T Bird a.k.a. Tim Crane is the gravel-voiced front-man of criminally underexposed Texan heavy funk and soul outfit T Bird & The Breaks who released their debut album Learn About it in 2009. The band have dropped a number of breaks-heavy funk nuggets since Learn About It

Sharkbait (one word) was a San Francisco based industrial group active from 1986 to 1996. They were a true industrial band, in the vain of Einstürzende Neubauten, using multiple percussionists in their songs and live performances. Everything from Taiko drums, sheets of metal, oil drums, huge metal springs, and many other tribal percussion instruments were used. On top of the rythmic assault were layers of noise, distorted and manipulated instruments, tape loops, samples, and vocals by multiple singers (male and female).

Fair Maiden was born in 2008 as the lo-fi solo baby of Adelaide SA songstress
Ellen Carey (Birth Glow, Clue to Kalo, Jemima Jemima). Ellen’s sweet and unsettling mystical folk project soon spread its thorny limbs to encompass brother Joel Carey (Wolf & Cub, Peak Twins, Lost Animal), Liam Kenny (Bitch Prefect, Kitchen’s Floor, Peak Twins) and ex-Birth Glow bandmate Stephanie Crase (Batrider, Hit the Jackpot, No Through Road). New album out late 2012.....
