Phoebe's Dream VIC Melbourne - Phoebe's Dream unashamedly wear their influences on their sleeves - and with such a splendid pedigree of influences why wouldn't they? Primary impressions lie predominantly with Talking Heads and David Bowie, but it's easy to see the likes of Mercury Rev and Flaming Lips slipping in there too. They've received a heap of rave reviews at ex-Talking Head Jerry Harrison's Garageband website. The band have aimed to produce a cohesive sound that is intelligent and accessible to the listener.

The Pictures play a very up beat, groove and soul based style of music rooted in classic 60's rock and roll like the WHo, Small Faces and the Kinks while giving it a contemporary feel and passion. Undoubtedly, they are one of the best live bands in the country.

RantMusic 433 W.Saanich Rd. Victoria BC Canada V8Z3E9 phone : Power-folk with worldly influences such as punk, jazz and the occasional kitchen sink......RantMusic is admittedly hard-pressed to describe their own creation, offering the interesting idiom of "Tom Waits meets the Dead Kennedys in Eastern Europe" as an easy out instead. It's an apt description to say the least, and one that is fully captured on their second album, "Kamikaze Syllables."

Super Delta Three London - London UK Phone : 020 8993 7441 We strive to evoke a feeling, using vocals as an instrument not as a tool for torch songs.Lyrics are secondary to the vibe being created, we do not wish to force-feed our audience with words which leave little room for creating their own perception of super delta three. The music of super delta three is not formulaic......and the writing process does not use conventional methods. Voices are used in the same way fugal writing was used to create a mosaic within the music - enhancing and developing a formed sound within a musical picture.
