"Bjorn's vocals are nothing short of excellent...He has the feathery, controlled tone and tight vibrato of Paul Simon, coupled with a serene vibe reminiscent of Donovan's early demos." -Alan Moore of Love Labor Music

The evening begins with a series of short music-related films. Then it's time for rock and roll...

The Love Kills Theory - The Prague Beat says “The feeling is almost surreal . . . Never before have we seen bohemians in awe of the same music that makes girls swoon . . . Single-handedly, The Love Kills Theory has not merely changed the face of the Czech music scene, but culture as well. Prague will never be the same.” www.xemu.com

Notekillers - Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth once called the Notekillers a "weird lost myth for some of us." Originally existing in fairly complete obscurity from 1977-81 in Philadelphia, twenty-some years after they broke up in utter frustration, Thurston hailed their single "The Zipper" as "mind-blowing" and named them as a significant influence on Sonic Youth in a recent issue of Mojo Magazine. www.notekillers.com

These unsolicited mixes became the genesis for Glasscuts, Philip Glass Remixed, which will be released on September 13, 2005 on Orange Mountain Music.

Orange Mountain Music is a record company dedicated to serving music aficionados. Their catalog of archival and new recordings by Philip Glass have been expertly produced and they will continue to develop titles from Mr. Glass’ archive, The Kitchen’s Archive, as well as recording new works by Mr. Glass and others.

Fursaxa - Pitchfork Media writes, "One can't help be transfixed by the way Tara Burke's gently dividing melodies continually circle back on their tails, as Burke uses raised fingers to trace infinity symbols across the constellations, sounding for all the world like that feather carried aloft by unseen hands."www.fursaxa.net

Spires That In the Sunset Rise (top picture) - Dusted writes "The quartet of ladies that make up Spires That in the Sunset Rise seem intent on channeling pagan ritual and sound, imbuing their music with a pervasive sense of dread, an ominous clatter that shrieks and bursts more than it gently soothes." www.spiresthatinthesunsetrise.com

Urdog (bottom picture) - Foxy Digitalis writes "Urdog is simply the most satisfying prog/psych group to emerge from our beloved us of a in many moons, maintaining a palpable energy, memorable hooks and a mythical lunacy as they conjure a new beast whose howl all dead souls should heed and maybe a few living ones, too." www.urdog.com
