RANGDA

Like an avant-garde supergroup of sorts, Rangda's line up includes Chris Corsano (Flower-Corsano Duo), Sir Richard Bishop (Sun City Girls), and Ben Chasny (Six Organs of Admittance). The group's debut release, False Flag, was released earlier this year on Drag City. As you can imagine from these musicians you can expect what could only be described as one of the most intense jams you could possibly imagine.

EMERALDS

Emeralds are an ambient/kosmische/progressive electronic music trio from Cleveland, Ohio, U.S. John Elliott, Mark McGuire and Steve Hauschildt began playing music together under the name Fancelions in 2005[1] in Cleveland's western suburbs of Bay Village and Westlake. However, due to a desire to simplify and focus more on live improvisation, they re-formed as Emeralds, playing their first show under that name in June 2006[2]. Since then the group has released over thirty recordings, on labels such as Hanson Records, American Tapes, No Fun Productions, Ecstatic Peace! and also on their own imprints Wagon and Gneiss Things. The album What Happened, released on No Fun Productions in 2009, is their most widely known release to date. In fall of 2009 the band self-released the follow-up full length to Solar Bridge which is self-titled Emeralds. In the coming years Emeralds releases will appear on Editions Mego and Industrial Records. They have collaborated with Aaron Dilloway on the cassette Under Pressure, released a split tour CD with Japanese noise musician Pain Jerk and opened for Throbbing Gristle in New York and Chicago[3]. The band has also filled headlining slots at Carlos Giffoni's No Fun Fest in New York and Stockholm, Sweden. Mark McGuire and Steve Hauschildt also perform and record under their own names. John Elliott performs as Outer Space, Imaginary Softwoods, and under various other aliases.

HOWLIN RAIN

Howlin Rain is a San Francisco band which formed in 2004 and released their first album in 2006. Described as "classically soulful, Howlin' Rain are currently signed with Rick Rubin to the Columbia Records subset American Recordings. The band's second album Magnificent Fiend was released on March 3, 2008 and has "combination of psychedelia, blues, funk and classic 1970s arena rock." Ethan Miller, while still with Comets on Fire, felt the urge to pursue a more melodic sound in his music and express the influence of growing up on the Lost Coast, so he formed Howlin Rain with his former high school band-mate Ian Gradek, and drummer John Moloney.[6] After the 2006 release of Comets on Fire's last album, he released Howlin Rain's self-titled first album, Howlin Rain with Birdman Records and began touring with Queens of the Stone Age.

Shortly after the release of their first album Moloney left the band but they picked up and later Garett Goddard, Eli Eckert, and Joel Robinow. They released their second album in 2008 and are currently touring on their own.

The band have been chosen personally by Belle & Sebastian to perform at their second Bowlie Weekender festival presented by All Tomorrow's Parties in the UK in December 2010.
