The Eternals
“Imagine Serge Gainsbourg, Tricky, and Lee Perry all in a band together. This might give you some idea as to their musical experience.”
– Forced Exposure
The Drapes
“…the Drapes play rowdy rock music, straight up. Drums are loud, but not death metal loud or busy; the bass-drum rhythm section complement the single guitar, played by Mcdonough with a touch of bluesy Southern rock, power pop, and the occasional punk rock buzz saw!”
– Dave Chamberlain, New City
X27 Featuring the enigmatic Rikkeh Sutton of Duotron fame and the alluring Carmen.
“…like an Atari Teenage Riot meets Sonic Youth meets early Who. Definitely completely nihilistic.”
– CMJ Bulletin Board

Chinese hillbilly, Sicilian banjo and twisted circus music with eno-ish production, conducted by Phil Spirito (rex, Out In Worship, HIM) with members of Califone, Red Red Meat, Fruitbats, The Service, and Monster Island.
Bric-A-Brac
Imagine if Connie Francis, Peggy Lee or Andy Williams were starting a pop band today. Imagine if music was more about entertaining everyone, not just targeting one certain taste or age group. That’s what Bric-a-Brac is all about.
“… A distinct and original sound.”
– Rod McKuen

THE ABBEY PUB
3420 W. Grace (at Elston)
2002 CUFF awards ceremony with musical guests Cobra Verde
“A lurid and alluring blend of high-concept ambition and low-brow attitude, the kind of soundtrack David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Brian Eno might’ve made if they had lit out for the industrial flats of Cleveland in the late ’70s instead of hanging out in boring old Berlin.”
– Greg Kot, Chicago Tribune
Kasper Hauser
“Probably too-oft overlooked, the wonderfully decent Kaspar Hauser play lo-fidelity pop music with tasteful instances of artful experimentation, achieving an overall musical complexity that¹s both singular and encouraging.”
– empybottle.com
Reagan National Crash Diet
Reagan National Crash Diet takes the burly guitars and voluminous dynamics of junky punk rock and injects them with a sense of fun. While pop flavors seep into the band’s songs only minimally, the Crash Diet sports a sense of humor that’s rare with its kind of music.”
