Hella

Hella began in 2001 in Sacramento, California as a two member band consisting of Zach Hill and Spencer Seim writing technically intricate music of a highly spastic nature. They play a blend of math rock and noise rock. On early albums, the band forged their classic sound, playing minimally arranged, abrasive instrumentals that still retain an idiosyncratic sense of melody. In 2005, the band expanded their live band by adding Dan Elkan on vocals, rhythm guitar, and synth and Jonathan Hischke on bass guitar.

Petites Annonces

Formed by a Frenchman, ex-Paris punk but now local resident Jipé Gérardin, Petites Annonces came about in an unusual way - a small ad in the local magazine - hence the name, (it means Small Ads in French).
Petites Annonces play a unique mix of gypsy jazz (Django Reinhardt et al), those bonnes old french chansons, and a genre unknown until now in this country : "Punk Manouche". Be prepared to hear something different avec un accent francais!
