Boy Eats Drum Machine is a singular figure of the West. He does things his own way, thank you very much, and does those things well enough to run his own one-man gang. Sometimes his voice is low and dry like the great Oregon deserts. Other times it resonates warmly, as though reflecting off the hills. He’s a turntablist’s turntablist, robbing breaks and sound textures from vinyl even after most of his contemporaries switched to laptops. He often mixes together twangy guitars, soulful blasts of tenor saxophone, and bassy, soundtrack worthy, analog synth. He’s an artist-outlaw. |

The Decade Blues Band plays danceable blues selected from over 100 years of the best of this roots music. We pride ourselves on being true to the soul of the blues while putting our own interpretation on the classics. We also enjoy playing contemporary songs as well as a handful of our originals. As a band we have been together for about two years, but as individuals we are "well-seasoned" with over a century of combined playing/performing experience. Our goal is always to get feet moving and let the audience share the enjoyment of the music we love. |

"On their second full length, Vs. Wilderness, Idaho-based band Finn Riggins merge the dynamic tendencies of progressive rock with the quirky side of '00s indie rock. The band's pairing of these two sets of influences places the album somewhere between recent tourmates Built To Spill and classic 70s prog-rock a la Rush, or more modern progressive revivalists The Mars Volta. The album offers a range of moods, from quaint indie-pop leaning tracks driven by the group's male-female harmonies to more grandiose tracks in the mode of The Arcade Fire." -- Amelia Raitt / emusic.com |

Fleet Street Klezmer Band was born of Shlomo and Hadassah Kostenko's love of Klezmer, Gypsy Fiddle music, and Sephardic Jewish musics ranging from Medieval Spain to present day Uzbekistan. The problem was how to blend these diverse musics into a cohesive whole, immediately accessible to both a Jewish and non-Jewish audience. The solution is the Fleet Street Klezmer Band. Blending Klezmer violin, Yiddish, Ladino, and Hebrew singing, and Gypsy style guitar, with the Oriental sounds of the oud, harmonium, and dumbek, combined with Afro-Cuban rhythms played on Djembe and Conga drums, Fleet Street is a musical voice unlike any other. Together with mesmerizing belly-dancing, both modern and in the Arabian/Sephardic tradition, the result is an event that is as beautiful to watch as it is to listen to. |

Junior Rocket Scientist is a four piece from Boise, Idaho. Influenced by an expansive yet overlapping variety of music, their sound ricochets from indie to noise rock, dance and new wave pop. Rhythmic inflection and melodic syncopations are passed between the vocals, guitars, synth leads and violin lines while the driving, dancing drum and bass push the frenzy forward. While sci-fi lyrics and effects abound, a strong emotive pull is also present throughout, gluing the songs together and connecting JRS to its audience. Junior Rocket Scientist has played many shows in the Boise locale and will soon be looking to tour in the Pacific Northwest. In 2010 the group self recorded and produced an EP aptly named ep3o, which featured five of JRS' early favorites and showcased their range of sound. They are currently planning the recording and release of their first full length album for the summer of 2011. |

Boise-based Talk Math To Me is a trio of composers whose love for blues, soul and gritty rock is probably out of control. But in combining this soul obsession with thumping thunderous energy and a strong tendency toward the weird, Talk Math To Me puts those familiar sounds through a psychedelic spin cycle and brings out something old and new. Featuring Jon Fust (drums, guitar, vocals), Danny Kerr, (guitar, bass, keys, synth, drums, vocals) and Ben Kirby (bass, guitar, synth, keys, vocals), this trio is a unique experience of rotating instruments and killer tunes. |

The Fav is a multi-talented trio that hails from Boise, Idaho. Formed in 2008, best friends since high school, Matt Fabbi (bass and vocals) and Aaron Connolly (guitar) began collaborating and defining their style. They started writing music steeped in a unique fusion of rock, funk and country. After all, they have grown up listening to and being influenced by artists such as Dave Matthews, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Police. Matt is also the grandson of local music great, Monte Lee Saxton (original member of the Fabulous Chancellors and accomplished solo recording artist). Over the last 2 years, this trio has been playing the local scene and in the process has become a well oiled machine that cranks out tight, melodic grooves that gets every crowd on their feet!
