Sugar Town Presents, A Night of Lady Rockers & DJ's:
PARADISE ISLAND (Jenny Hoyston of Erase Errata) http://www.southern.com/southern/band/HOYST/press/ (Includes hi res photos) http://www.myspace.com/jennyhoystonparadiseisland
Jenny Hoyston made one killer guitar record last year with her band, the Bay Area grrrl punks Erase Errata. Although they used to get lumped in with the New Wave revival, Erase Errata cut their own twisted road on Nightlife -- at a recent show in Brooklyn, guitar freaks crowded by the side of the stage just to watch Hoyston's hands move. This solo project is basically a victory lap: Hoyston, who also has sung in Anxious Rats with Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon, tries a few new rhythmic experiments with her signature spazzy post-punk guitar.
She grinds out some math-rock grooves ("Spell D-O-G"), mucks around with engaging low-tech synth pop ("Everyone's Alone") and even strums a surprisingly tough acoustic tune, the four-track bedroom ballad "Break Apart, Reattach." But the strongest moment has to be "Novelist"
-- Hoyston murmurs, "I did not die in vain," while her jittery guitar twitches like a nerve on fire. (Rob Sheffield, Rolling Stone)
GEMINI WOLF
http://www.myspace.com/geminiwolf
Calling Gemini Wolf an electronic rock act is like saying Noam Chomsky's just a linguist. It's not enough. This blip-folksy duo — Pandar and Mikronesia — expanded the initial tinyness of their pastoral synth-sound to make something soulful and sweeping. You could blame the addition of a dub-hungry bassist and some chamber string kids. But they're just two more reasons its debut, Josiah, has the makings of an epic. (AD Amorosi, City Paper)

After calling themselves Under Not Over, keyboardist/guitarist/vocalist Stephanie Nelson (The Tunics) and drummer Emil Weintraub (Beat Jamz) decided to revert back to their old band name that they shared with the late activist/performer/force of nature Axi Nue and current Clockcleaner bassist Karen Horner. CP's Pat Rapa described their music as "intense riffs, dancey grooves and a rebellious attitude." Bassist Jen Rice (Club Lyfestiles, The Celebs) replaces Horner.
DJ LIZBOT (WPRB)

Lizbot spins beeps & whirls while records fly deftly through her robotic appendages, resulting in a frothy melange of no wave, prog, folk, noise, funk, punk, serialism & any other genre you can think of.
