 Sylvia Juncosa Band
"Twisting turning way way-out guitar explorations and hard rock madness. Surf metal with thoughtful lyrics featuring sex/string SWA goddess Sylvia Juncosa. There's never really been a guitarist quite like her, not only in Hollywood, but anywhere. Watching here wrangle notes out of her guitar ... can be quite the transcendent experience. Rock lives, and you know what? It's LOUD. " - LA Weekly

 David Enos
"David Enos is probably my favorite local filmmaker right now, and one of my favorite artists for sure. I like his music a lot too. He has contributed keyboards and cover art to the Papercuts, and made music video for Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, but more reflective of his own sound is the duo project David and Joanna, which possesses just traces of that Lee Hazelwood-and-Nancy Sinatra magic. He's solo tonight, so I don't know if he'll be doing David and Joanna tunes such as "Dresser Drawer" and "Today's Teenagers." It should be good, though." - Johnny Ray Huston, SF Bay Guardian

 Dadfag
Vinyl release party!! On Scenic Abuse , the San Francisco, CA trio, Dadfag strive for a straight up No-Wave ethic full of driving bass, with just the right guitar noise assault. Scenic Abuse presents the right marriage between blistering guitars with very precise minimal noise and frenetic 50s acid Jazz -laden vocals. Dadfag sounds like a streamlined version of NY City’s iconic duo, God Is My Co-Pilot, working to be a moodier version of Bush Tetras. The album opens with the Glenn Branca –esques track “Interrogation” and then swoons into 12 pure tracks of solid Lydia-Lunch-inpired gold. Dadfag includes Eva Hanan, Danielle Benson and Alan Mikinis. The slow blistering track, “Water” is the most memorable track on the album, which showcases Dadfag’s anger, beauty and passion at their height. All together, Scenic Abuse is a dark, swirling frenzy that makes the listener continuously beg for more. It’s the perfect escape from the average Run-of –the mill post-punk ethic, delving more into art and visions. Scenic Abuse is the perfect Saturday night album. -Gary S. Angelo
