A Camp - Johnny Brenda's Philadelphia, PA (9 Camera Shoot)
http://www.acamp.net/

A Camp first drew breath in a forest in Northern Sweden, neck deep in snow, in the waning of the last millenium, amongst families of foxes. It began a collabrative effort between two Swedish humans : pop star and former figure skater Nina Persson, whose band The Cardigans had seen crazy success in the roaring 90s, and Niclas Frisk, a sonic wanderer who had himself enjoyed pop stardom with his band Atomic Swing. In common was a love for classic American music, and a melancholy both universal and somehow highly specific to the Scandinavian psyche. COLONIA is out now in the UK and Europe, and is released April 28th in the USA. The critics have weighed in , and as the band takes to the road they are set to lovingly burn your town down.

They are still together to this day, and are facing something of a career relaunch, having appeared on many summer festival bills in 2006.

Local singer/songwriter Aidan Hawken takes the Starry Plough's stage this evening, just weeks after releasing The Sleep of Trees, the much-anticipated follow-up to 2005's sentimental Pillows and Records. Hawken's songs are big-hearted and grandiose, handily conjuring the orchestral bombast of Arcade Fire and the heart-on-sleeve emotion of the Cure. He's joined on stage by a star-studded backing band featuring members of Counting Crows and Persephone's Bees. Glider (another Counting Crows' side project) and Patrick Winningham Band open.

You older kids will remember the famous brat pack movie "St. Elmo's Fire" and that crazy band "New Breed" on stage in the infamous halloween scene. Fast forward 23 years later and that band is the Patrick Winningham band. Same guys, only several of the band mates left poor Patrick bandless and took off and joined Counting Crows. Dan Vickrey and Charley Gillingham were stolen by Counting Crows, but as with all bands, they take breaks and have downtime. Luckily for the fans, PWB gets together occasionally to strut their stuff.

The Gutter Twins is a musical collaboration between rock musicians Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan.Dulli and Lanegan have regularly contributed to each other's projects since 2000; of the duo's origins, Dulli said "I think Mark told a journalist we were doing it, and then the journalist called me, and I didn't know we were doing it." On Christmas Day 2003, Dulli and Lanegan began work on the collaboration, titled Saturnalia.

In July 2007, the music website Pitchfork Media announced that the duo, "two of the alt-rock era's greatest frontmen," had signed to Seattle label Sub Pop.[3] Soon thereafter, Sub Pop reported a 4 March, 2008 release date for Saturnalia.

Loeb's big break came when she was discovered by actor and friend Ethan Hawke, who lived in an apartment across the street from her in New York City. She met Hawke through mutual friends in the NYC theater community. Hawke gave a tape of Loeb's song "Stay (I Missed You)" to director Ben Stiller during the making of the 1994 film Reality Bites. Stiller subsequently agreed to use the song in the film and on the film's soundtrack. "Stay" ultimately went on to become a number one hit on the American charts. When her song hit number one, Loeb earned the distinction of being the only artist to top the Hot 100 before being signed to any record label.

http://www.toadthewetsprocket.com/

So named in honor of a sketch by the Monty Python comedy troupe, Toad the Wet Sprocket's mellow, melodic folk-pop sound made them one of the most successful alternative rock bands of the early 1990s. Singer Glen Phillips, guitarist Todd Nichols, bassist Dean Dinning and drummer Randy Guss formed the group in 1986 in their native Santa Barbara, California; after honing their skills in area bars, they entered a nearby studio in 1988 and recorded their debut LP, Bread and Circus, in just eight days at a cost of $650. Originally sold as a homemade cassette in Santa Barbara record stores, the album made its way to the Los Angeles offices of Columbia Records, which signed Toad only after agreeing to the band's request to reissue Bread and Circus in its original form, without any alterations or remixes. And the rest as they say is history.

By the end of 1986, following a fall Camper Van Beethoven tour opening for REM, Chris Molla was expelled from Camper for a perceived lack of commitment, and subsequently failed to show up for Monks' engagements and so was replaced in that band by David Immergluck, at the time a guitarist for the Ophelias. By the time the first Monks record came out, David was a full time member. This line-up remained consistent until the band's demise in 1993.
