William Hooker: Drummer William Hooker has released over 20 critically acclaimed CDs. As a composer, he has received commissions from Meet the Composer, the NY State Council on the Arts, Real Art Ways and others, and has led many creative ensembles with musicians from diverse backgrounds, including Lee Ranaldo, David Murray, David S. Ware, William Parker, DJ Spooky and Thurston Moore. Hooker often reads his poetry during performances as part of the musical compositions.

The Paranoid Critical Revolution
have been playing the NYC club scene since 2006. Their self-released debut CD "Death of the Cool" came out in December 2007 just in time for the band to play ALL TOMORROW'S PARTIES, "A Nightmare Before Christmas" in Minehead, England. PCR is currently mixing their second CD, "Euphobia" to be released by the fall. The band recently played at the South By Southwest Music Festival in March 2009. Their sound could be described as Post-Neo-No Wave Oddcore Punk.
In addition to PCR, Guitarist Reg Bloor has been playing with Glenn Branca (to whom she is married) since 2000. She played in Branca's Symphony No. 12, Lesson No. 3, his rock band Branca/Bloor, in his trio, eventually becoming Concertmaster for his Symphony No. 13 for 100 Guitars. In the late 90's she was a founding member of the Boston-based band TWITCHER, who released the self-produced CD "Leg of Lamb of God" in 1999 and appeared on the soundtrack for the Troma film "Terror Firmer".
Prior to joining PCR, drummer Libby Fab studied electro-acoustic music and music composition at Trinity College Dublin, where she completed an M.Phil in Music and Media Technology. Libby became part of the Glenn Branca crew in 2006 as technical director, rehearsal drummer and assistant engineer for Symphony No. 13. She has worked on Branca's shows in Montclair (New Jersey), Ghent, Dublin, London, Minehead, Rome, Seattle and St. Louis. She also performed in Branca's Lesson No. 3 in London, Minehead and New York.

Lonely Ghost

Brooklyn improvisational unit Lonely Ghost uses electric bass, guitar, synth, violin, and a morin khuur to conjure up unheard sounds that could shake the snow off a mountain or get a whale to hump your leg. Their debut album "Subterranean" was released by AndTheyFell Recordings.
