"Pi could be described as elegant, seductive, melodic, soulful, sexy and dynamic as a performer. A few other adjectives could certainly apply to the angelic vocals she presents. The creative side of the artist is the part which needs to be taken very seriously. She writes songs with an intense dance groove and strong sensible lyrics which one can relate to easily."

Julie Zielinski is best known as the melodic songstress from San
Francisco's indie popsters, staci twigg.
She's been compared to artists ranging from Chan Marshall to
Johnette Napolitano because of her unique ability to dynamically
voice her songs from whisper-loud to an energetic frenzy.

"As a melancholic indie singer-strummer from Portland, John
Vecchiarelli is probably doomed to live forever in the shadow
of "Mount St. Elliott Smith." However, it is greatly to his credit
that, despite inevitable comparisons to the late guru of "intimate
ballads" and "folky pop," Vecchiarelli has carved out a niche of his
own. A studio drummer turned punk rocker turned acoustic Man of
Sorrow, Vecchiarelli owes bigger sonic debts to Jeff Buckley and
Michael Stipe than Elliott Smith or Nick Drake."

Dena Connolly: As front lady of local indie pop trio Giant Value,
Dena stands on her toes, and plays with moxie. Solo, aka "Lesser
Value," Dena plays guitar, piano and some ukulele; the songs are
still tightly wound and full of hooks. Listen to this to be
reminded that everything is eternally beautiful and all right.

OCTOMUTT are Ted Savarese and Ashley Adams and they weave
meandering guitars and slinking loops with an easygoing anchor of
standup bass. There's a definite down home, earthy feel to
Octomutt's music -- seeming very casual and off the cuff -- however
an occasional detour into more trippy, eccentric territory is
certainly not out of the question."

"Spare yet vivid, the songs of Nandina pair Matt
Bauer's rich vocal with drifting antique banjo lines
from another time.A Kentucky transplant,Bauer's now a Bay
Area dweller who ties Southern musical traditions to those of
contemporary, local folk revivalists. Kindling the kind
of warm folk that fellow San Franciscan Jolie Holland
revitalizes, and meshing it with the darker explorations
of The Court & Spark or Virgil Shaw, Matt Bauer drifts
down his own inlet."

Frisky Frolics
From the Panic of 1907 to the Great Depression, an economically
shattered populace found comfort in the light, cheerful tunes of Tin
Pan Alley. The jury's still out on the current economy, but there's
no doubt that THE FRISKY FROLICS have mastered a full repertoire of
those cheerful tunes – just in case. (from the 2002 Best of the Bay,
Guardian award "Best Music for the New Depression")
