Heartless Bastards
The Heartless Bastards' story starts in Dayton, Ohio, where Wennerstrom found the name on a multiple choice video trivia game at a bar. As a songwriting teenager during a time when Guided by Voices and Brainiac were packing local bars and three of The Breeders were still in town, Wennerstrom used to sneak into clubs to check out the scene. "I would just see those people—my music heroes—hanging out at the bar like everyone else," she remembers. "I could see myself in them. It gave me inspiration to do my own thing."

Horse Feathers
Justin Ringle moved to Portland, Oregon in 2004, and began to play open mics regularly under the moniker Horse Feathers. In 2005 Peter Broderick heard two songs that Justin had recorded in a friend's basement, and proceeded to track Justin down via the internet. Shortly after that, the two started playing music together. For the most part, Justin writes the songs initially, and then Peter helps to arrange them with varying instrumentation. The resulting sound is music.

Cat's Eyes
Faris Badwan, frontman for UK indie rockers The Horrors, has a new project: Cat's Eyes, a duo with the Canadian opera soprano and multi-instrumentalist Rachel Zeffira. The group specializes in a glassy, symphonic take on girl-group pop, and they played their first show in December in a pretty unusual place: St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican, during an afternoon mass "attended by seven high-ranking cardinals," according to a press release.

Poles Apart
Poles Apart were a alternative rock outfit from Cairns, Australia.The band formed in May 2005 from a result of boredom musical fustration and the need of a creative outlet.There was however, a problem.None of the 3 had much experience in playing instrments. So, with some help, they started experimenting. Michiel was in a previous band in Sydney which only lasted a couple of months. He placed himself firmly on the guitar. Tom always has a thing for the bass, he had a bass guitar given to him for a birthday, and since then has always been enchanted by how it fits into the musical landscape.
