Whysall Lane started as a solo project for Richard Baluyut (Versus) in New York in the late 1990's. Richard moved to San Francisco in 2001 and began playing with Adam Pfahler (Jawbreaker, J Church), Mikel Delgado (Wussum Pow) and Jerry DiRienzo (Lotusland).
The sum of the equasion is rock.

Johannes Armentrout (Hansi) started writing acoustic songs inspired by artists like Elliot Smith and Neil Young. Truxton has a powerful brand of indie rock that fuses straight forward rock and roll with a touch of country and folk.

Pepito
Thee More Shallows

"A new Latin pop experience emerges when Ana Machado and José Márquez, better known in the indie music arena as Pepito, create their blend of smartly orchestrated compositions, electronic-aided rhythms, and intertwining vocals. Since 2001, the Bay Area duo has put out a couple of notable albums, including their politically engaging debut Migrante; their wide-ranging sound has drawn comparisons to bands like Tortoise and the Postal Service. Pepito won't have to travel too far tonight to give fans an earful of punky IDM goodness when they take to the stage at the Mission's 12 Galaxies."

"More Deep Cuts finds Dee Kesler's Thee More Shallows flexing their muscles far more than on their 2002 debut. A distillation of much of the last decade's best US indie, it draws upon the likes of The Flaming Lips and Grandaddy's Under The Western Freeway, melding these with more atmospheric meditative influences like Slint. Kesler's softly spoken vocals provide a focus around which his songs blossom in an often euphoric fashon, and the inspired use of strings and toy pianos to flesh out the sound is never overstretched. Deeply addictive."

"The brian_and_chris line-up consists of Brian Fraser and Chris Palmatier. Since their inception in the late 1990s, they have earned a solid reputation with their post rock/electronica hybrid. Describing their music as “genre-free,” the two have released several critically acclaimed recordings. The All-Music Guide gave their last CD “Vectors” a four-star rating, calling it, “trip-hop without the hop.”
