BILL are a rock band, started in 1987 and fronted by B Gage, a singer with down's syndrome. Bill sings surreal, ever changing lyrics in a variety of styles, blues-infected yowls to tender, soulful moans to throat singing. These different approaches reflect Bill's reaction to the diverse sounds his band provides him- including spacey art rock, thundering heavy metal, acoustic folk ballads, and stuttering industrial riffs.

People of Color: from the ashes of Satan's doorstep comes a sound the pope himself can't deny is a deadly sin. Beauty meets beast in an all out syncopated cluster fuck of raw, uninhibited emotion.

The Deaf Reverend Lemonhead is fingerstyle blues and rags.

The Devil, My Pocket are a quiet folk-influences duet from Providence.

Josh Nyberg is an alright college drop out who lets the music speak for itself!

Libythth is a one person electronica extravaganza from Los Angeles. Its synths and computers magically play themselves while frontman Qrqyt Ixoteptek kicks out the freaked broken dance beats on a compact MIDI drum kit and controls effects by playing an infrared unit with the movement of his head. The music itself falls somewhere between hardcore gabber techno and silly electro-pop from some unknown decade later in this century, most likely the 2010's or 2020's.

Bronhard/Going/Public is an electronic improv trio that has played AS220 a number of times and features members of Suffering Bastard and the White Mice. Booty bass, gabber, italo disco, dubstep, power electronics and cosmic synth jams crudely vomited out into a steaming heap of timestretched, pitchshifted grooves.

Dimitri Fergadis, founder of the Los Angeles-based electronic/noise label Phthalo and mastermind behind Phthalocyanine, was the first American artist to be represented on the stellar German experimental label, A-Musik. His first single was released on Plug Research, the one American label whose output will soon rival sultan-of-the scene, Warp. The microtonal glitch stable, Mille Plateaux, called Fergadis in for remix work on Crank's Wanton Phenomena and Richie Hawtin's buddy Vapourspace (aka Mark Gage) did the same for his "Steam" single. After Planet µ founder Mike Paradinas called Fergadis "a genius," that label released Phthalocyanine's "25 Tracks Fer 1Track" and "No One Said You Didn't" albums.

Debo Band is an Ethiopian band from Boston.

Ductape is an alternative band using elements of funk, punk, glam and pop-metal.

Dream Bitches bio: After a debut record that merely hinted at the cacophonous pop sound of 90s bands like The Breeders and The Muffs, NYC's DREAM BITCHES plunge in head-first on their sophomore LP, COKE-AND-SPIRITERS, out on Recommended If You Like Records this May. The band, co-fronted by Yoko Kikuchi and Ann Zakaluk, formed back in the fall of 2003, when the two long-time friends and musical collaborators took a drive to Atlantic City and watched a bucket of quarters pour from the mouth of a slot machine. They'd struck it rich! The first Dream Bitches song was born, as was the band.

bout A Troop of Echoes Rhode Island’s A Troop of Echoes was started in late 2004 by saxophonist Peter Gilli. After moonlighting in local ska faves Lemon Lime Tennis Shoes he decided to start a group that fused elements of improvisational jazz and modern progressive music. The group signed to their own SM1 (Symphony Movement One) imprint and was first known as Incognito until they were threatened with a possible law suit. Around this time the current line up of players started to take shape with Nick Cooper formerly of Cosmic Express on electric guitar, Harry Hartley on bass/synth, and Dan Moriarty on drums/percussion. The group has played a variety of local clubs such as The Blackstone, The Living Room, Sha-Na-Na’s, Mardi Gras, as well as DIY spaces such as Trash Mountain. Over the years they have shared stages with a variety of acts such as Fall River’s Sick Electric, Providence’s Yavin Five, and North Kingstown’s Hircine. In 2005 they recorded their debut EP "Always First Steps" at Static Productions and most recently they have new songs recorded at their home studio Cognitive Dissonance up on the web. They have been described by Providence Phoenix music writer Bob Gulla as moving from "...their initial foundation of jazz into experimental rock ala Uz Jse Doma and acid jams/hip-hop/funk like Galactic."

The Show is the Rainbow: TSITR is a band. Sometimes! Sometimes it's just me, yelling at the soundguy. Whatever! TSITR rules.

Tickley Feather is the nom de musique of Philadelphia four-track enthusiast Annie Sachs. Her self-titled debut (Paw Tracks) is a collection of Late Night path-finding sounds, gingerly home recorded using budget electronics. Selected from the past four years, these songs are washed in effects and demonstrate a barbaric yet meticulous instrumentation, along with a paradoxically, otherworldly and natural vocal style. The resulting sounds tell a secret that feels serendipitous. Previous shows include opening for Animal Collective on their fall 2007 tour.

Rich Ferri is Rhode Island local folk/indie.

Jelen is a member of Yummy Yum Yum Yum Records.
