Sex and Machines is Rock, Funk project with some Prog., Punk and Soul influences from Sonoma County. People have compared them to Frank Zappa, Ween, David Bowie, Talking Heads and Mr. Bungle but they are more “radio friendly” and “dance-able”.

out of New Jersey the band is Midfall Drive bio: Artist Information Biography The band was started under the collective notion that no genre is off limits when it comes to inspiration for creating fresh and innovative music, and its varied set list is evident of this philosophy.

Absolutely nothing about Bill James stands out to me as unique, although it’s very palatable. If you like music in the old rock/blues genre that sounds just fine, Bill James will sound just like that....Leah West (special pick)...

Inua Ellams...
Inua is a London poet. He writes this about himself: I was totally like born in 1984, think that ‘1984′ is a good book, loving that bleak sh*t Orwell has going on, I am the brown-skinned blue prince to re-rinse reality outta rain puddles, like forefathers before me. Find me there, humping the right legs of the muses, I be the tail tapper strapped to the glue like thought...Naomi & The Courteous Rudeboys...

In December 2007, Evan Hammer released his first album, Bright Day for a Frog’s Rebellion – a diverse rock album that collects entrapped and disenchanted surrealistic visuals, modern garage rock tones and energy, a battering of longing and loss, and acoustic explorations of the worlds that lunatics and lovers build.
