Field Trip: From the boroughs of Disneyland, California we the Field Trip have emerged from the folk drenched status quo to something else. Something outside of the box. Aliens making super rad tunes. Something for you to enjoy. Having been a complete band since March 2011, we have played the OC peninsula extensively; from as far North as Fullerton, and as deep south as Huntington Beach. Starting as a ...pseudo-folk band, we've incorporated many fringe elements and constructed a sound that is... sorta weird, but good. Our primary members include ex-members of Dusty Rhodes and the River Band: Allen Van Orman and Dustin Apodaca. Our guitarists Kevin Conway and Jeremy Schnaible subdue audiences with their abstract constructions. Joseph Assef: a drummer with purpose and excellent timing. And pianist Timmy "The Great" (Calacsan): some drunk they picked up at a bar where they had their first couple of shows. We've played and we've conquered certain minds and ears who've turned our way. We don't perceive to know what is good: we are great at what we do and think that you'd enjoy us if you saw us live. So sit back in this empty school bus, have a couple beers, and enjoy The Field Trip.
Warships : Warships are an indie band from Los Angeles. The quintet's mix of laid back pop grooves and earnest, playful song-craft is a contrast to many of their contemporaries. Soon after forming, they attracted the attention of producer Raymond Richards, and along with enlisting the help of mixing engineer Darrell Thorp, the band has made a debut album full of undeniable hooks and haunting choruses dressed in dreamy atmospherics.
Piney Gir: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Piney Gir (pronounced as in "girl"; real name Angela Penhaligon) is a female American musician and singer, born in Kansas and now based in London, England. Musical career Encouraged by her parents to learn the piano from the age of four, she wrote her first song at the age of nine. Having earned a degree in music, she moved to England in 1998 to study at the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. Previously a member of the duo Vic 20, she released her debut solo electronica album, Peakahokahoo, in 2004 on UK label Truck Records (and licensed to Greyday Records for release in North America). Produced by electro duo A Scholar And A Physician the album featured Simple Kid, Trademark, The Black Madonnas and the backing singers from Erasure. Whilst most of the tracks were original compositions it also featured a distortion heavy cover of "My Generation" by The Who. The album was extensively toured, including a slot supporting Erasure on a month long European tour, and she recorded a session for DJ Mark Radcliffe on Radio 2. For a period at this point she was also a member of cult indie girl-group The Schla La Las (now disbanded). Whilst touring the album she decided to try playing country versions of her songs. This led to the formation of the Piney Gir Country Roadshow, and the release of the country album Hold Yer Horses. The album contains new versions of five songs previously released on Peakahokahoo: Nightsong, Girl, Boston, Que Sera Sera and Greetings, Salutations Goodbye. Hold Yer Horses was selected as one of the top five albums of 2006 by Phill Jupitus in his music column for the Radio Times magazine, stating that "the stomp and twang of these songs of love and life are unmissable".
La Mer: La Mer is a singer, songwriter, and performer born and raised in the City of Angels. She grew up in the theater, became a world traveler at a very young age, and spent hours in the dark filling diaries with secret songs and deep sea mysteries that would later determine her fate. She spent time living in Spain and then moved to NYC where she appeared in off-Broadway plays, performed in local venues, and rocked underground parties in warehouses, hidden elevator shafts and indie theaters across Brooklyn and Manhattan. She then joined as lead vocalist for New Orleans based key and drum duo ‘The Mumbles’, releasing 2 EP’s and touring the United States. After 2 years of life on the road, losing a friend in a horrible accident, setting a bonfire to who she though she was, and falling in love, La Mer moved to the top floor of a brownstone in the jungles of Bedsuy Brooklyn to study the masters of songwriting, find her voice and write a record. Tired of being a fish out of water, La Mer recently moved home to the Golden State and is currently collaborating with Grammy Award winning producer and engineer Andy Kravitz, embracing the waves, playing choice venues around LA, and enjoying life as a gritty hula girl in Venice Beach California.
