The Rosebuds are a trio, but they were a duo back when we first met them back in 2004. "There is a light that will never go out will never ever die, oh my" is a great line.

Pattern is Movement is a progressive math-rock band out of Philly. Another band we keep crossing paths with. When we first played with them, they had a big group but now they are down to two, with no loss of power. I wore their t-shirt nearly every day for a few months in 2006, and there are lots of pictures to prove it.

Sufjan Stevens was on his Seven Swans tour when we first met him, just before he became a big deal. We should have known something was up when we saw the line around the block for an afternoon set by a guy with a funny name:

The Goddamn Rattlesnake is the nome d'plume of a guy named Jay. He's a part of the hick-punk revival in NYC. He plays a six-string banjo and has a voice straight out of the Sex Pistols.

Poorboy Johnson AKA Fletcher Johnson is Rattlesnake's old partner, but now has a band called "Teenage Prayers". He has a real understated presence and great song.

Brownbird Rudy Relic plays a dobro with no amplification, stomping his feet and yelling old time music. You won't believe it until you see it. He has perfected the art of busking.
