Hunting Grounds
HUNTING GROUNDS are in it for the long haul. Their debut album may be be titled IN HINDSIGHT, but here is a sextet that is looking ahead with a firm grasp on the realities and possibilities of past and present. There is a degree of dramatic irony buried within the concise title of this very vast album. Everything about In Hindsight is vast, the themes, the sounds, of course even the number of performers on it. Hunting Grounds is by nature a very cohesive, collaborative effort.

The Momeraths
"The Momeraths are a five piece band, named after small fuzzy creatures from "Alice In Wonderland" that consist of a scruff of hair, googley eyes and orange legs. In the book (and film) they all cluster together to form an arrow. If there is any correlation between the two, the said arrow should have led Alice to this gig, because this band is quite a find. Their sound is fresh and unique, the majority of their songs a fun fusion of country-folk and tangy guitar strumming with an occasional addition of keyboard-synth electricity.
