BAD ASSETS, POWER OF COUNTY, GHOSTWRITER!
"As a devotee of country rock...there seems to be an absence of truly great bands, or so I thought until I found Power of County, a special--very special country rock outfit... has created a unique sound that has greatly enriched the current country scene" -European CMA, Pete Smith

THE BLACK SWANS with FLASH FLOOD AND THE DIKES, THE FISHERMEN THREE & SIR RICHARD BISHOP!
ON TOUR FOR THEIR NEW ALBUM, DON'T BLAME THE STARS THE BLACK SWANS!
With FLASH FLOOD AND THE DIKES, THE FISHERMEN 3 & SIR RICHARD BISHOP!
"When I say the Black Swans' songs are "haunted," I mean that as literally as the word can be interpreted." -Stephen M. Deusne, pitchfork.com
"The Black Swans have never been afraid to let their freak flag fly, standing in a long line of country and folk eccentrics like Lee Hazlewood, Iris DeMent and Merle Haggard. For more contemporary counterparts, you could look to Lambchop, Richard Buckner or Will Oldham, perhaps, but the the polarizing, hoarse-whisperer voice of The Black Swans’ Jerry DeCicca has no obvious analog." -pastemagazine.com
"Hailing from Columbus, Ohio, The Black Swans is a band that is less concerned with making music for entertainment value than it is with using song as a means to try and make sense of life’s predicaments, and to create real connections with those who are listening. The group’s latest record, Don’t Blame The Stars (Misra Records), was released to critical acclaim in May, 2010. A concept album exploring agnosticism and relationships between people versus beliefs in higher powers." - Michelle Maguire

ZODIAC DEATH VALLEY with WHITE FANG & NOT RIGHT NOW!
Zodiac Death Valley is San Francisco past, future, and present: Cactus flower romanticism junk rock echoing the hardened curbside soul of The Haight and Mission districts, dark sailor music extracted from the cold bawdy Barbary waterfront, and sparkling vibrant optimism like a Dolores Park Summer day. This is their sacred ground and, just perhaps, never has one sound put it all together in such a fashion. -Brick & Mortar
"Zodiac Death Valley is a psychedelic rock band with dark, sailor-esque songs about women, whiskey, and drugs that channels the old Barbary Coast heyday. Live, the group's raucous lyrics and in your face behavior makes for an unapologetic good time." -SF WEEKLY
With WHITE FANG & NOT RIGHT NOW!

TRICK SENSEI with MINTY ROSA!
Reverb soaked guitars, theremin leads, Portland based psych-rock-popsters... or is it psych-pop-rockers, or pop-rock-psychers? TRICK SENSEI will rock out with MINTY ROSA!
“Once it starts it never stops. The album is driving. No dead spots. There are very few perfect albums – albums like the first Ramones record, NoMeansNo’s Wrong, Rikk Agnew’s All by Myself – albums that inspire a desire to listen over and over again. Pretty Please by Minty Rosa is such an album. The voice is melodic and strong, punctuated with feeling. The music is punchy and heavy. An irresistible mixture of driving hard rhythm and melody, and at times slow and bluesy, the album manages to sound simultaneously vintage and modern. This is the second release from the band and the first full album. The production value is very high, the sound clear and powerful. The members of Minty Rosa have been playing for years in various bands in the northwest music scene and the experience shows clearly on this release. ” — David Raffin, Vision Nary

Lloyd Mitchell Canyon with Wendy & The Lost Boys!
Lloyd Mitchell Canyon with Wendy And The Lost Boys!
“There have been a few new roots/country releases in Portland recently, most of which have been low-key affairs, but Lloyd Mitchell Canyon's self-titled EP is one you should perk up your ears for...” -Casey Jarman - Willamette Week
“Lloyd Mitchell Canyon’s tremolo-laden guitars, reverby sounds and ghostly songs evoke a cowboy America long gone but also close to the heart of anyone who’s ever driven through the desert late at night or found themselves slowing down to take a peek as some dilapidated old railroad yard. These Portland Americana country rockers are J. Crow on vocals, Jeff Church on guitar, Paul Prato on bass, Bill Thoma on guitar, Christopher Evans on drums and Tricia Rojas on violin. They’re releasing a new album, and it’s classy, smoky stuff that will either make you regret your past sins or possibly commit new ones.” -P T
