CYANOTIC & VAMPIRE BEACH BABES
with Pretty (new local industrial) and Divided Like A Saint's (performance
art meets avant-rock from Atlanta)

CYANOTIC
aggressive electro-industrial from Chicago
http://www.cyanotic-online

Cyanotic are gradually becoming one of the hot newcomers in the realm of harsh
industrial rock. With influences ranging from coldwave to drum n’ bass to power
noise, the trio of Sean Payne, Drew Rosander, and Brian Blake transcends
classification to form a fusion of harsh electronic textures that assault the
auditory senses. After touring with the likes of Bile, Nocturne, and Acumen
Nation, they followed up with the brutal Transhuman album, featuring production
by Jason Novak of Acumen Nation and DJ? Acucrack. Louder and harder than most
other bands that claim to be industrial, Cyanotic are sure to please as well as
surprise fans of Acumen Nation, Bile, Rec|use, and Chemlab. If you’re looking
for a new hero in machine-driven rock and industrial, Cyanotic are here to
answer your prayers.

VAMPIRE BEACH BABES
surfy gothabilly deathrock from Toronto
http://www.vampirebeachbabes.com

This band has a very cool blend of classic 50's sounds with a heavy dose of the
B-52's and The Cramps. Put this package all together with a solid tongue in
cheek approach and strong songwriting, and you have a real winner...Like John
Waters, the Toronto-based Babes suck up influences from a grab-bag of musical
and pop culture scenes. They paradoxically capture the sexy fun of a Betty Page
bikini shake with goth sensibilities, completely screwing with the sullen
night-creature stereotype.... a curious marriage of Goth, surf-punk, rockabilly
leather, PVC and sunscreen, these weirdoes throw a beach party that would leave
Frankie and Annette buried in the sand.
