Hailing from Providence, RI, Geoff Mullen is a guitarist / sound manipulator who consistently challenges the ears of his fan base. Aside from his recent 2 x LP release "Armory Radio" on Barge Recordings, he has released solo albums on various labels including Last Visible Dog and Keith Fullerton Whitman’s Entschuldigen label. Additional projects include a 7-inch and various cassette releases on Geoff’s own Rare Youth label, as well as being a member of the Providence-based Northern Cross.

" Geoff sculpts shape shifting drones that evolve from ear scouring to delicately sublime. Based largely on electric guitar, but taking in the whole kitchen sink and points in between…" - BSR Radio

Paul Metzger is one of the most exciting and inventive guitarists around right now, he builds and modifies his own guitars and banjos and makes incredible music. He has released solo records for Alan Sparhawks (of Low) Chairkickers Union, Freedom From, Mutant Music, and another out on Locust in late October. Last year Paul also released a split LP with Ben Chasney & Chris Corsano on the Roaratorio Label. Paul has recently been on bills with Six Organs of Admittance, Jack Rose, Glenn Jones, Boris and Low.

" This is ingenious music of happy accidents; a two-year labor of love and sweat that just might make your secret dreams come true. Paul's playing may summon up the spirits of Sandy Bull's searching
inventiveness, Billy Faier's out Tacoma sides, J.P. Pickens' tweaked Americana, Henry Flynt's searing harmonic drones or Big Jim Sullivan's psychedelic exotica, but at the end of the day, Metzger is no idolater and we're all a little luckier to have him around to occupy his own singular post in this post- Fahey world." -locust

Duluth, Minnesota, is not where you1d expect to find Tim Kaiser, but you'd be dead wrong. He1s the guy with the obsolete gadgetry at the back of various coffee shops and art galleries making that Post-Modern folk music. More than a lofty tinker, though, his music is as delightful as his contraptions: sonorous loops and wacky machine-vocals, with a decidedly analog bent. You can almost hear the Bakelite singing. This is ingenious music of happy accidents; a two-year labor of love and sweat that just might make your secret dreams come true.
