The CREEPING NOBODIES
http://www.myspace.com/thecreepingnobodies
The Creeping Nobodies are best defined by the concept of flux and their enthusiasm for experimentation. During a live performance, listeners can expect to witness a propulsive, piercingly loud, fast and heavy song in the vein of the Dog Faced Hermans transition into a droning Vashti Bunyan meets Neubauten dirge, the effect of which may be simultaneously jarring and delightful. The band has released three albums and four eps, put out primarily by Canada's Blocks Recording Club and Sweden's Deleted Art, which all reflect the varied and strikingly different musical directions the band has taken through the past 7 years of its existence. The music creates it's own mood which is definitive, unique, and moving.
Since it's inception, the band's membership has shifted frequently. At present the band is Dennis Amos, Sarah Richardson, Chuck Skullz, and Valerie Uher. Band members often switch instruments, and live performances may include experiments with bells, recorders, sheet metal, broken glass, plastic bags, trombone, violin, oscillators and deep delays. Add to that a propulsive rhythm section and melodic, deadpan female vocals. The band counts Deleted Art labelmates Indian Jewelry and These Are Powers as kindred souls, are known to party with Montreal's Aids Wolf, and are massive fans of The Country Teasers, Liars, and The Ex. Beyond this, the band is very much inspired by tropicalia, Alan Lomax jams, the "folk genre," traditional musics of the world, and slow dark classic rock.
Over the years the band has developed strong creative and collaborative relationships with members of the broader community, both local and global. The Creeping Nobodies seek to accomplish their goals by working directly with promoters, visual artists and designers, sound engineers, labels, and other musicians in Toronto and abroad. By working independently and with likeminded people, the band members set up their own shows, book their own tours, and produce their own music. Whenever possible, the band seeks to integrate visual art into their live shows.
After a whirlwind tour of Europe in Fall 2007 and the release of two recordings on Sweden's Deleted Art and Italy's From Scratch respectively, the band will be heading across the Atlantic in October to tour England, Scotland, and Ireland. Also this fall, the band will be releasing a much-anticipated split 7" with Brooklyn's These are Powers on the label armyofbadluck run by Joshua Fauver of Deerhunter.
ANNI ROSSI
http://www.myspace.com/annirossi
A new signing to 4ad and whirlwind of energy, Anni Rossi is a startlingly fresh musician from Illinois who has been leaving audiences agog with her unique blend of classical virtuosity, ramshackle percussion and vocal acrobatics. Blessed with a distinctive voice that leaps effortlessly across registers, she plays viola simultaneously, plucking and bowing virtuoso accompaniments as she sings. She has been caterwauling and foot stompin' her way into audiences' hearts across Europe ever since Four Tet spotted her and got her invited to perform at London's Homefires Festival in 2005.
Her songs are alive with possibility and she has that Greenwich Village class via East European barn dance mixed with unkempt singer/songwriter allure all in bundles. Like Beirut, Final Fantasy or Karen Dalton she seems to have come from nowhere and hit upon a sound that is idiosyncratic, uncontrived and wholly adorable. Where ever she plays audiences go crazy for her coffee hit songs.
Anni Rossi's debut EP on 4ad is released in October and follows a sold out 7" on Too Pure. 'Afton' fleshes out her sound with clarinet, hand percussion, double bass and lush string arrangements. Somehow her songs manage to capture the vitality and abandon of her live shows as she pushes her voice and viola to the limit. Uplifting, joyous and totally unique. 4ad release her debut album in early 2009.
THREAD PULLS
http://www.myspace.com/threadpulls
Thread Pulls current releases are the mini-album series "Fluorescent 1, 2 and 3" on their label Ninepoint records. Limited to 100 copies, each package contains an individual artwork by Garrett Phelan. Tracks from Fluorescent 3 were remixed/remade by David Donohoe and released in June as the album-length "Moonless and Crowblack". There are only 50 hand-made copies of this release, which comes in custom made packaging with 2 large-format lithographic posters. Thread Pulls became the first (and so far, only) Irish band to be invited to play at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival.
After releasing 4 eps on 9-pt as a drum-bass-guitar three piece, they've stripped down to the duo of Gavin Duffy and Peter Maybury, and they've moved away from their original noise-rock/no wave-inspired beginnings toward a more upbeat post-punk sound.
