Unwed Sailor

Born in Seattle, Washington in 1998 at the tender age of intent, Unwed Sailor is helmed by Oklahoma-born songwriter Johnathon Ford. The basis for the instrumental project came into being while Ford was still writing with Seattle luminaries Roadside Monument. Pulling towards a bass guitar-oriented sound, the songs he had begun to craft did not fully feel right for Roadside Monument, thus the unbeknownst predestined forming of Unwed Sailor.

El Ten Eleven

El Ten Eleven is a Los Angeles-based instrumental rock duo consisting of Kristian Dunn and Tim Fogarty. What separates El Ten Eleven from their musical peers is that they are only two musicians on stage creating pounding landscapes of sound with no laptops or sequencers. Dunn switches off (sometimes mid-song) between a double-neck bass/guitar and a fretless bass, while his feet dance on an extensive floorboard of looping devices and effects pedals. He plays everything live, loops himself and juggles all the layers of tracks on top of each other.

El Dog

“a glorious mix of Muse and Led Zepplin and Mogwai and Biffy Clyro. They may be clearly mad, rabid even, but they're also smarter than your average pooch.” Is This Music?, UK “Four to the floor loud and chuggy, quiet and emoesque... turns old scool boy indie rock.” The Guardian, UK “an intensely emotional performance which splices Radiohead with Smashing Pumpkins but without descending in to the overblown pomposity of Muse.” The Skinny, UK
