Isadoras Scarf
Alternative Punk
Santa Cruz
Isadora's Scarf is a Santa Cruz based alternative punk band. The band plays a mix of alt-rock covers and punk-influenced originals, in the prolapsed vein of Radiohead, X, Iggy Pop, Concrete Blonde and PJ Harvey. The sound is fierce, driving and distinctive, an itch which gets scratched in your brain that goes from soothing to blistering, and then just sort of a pleasant throbbing.
With their flair for histrionics and prize giveaways, the band promotes creative interaction with the audience and spastic abandon. The vocals are edgy, and the music entices even the lead-footed to get up and dance.

Melted Horses
70's Revivalist Rock 'n' Roll / Blues / Alternative / Country
San Jose
Melted Horses is a late 60's, early 70's revivalist band which seeks to write and perform music that existed at the pinnacle of guitar driven rock&roll. A style of music that peaked in the mid 1970's just before the music industry collapsed under it's own gluttonous, decadent weight and descended into a sea of synthesizers, electronic drum beats, and choreographed stage antics.The Horses' sound walks a fine line between the Woodstock era looseness represented by such musicians as Leslie West and a type of music that represents a nearly obsessive search for guitar tonalities as seen in the styles of Dicky Betts, Joe Walsh, and Don Felder. The band consists of four members: a lead guitarist, vocal/2nd guitarist, bassist and a drummer. "The Horses will change you're life..."

Thrash Metal
Oakland
Ghoul is a thrash metal band from Oakland, California. Though the members' actual identities are meant to be concealed, it is known that some members of Ghoul also play or have played in other bands such as Impaled, Dystopia, Wolves in the Throne Room, Exhumed, Phobia, Asunder and Morbosidad. They released their debut album in 2002 and so far have made four full albums.
Not much is known about Ghoul as they are always seen wearing masks. The members go by the stage names Cremator, Fermentor, Digestor, and Dissector. The band has a large line-up of characters in their lyrics, including the four of themselves. Most of the information about them comes from the "Curio Shop Owner" one of the many characters mentioned in their songs. They claim to be mutants that came from Creepsylvania. Ghoul was signed after self-releasing a demo. Their musical style is best described as a blend of thrash and grindcore with death metal vocals and lyrics. In 2008, Ghoul released a split 7" with Brody's Militia. In 2011, the band released their fourth record and embarked on an American tour opening for shock rockers Gwar.
Cremator (Ross Sewage) - vocals, bass (Ludicra, Impaled, Exhumed, Wolves in the Throne Room, Phobia)

Dhruva Noel: Rhythm Guitar
Jesse Williams: Voice
Gena Krupa: Drums
Emerging as a duo in the Summer of 2010 with the musical engineering prowess of Kevin Loftus and the guitar styling's of Dhruva Noel, A Thousand Shall Fall was a metal-based recording group with hopes of gaining a few more members and turning it into the real thing. In late August the duo became a formidable trio with the addition of Daniel Johnston, a highly skilled guitarist previously part of various local bands such as Descending Forth and others. With the addition of Dan A.T.S.F. found a direction for their music and added an important piece to their onslaught. In late 2010 Jesse Williams joined on vocals, and in early 2011 Gena Krupa joined the band to finalize the A.T.S.F. lineup. Currently in the process of composing, booking, and recording the band's sound is strongly melodic while simultaneously staying true to the heavy hitting rhythms they've all grown fond of. Keep your eyes and ears open for some upcoming tracks on Myspace other sites and look out for A Thousand Shall Fall coming to a city near you in 2012.

Over the 2011 summer, we recorded "The Darkest Shade Of Red" EP demo. Over this time and many shows later, we are still working hard to write new material for upcoming recordings/shows. As we keep supporting other bands like ourselves, we hope we make our mark in the music scene and keep growing to much more! -DSOR-

I remember being a kid driving around in my parents car listening to bands like The Cure and Depeche Mode. Songs like “Lullaby”, & “Enjoy The Silence” blew me away. Their dark romantic lyrics, lush synths, and haunting guitars sounded so cool to me. With my solo project Little Ghost, I’m kinda trying to capture some of that nostalgia in my own music.
