Dogme 95 (Chicago solo folk/psych)
http://www.missionlabel.com/dogme95/
Dogme 95 is based out of Chicago and strives to push the limits of sound by combining intricate song structure with honest and moving melodies. To imagine the Dogme project think Smog/Beck meets Kraftwerk in the garden of Motown. I really enjoy old blues and prison chants from the recordings of Alan Lomax, as well as synth oriented artists such as Brian Eno and David Byrne. Then again, I do strive to someway combine these contrasting ideas and the results are thus far extraodinary. I released my first record in May of 2005 called Arcadian Hymns, this record exhibits the diversity in songwriting and multi-layered vocals inspired by 1940's prison chants. In 2006, I look forward to releasing The Reagle Beagle, which is the fictional story of myself on the boat with Charles Darwin during his studies of Evolution, Origin of the Species, and Survival of the Fittest. This record will be out on Empyrean Records. My name is Nick and I am orginally from Dallas, TX. The name is somewhat inspired by the manifesto drafted in 1995 by Lars Von Trier and the officials of Danish cinema. Think of me as the musical extension of those films. Yet, I hope you explore the cinema of Dogme 95: www.dogme95.dk

Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck (Boston noise)

In 2002 the supervillains of Boston's avant-gaydar music scene, Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck, ejaculated pearly white gobs of ultra-violent sex rock all over the faces of unexpecting audiences with the release of "I Stuck My Boner In The Blender" (the pinkest demo ever).. The band's infamous grab-your-ankles live shows always prove to be a splendid orgy of sexually irresponsible catharsis. With their long-awaited self-released 2004 debut 7"/CD "The Homorobotic Adventure Squad Presents: Songs For Blasting Lasers And Fighting Evil-Doers", the jizziferous duo explored any and all perverse subtleties imaginable...in 4 minutes and 19 seconds. After a short tour in 2005, a split 7"/CD with circuit melting Joshua Hydeman was released titled "Split Wide Open" on the Friendship Bracelet label. The sluts have a falll release in the works for Kitty Play Records and a 3" Cd on Apop Records. The band has already contributed to dozens of compilations for labels such as X Died En Route Y and Hung Like A Horse etc. The band plans to release a 12" full length album in 2006 followed by an expansive tour.
