[ DEER TICK ]
"Deer Tick began as the songwriting project of John McCauley, a singer/songwriter based out of Providence, Rhode Island. Thanks to the help of Brendon "Viking Moses" Massei, McCauley has been ferociously zig-zagging across the United States, hitting all the sparsely attended basement shows, smoky bars, upscale joints, small to medium size festivals, and everything in between, since April of 2005. At 21 years of age, McCauley has worked very hard to get his homemade CD's in players across the country, and has no plans to stop any time soon." - Deer Tick HQ . Indiefolkdiypartycountryrockwhateverthefuck, Deer Tick will make you want to have yourself a drink, grab your closest friend or stranger and sing/dance/party the night away. This ultra-proud Rhode Islander (as if there was ever an ashamed one) is writing some of the raddest and most fun tunes in any scene today. New album out super-soon, but CD-Rs are usually available at shows, you won't stop listening to it.

[ SAL FEATHERS & THE BIRDCAGE ]
Technically two separate musical endeavors, but increasingly becoming one band, Sal Feathers and The Birdcage is four BFFs/roommates/drinking partners/and inside joke sharers, and it all shows live. Musically and socially influenced by giants such as Bob Dylan, the White Stripes, The Beach Boys and The Beatles (the rock stuff, not the hippie shit), and more recently, traditional Blues acts, Hamden County Massachusians Ian, Pat, Tom and Julian carry a 1940s/50s/60s whatever classy vibe. It's the closest thing to Americana music you'll ever see live, especially outta four kids under 21, recently re-located, about 3 blocks from this very show, from the WMass burbs. Secretly, and probably publicly, they wish it was '67 and they had a two bedroom in The Village.

[ LIZ ISENBERG ]
"Liz Isenberg's Seeport Seaport Seeport (newest, and first full length release) deserves more than the usual huzzahs you read around. It's a fantastic album, especially for anyone who wished folks like Elliott Smith and Cat Power stuck to the sound of their early records, to transporting room noise and close-in confessionals. I use names like that not just because they and Liz share an aesthetic sensibility; Liz's voice, songwriting and creative arrangements are textured and distinctive, and set off all sorts of future-star alarms." - Indiefolkforever . Liz's quiet and introspective tunes make you think of super-emo-shit, but in a really good way. Like the time you had all that drama with your bf/gf but then it got all better. She's way genuine and if her music doesn't make you feel good/smile, double check, you might not have a soul. Plus she has already been included in Fat Cat Records' (Sigur Ros, Animal Collective) Demo Archives - a list of artists that the label would be interested in signing - time and money permitting - so you know she's good.

[ DIEGO PEREZ ]
Another forever Providencer, Diego usually sings and plucks his electric guitar alone. Jams like "country ass motherfucker" induce sing alongs from friends in the audience and new fans alike. Everyone and anyone will related to his tunes. Way straight forward and honest, Diego is a blast live and his tunes can leave one contemplating their existence, or just continuing the sing-alongs.
