CALVIN JOHNSON
Based in Olympia, Wash., Calvin Johnson‘s work in underground culture started as a teenage fan volunteering at the local community radio station, KAOS-FM. He moved on to writing for fanzines, organizing music and film events, playing music in various ill-fated bands. Calvin established K, a locally oriented media outlet, in 1982.
In 1993 Calvin founded Dub Narcotic Studio in which he has documented the work of the Somehow Is and Never Was, such as Mirah, the Blow, Versus, Built to Spill, Fitz of Depression, Make-Up and Little Wings. It has also been the incubator of many Calvin experiments in collaboration and self-expression, such as Beat Happening, Halo Benders, Dub Narcotic Sound System, and Selector Dub Narcotic.
The decade of the double zeroes saw Calvin Johnson set into the world, acoustic guitar in hand, as a solo artist of musical platitudes. Now that the one-zeroes have hit, Calvin is busy preparing a new album for the new decade.
KATIE AND THE LICHEN
A 5 piece pop-verisimilitudes/sister/pop-verite
Playing ukes, and melodicas, guitars and drums, and more, they
focus on the anti-pop-anti-folk aspects of the lo-fi music universe,
this includes crunching class divisions and endorsing and eating feminism.
They are unladylike. They are encouragable, endearing and effing adorable.
Danny Rebel & The KGBs:
K-G-B KEEP-IT-STEADY
What is the sound?
What is the anti-sound?
These are the questions one must ask themselves when dealing with the K-G-B, Montreals own Bastard Sons of Reggae. Entertainment is but an understatement when dealing with 5 men on the warpath, 5 men who promise to “Take no prisoners & leave no booty unshaken”, 5 men who will stop at nothing to run rhythm across all frequencies known & unknown… Gypsies of Rhythm, Gangsters of Break Beats. A band apart is no band at all, and this band together is the one, the only… The K-G-B.
