KARA KEITH- "That's Just Wonderful of You"
Kara Kieth is well known performer who has rocked Calgary's rock scene before moving to Montreal this summer. Her music has the unique blend of Indie-pop roots and jazz/classical branches create innovative sounds that envelop her creative lyrics.
Connor Desai is an electroacoustic indie-pop singer-songstress based in Seattle. Her debut EP (released in 2007) was very well received and garnered several awards, one of which was inclusion on Indie Music Magazine's "Top 25 CDs of 2007" list. Her sound has been described by the press as follows: "Take the easy lightness of Edie Brickell, add in the scratch of Rickie Lee Jones, dip it in hot buttered rum, put it in a smoky jazz nightclub, and you have Connor Desai." (Jennifer Layton, Indie-Music.com) and "...[Desai sounds] like if Norah Jones had never been discovered and was forced to record in her Brooklyn apartment." (J-sin, Smother Magazine). As of October 2008, she primarily writes and plays with her band, Secret Stairs, which is set to release a second album early next summer. http://www.myspace.com/secretstairs streaming tracks

FERNANDA’S ARITHMETICS(ALTERNATIVE RESUME)25 - My age when I got married
“The Dents bring it on back to where it began; nary a song in their set is minus melody and hook and they're wonderfully relentless in that straight-ahead speed surf rhythm thing. I couldn't stop smiling-and these days, it's more like can't stop wincing. They're that good...”—Johnny Angel, Los Angeles Alternative Press The Dents are: After releasing Round One, a split CD/7” EP, with Boston’s The Street Dogs last year, the band toured regionally playing to punk and rock audiences alike. They appeared live on Dicky Barrett's "Mighty Mighty Morning Show" on Indie 103 in LA and the BYO Punk Rock Bowling Festival in Las Vegas.
