Pinki Tuscaderro
"IT IS ONLY A MACHINE"
Indie/Experimental/Post-punk


With her new 2011 release, It is Only a Machine, Pinki Tuscaderro refines the lo-fi, rough and ruddy tone of her appropriately titled debut release, Demo Sins (Aug. 2009), to embark on a D.I.Y. expedition through digital audio, synthesizing an indefinable blend of post-punk, traditional blues, surf rock, country/folk, beat poetry, and experimental electronica. Resonant of such artists as The Breeders, Odetta, The Ventures, Allen Ginsberg, and Kraftwerk, this collection of songs is thick with lyrical worship, investigative fusion, philosophical inquiry, and minimalist ethos.

Jane & The Pretty Pleases

Singer-SongwriterJane & the Pretty Pleases is a trio of goodfriends that came together around Jane's honest and raw songwriting. With Michael James Brooks on piano and Ira Ochs on cello, the sound is lush and unique.

Catherine Holder
CATHERINE HOLDER
R&B/Jazz/Pop

Combine the voice of Dusty Springfield or a female Michael Buble with the energy and stage presence of Tina Turner or Beyonce, and you get Catherine Holder. Originally an actress, from all over the east coast, she is influenced by the classics of Motown and Jazz, but is drawn to the sassy new lyricism of Amy Winehouse and Katy Perry. Her music is mostly a blend of R&B and rock, as heard on the high energy break-up song “Buh-Bye,” and her jazz influences show through songs like "Old Fashioned Romance." Her fan base is eclectic, ranging from wild-at-heart stay-at-home moms to the crazy young college students. Catherine's music, like Catherine herself, is sassy, sexy, and irresistible. Catherine is currently planning a tour across the US.

Release Date: November 2nd, available on ITunes and Bandcamp.
