Colossal
Yes Prog /Folk/ Rock Somehow, when untainted musicianship meets earnest presentation something happens, and the results are damn good. Widely known as the ‘drummer dude’ in Comets on Fire, Utrillo Kushner’s musical talents range far beyond the drunken-master-style wailing he unleashes on any given night with the CometsKushner assumes command of the keys in Colossal Yes and steps it up as a full-fledged piano man. Colossal Yes has existed in Kushner’s mind for years, heard only by a few close friends on home demos or at one of a handful of solo shows, these simple piano chords and melodies have morphed and developed over the years, reaching maximum clarity on the debut ablum Acapulco Roughs.If you haven’t guessed yet, this is the ‘70s. The idealized, mythological ‘70s Think Badfinger, Harry Nilsson, Procol Harum, The Band.Collossal yes are Utrillo Kushner - Keyboard & Piano, Eli Eckert - bass, Garett Goddard - drums |

Hardin Indie / Folk / Acoustic I'm really glad to be aware of your world. an undefined charm about the voice, the songs, the images, the earrings - something fragile, something real....comment from visitor |

Almaden Shamanic /Folk Michael Hilde (aka Almaden)plays very much in the hermit folk style that Kyle Field and Phil Elverum have claimed as their personal sanctuary. Songs are carefully crafted with themes of Life, Meditation and Death. Almaden is a corrosive mixture eating at the conceptions of pop and folk and lighting the bedroom on fire with dissonance. |

Joseph
Childress Indie / Folk / Acoustic "Thumps, creaks, giggles, clicks -- these are the first sounds you hear when listening to a recording by Joseph Childress. The California-born, Colorado-bred songwriter doesn't make CDs, per se, but rather lo-fi snapshots taken during his many travels across the continent. Perpetually on the move, Childress packs his lush acoustic lullabies with the wizardry of Devendra Banhart and the earthy innocence of Vashti Bunyan, as heard on his widely circulated demo, dubbed The Rebirths by his fans -- if "fans" is an accurate word. Intimate, otherworldly and hypnotically engaging, Childress makes friends, not followers, with his music" -Westword magazine |

"Who
decides The Story but for the Song and the Loom? And Who is there to
weep The Story: alone: the dreamer: in her deep-thick reverie. And who
is there to dream it, beyond the time we are given?"
