CHE! KEFFIYEH

By Jason Moriber • Sep 4th, 2008

Three piece power-trio playing emo-style college alt-rock relying on Ska and the Accordion-based Chamamé style for the backbone to their songs. Mostly sung in the languages of repressed people these songs range in topic from nationalistic style anthems to party favorites such as, “who left the cake out in the rain” and “come dancing”.



The Wife-Cheaters

By Jason Moriber • Aug 8th, 2008

Five-piece, all-female (all single: two divorces, one widower “he drowned in the tub”, and two, “me get married? You’re crazy!”)

- Tub bass
- Washboard
- Cocktail drum kit
- Banjo
- Electric guitar

Most of their songs relate to a man gone bad, a man that was never good, or late night love affairs “use them and abuse them” the bass player notes….

By Jason Moriber • Aug 6th, 2008

Spanish class would be a 6-piece Flamenco/Lounge fusion band, using guitars, castanets, hand-drums, and feature both sultry and snappy crooning from two vocalists, one man, one woman. They would currently be touring taverns in eastern Europe, seeking local musicians to join them on instrumental pieces, which often upsets the lead vocalists, who are purists and egomaniacs.
