We're an instrumental band from West Chester/Reading PA and we totally love what we do and the people who support us.
The Defog is a Philadelphia-based indie rock band.
Rocket Miner is an instrumental rock band from Chicago. Already drawing comparisons to genre staples Mogwai, Russian Circles, and Mono, their dramatic, grandiose songs are rich with dynamic layers and heavy rhythms.
Whether on tape or on stage, the party pours forth lush emotion, lyrical labyrinths and soaring riffs, winning hearts and minds at shows across the city and along the northeast corridor.

It is, in its physical makeup, a group of musicians from two different cultures and traditions- jazz and rock kids from white America, and gospel/R&B kids from black America. This convergence, which occurred while the band was in its adolescence at the University of North Texas, has naturally established a series of combinations and a system of balance that instantly draws listeners to the music- raw funk and sensitive dynamics, relentless pocket and lyrical melodicism, lush harmony and soulful simplicity, and most importantly, a delicate mixture of composition and improvisation.

Oh, BTW - A limited number of tickets have just been released for the show, get them now before it sells out!***

Henry Wolfe
Los Angeles songwriter Henry Wolfe lives in the past. His assuredly understated debut LP "Linda Vista" looks back to pop music of bygone days for inspiration, from Tin Pan Alley to the 1970s heyday of the singer-songwriter. Produced by Nico Aglietti and Aaron Older (Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes) the album was mostly recorded in live takes with Wolfe and his backing band playing together in the studio. The result is a loose dressed-down affair, a mash-up of Chet Baker and Neil Young that My Old Kentucky Blog calls "...the perfect confection of Broadway sass and breezy California folk."
