Dooley
Wilson, Koufax and Ekoostic Hookah as well as having played alongside some
of the area’s best rising talent at venues such as The Blind Pig (Ann
Arbor), Headliners (Toledo), Mickey Finns (Toledo), Frankies Inner City
(Toledo), Howard’s Club H (Bowling Green), Phoenix Hill Tavern (Louisville,
Ky) and Lexington’s Kentucky Theater (Lexington, Ky). Our first single “I
Heart Monogamy” has also been featured on several commercial radio stations
including Toledo’s The Zone 106.5 and Detroit/Windsor’s New Rock Alternative
89X.
