MAIL THE HORSE: Mail the Horse found their start in coastal New Hampshire but moved their straight rocking sound to Brooklyn a couple years ago where it could drink too much, work too much, fall asleep on the subway, get robbed by a bum, and learn how to have a sense of humor about how sometimes life sucks all the time. This new city-soaked sound now finds it's physical manifestation in the form of a 12” LP called Great Kills. The record plays like a collection of love songs to the failure of love and while there is little love on this record there is plenty of proof that it exists. Sonically the band has one foot grounded in the tradition of master craftsmen like Bob and Bruce, but this is clearly a band that listens and understands that great rock music is always changing. What comes out wears something like jeans between a working man's boot-cut and the slim fitting tapers of MTH's Brooklyn neighbors. Great Kills is sturdy, reliable rock and roll that still demands you to listen to better music than your parents did. http://mailthehorse.bandcamp.com/
JORDAN TARRANT: Americana country punk from Richmond, VA http://jordantarrant.bandcamp.com/
RED & THE ROMANTICS Red and the Romantics is based in Charlottesville, VA. We make all original music crossing over many genres. Music has brought us together. Music is our passion and our language. We perform with the hope to inspire our audience to move, think and feel something. Together, we are like a family with love and trust. Every time we play, something magic happens- a new song brought to life, a couple in the audience falls deeper in love, a group of dancers brings about a truly powerful expression. We always have a memory to take home that feeds our fire and compels us to continue along this path together. There is an abundance of musical experience and diversity in this group ranging from gospel church music to heavy metal. The songs come from the life experiences and imagination of Erik Red Knierim. These songs are enriched and fortified with the rhythms and melodic phrases of the Romantics. http://www.redandtheromantics.com/

EDH: EDH (Emmanuelle de Héricourt) is a french singer/songwriter. Her unique sound combines her disembodied and fragile voice with strong and driving melodies. During the past decade, she has maintained a amazingly prolific pace, composing and recording non‐stop, releasing only a fraction of her output. This includes her acclaimed contributions to Hypo’s albums (Active Suspension label) and “The Correct Use of Pets”, winner of the Qwartz Electronic Music Awards (2006). Since her return to Paris from New York in 2003, she released several small treasures: Her first official album “Morgen” (2003) came out on the Japanese label IntikRec (dDamage, Aonami…). In 2008, the American rapper Subtitle convinced her to release her New York productions. The result is a wonderfully obscure album : “New York tracks 2001‐2002” (Matte Black Editions). In 2008 she joined Elise Pierre in operating the Parisian record label Lentonia Records. http://lentonia.com/edhlavaclub/edhlavaclub.html
