CANDY CLAWS

CANDY CLAWSmp3
Candy Claws came about through magic and physics, which are opposites but that is the miracle. The two of us recorded Starry Fighter Kite first, back in 2007. It’s a hazy time in memory, like the moments when the universe was only a Planck length in size and one unit of Planck time old. We can guess at what happened, but everyone must admit its mystery. All we can remember is that we were best friends who loved making music, and Candy Claws was mostly inevitable. The band is an experiment to discover what Dream Pop really sounds like.
ARAS AND THE VOLODKASmp3
Aras and the Volodkas is a band performing music with a throwback sound, akin to that of the 60’s surf pop. Accompanied by Jazz drummer Tom Haughen, Percussionist Claire arctander, Jazz pianist Lindsay moore, rock bassist Troy Hernendez, and vocalist Mamie adams, Aras and the Volodkas revisits a bygone genre with a new twist. Look out for the debut record, “a recipe for disaster” to be released early next year.
BROTHER GEORGEmp3
Close your eyes and go to a better place, preferably on a beach. Now replace the soothing sound of waves and seagulls with the soothing sound of Brother George. This Chicago piece is an indie rock folk band with a singer that looks like Aldous Huxley.
