No Eye Contact No Eye Contact is the recording project of Raky Sastri. It its live form - which often lies dormant for months or years at a time - it forces its members - including, but not limited to, Sasha Brown, Matt Bogdanow, and Heather Christian, all musicians of unusually high caliber - into comprising musical positions, usually involving performing on instruments they have pretty much no experience on.
Spanish Prisoners “…(Leo Maymind is) one of those squirrelly artists that runs le gamut from a weird freak folk (with spry banjo, dobro, accordion, Wurlitzer, Neil Young-ish harmonica, etc.) to an even more skewed inversion of rough-hewn, ‘70s influenced indie-rock. No wonder he once backed Daniel Johnston; they’ve both got a nice artistic screw loose.” -The Big Takeover
Worst Case Ontario Worst Case Ontario of New York City officially launched, under that cheeky moniker, in late 2006. However, a few of its songs were initially recorded on a drawling Fostex four-track by vocalist/guitarist Sam Weisberg, in a Japanese beetle-infested room somewhere in Oberlin, Ohio, during the fall of 2001. In the years in between, those songs and others evolved into the sprawling, tape-fuzz free rants unleashed on the band’s debut album, “Burning Politely,” released in late 2007.
Falcon How many bands form with a finite amount of material? Really, think about it. How many bands form knowing, from the start, what the songs already are, and that there will never be another one? It’s a problem tribute bands must often face. But what if the tribute band’s songs have never even been heard before? Enter Falcon. Falcon is not a tribute band. Falcon plays all new material.
