QUINTRON & MISS PUSSYCAT
Quintron has been making genre-defying noise and "Swamp-Tech" dance music in New Orleans for over fifteen years. The majority of his 13 full-length albums have the psychedelic soul of New Orleans garage R&B filtered through a tough distorted Hammond B-3 and a cache of self-made electronic instruments. He has also released strange soundscapes based on inner-city field recordings of frogs and neighborhood ambiance as well as holing himself up in THE NEW ORLEANS MUSEUM OF ART for three months to create the epic "Sucre Du Sauvage" (Goner, 2011). In addition to his own recordings, Quintron has played organ on a number of other records, most notably THE OBLIVIONS "9 Songs" and STEVE RILEY AND THE MAMOU PLAYBOYS "Grand Isle" which was nominated for a Grammy in 2012 and featured the Quintron penned song "Chatterbox". The Quintron / Miss Pussycat experience is one of barely controlled electronic chaos, "Swamp-Tech" dance beats, small explosions, incredible clothes, and entertaining puppet stories.

CAVE
Mind melting psychedelic Krautrock on Drag City Records.
"Cave's latest and best album, Neverendless, seems ideally suited to forward motion. (Released September 20 on LP, CD, and cassette, it's Drag City's first tape release since Palace Music's Viva Last Blues in 1995.) Their ferociously rhythmic music makes a powerful impression in a hurry—even on, say, a pedestrian who can only hear a moment of it. Cave's songs, which collide psychedelic colors with tense motorik grooves, are long and repetitive but hardly self-indulgent; the band plays with pinpoint precision, never wasting a gesture."- Chicago Reader

CATACOMBZ
"Though they’ve remained largely unheralded by the local press, Catacombz have been consistently gigging around town for a couple of years now, gradually building a loyal fan base and occasionally putting out batches of their psych-bent krautrock on cassette. They’ve always been uncompromising, often pushing the limits of a song solely for their own pleasure, so it’s unsurprising that one of the most striking things about Catacombz’s latest, self-titled album (the group’s third overall, and the first to be pressed on vinyl) is the ambitious scope of the tunes contained therein. Only one—album opener “Russia”—is curt enough to dip below the six-minute mark, but that’s not to say the others can be accused of being long-winded or noodling. Ceaselessly propelled by an irrepressible motorik rhythm, even the 10-minute-plus “Anhinga Tundra” seems to pass in the blink of an eye, which makes repeat listens a necessary (and enjoyable) venture." - The Onion AV Club
