French TV is a Louisville, Kentucky – based progressive band that has been in existence since 1983.

Lovely Little Girls is an avant-rock band led by artist Gregory Jacobsen and bassist Alex Perkolup. Using Jacobsen’s grotesque paintings as a basis, they write theatrical suites that morph from of-kilter dance anthems to punishing and ridiculous prog. Influenced by artists such as Fred Frith, Magma, The Residents and Captain Beefheart, Lovely Little Girls moves between No-Wave, Rock-in-Opposition prog, metal and free jazz. Initial simple musical motifs quickly deform into charges of odd harmony and tangled polyrhythms; yet it is grounded in a love for catchy melodies. Jacobsen’s syllable-stuffed cut-and-paste prose adds to the absurdity with lyrics about over-ripe food, incompetent sex and undignified death.

Axon-Neuron was initially formed in 2011 by Jeremey Poparad as an excuse to play some music one last time with some friends who were moving away from Ohio. In the course of four months, an entire full length album was written, rehearsed, and recorded and a few live shows were put on in Akron. The result was so enjoyable, that Axon-Neuron “2.0” was assembled to continue performing, writing, and recording after the original lineup departed.
Our first album, “Brain Songs,” was released in May 2011, with our second album, “Dreamstate,” following in June 2012. They are both available on CDBaby (http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/Axonneuron) and iTunes, as well as other digital music services, and at live shows.

Original music, including some uniquely spun Trad Jewish music in a neo-psychedelic, world-influenced rock and acoustic-rock environment. Snippets here and there of of MidEast/modal textures. From electric violin, bass, sax, passionate vocals and outrageous drums to some seriously fly guitar. Extremely different, infectious songs.

Coyote Man is an instrumental band from Chicago Illinois. Members Augie Portugal, Ian Wheeler and Rene Rodriguez have been making noise since the early 2000’s but officially formed Coyote Man in 2015. The trio imbues powerful riffs that are haunting yet soothing, which penetrate deep into the mind of the listener. Coyote Man is a reminder that music can still be an art form not easily subjugated to cliché’s of today’s digital age. “Our aim is to make the listener more susceptible to the complexities of their own feelings and breathe new life into the established paradigms of metal music.”
