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

"Burning Down The Underground stays true to the deep bluesy rock sound that has come to garner Jakes such critical acclaim. At the same time, however, Jakes continues to push the boundaries of sound and genre creating unique and interesting fusions of music". -- TheMusicCycle.com
"Jakes displays great range and talent as a song writer. His music comes across as an amalgam of blues, folk, and punk baring the undeniable imprint of his travels...words spill out like a ray of amped beatnik stream of consciousness. In fact, it seems like spontaneous artistic bloodletting. Somebody get this man some more canvas!" --Rift Magazine
"Jakes is intent on laying down some truly dirty rock and roll. The end result evokes T. Rexs’ mellow glaze crossed with Dylan-esque harmonica and Sergio Leone soundtrack/gypsy punk miscegenation." --Pulse of the Twin Cities
