| Just out of jail, the 3 cell mates stumble across a old dodge van full of band equipment. They had experience playing songs together while on the inside and they needed a ride outta there so Johnny breaks in, Ollie hotwires and Drewcifer drives them away and off into the future. After spending a couple of years on the road they have settled in the Northern California area where they found a fellow spirit in Brother Ray who adds a mastermind quality to the dirt of this band. Do not leave your purses, wallets, picnic baskets, or women unattended around this band. They will steal them and your hearts. |

If you’re taking a walk through upper-middle class American suburbia,
you wouldn’t expect to hear solid, ripping, gut-busting rock and roll
coming from a garage. But coming from a certain house in El Dorado Hills,
CA are the sweet and smooth tones of the blues-driven, grunge-hashed,
tight laced melodies of Walking Spanish. - "Their sound is a reflection of their name: confident and honest, with the ability to lay down a screaming rocker then turn around and heartfully deliver a tender ballad...Seeing the band live is the only way to understand what everyone is talking about." - Marty DeAnda, Dig Music -"...A bass player from a punk band, a drummer from a jazz ensemble, and a singer/songwriter/guitarist with the soul of a folk singer effortlessly combine rhythms and melodies that draw from the old, mix with the new and come out with a sound all their own. " -Megan Neves, Your Music Magazine Rock ’n’ friggin’ roll! The Snobs are one of the best additions to the local music scene, and this CD captures the energy they bring to every show. It’s a blistering rock-music martini, garnished with a couple of olives and a punk twist. The band is powered solidly by guitarist Andrew Marks, bassist Jerome Stannard and drummer Mike Cordano. But what brings the spark here is Jason Boggs’ vocals. He has a good sense of melody and timing, and a wee hint of vodka and smoke in the quality of his voice. Boggs gives the music a personality, which so many bands seem to lack these days. The 13 tracks here range from pretty good to burning hot, with highlights being “Fuck It Hook Me Up,” “Riot,” “Sludge” and “Bare Minimum.” Pour this musical cocktail in your CD player, take a taste and prepare to rock out! Black Tar Caviar's lead members have been playing together with various bands and artists for better part of six years, most recently WePrickYou and Darling Sweetheart – completely savage, rowdy, riffy, garage-punk rock & roll ... with maybe a twist of some, how do you say it, Vaudevillian-Blues-Outlaw-Country-Soul??? The stuff that’ll get you dancing, grab your heart with some intimate vocals, then tear your head clean off your shoulders with drums & guitar. Some things never change, and their new music will still twist yer spine in ways Mother Nature never intended. But time's come to mix 'er up with some electronics and a mob of styles that they've kept on the backburner. Look forward to a truckload of new material and new sounds. They look forward to rockin wit'chu soon. "Prieta kicked my ass. The Sacramento band, which includes Stockton natives Mat Woods, Brian Breneman and Ian Maclachlan, rolled into the Blackwater Cafe June 30 and play a brief but vicious set of modern blues-rock. It was tight, loud and rollicking, one part Buddy Guy/Muddy Waters and another part Queens of the Stone Age. As a result, the band’s sound is both cutting-edge and classic, and it can draw devil horns from middle-age professionals relaxing after a day of work as well as 20-something punks out for a good show. And both helped pack the Blackwater June 30, a rare feat for a Monday-night performance. Others from the Stockton music scene also came out to show their appreciation for the return of Breneman, Maclachlan and Woods, including members of Pretty Mama and the Not So Hots, Simmerhorn, the Icarus Jones Collective and the Stockton Royale. The crowd loudly showed their appreciation for frontman Alex Ayers’ powerful, bluesy wail and locomotive harmonica work. Woods, meanwhile, wielded his guitar like a machine-gun armed Joe Perry, while bassist Maclachlan and drummer Breneman kept the band’s beastly beating heart. The band’s power and rhythm were big enough to bowl fans over and had them demanding an encore. It was the type of performance that has made Prieta a favorite of the Sac music scene, earning it radio play and shows at the city’s best-known venues. You can check out Prieta performing throughout northern California this summer." -Ian Hill, 209vibe.com The Stockton Record Dirt Nap Band plays the songs you have always enjoyed and songs you will enjoy for years to come through a blend of Lonesome sound Harmonies and Roadhouse Instrumentation. Three piece ensemble of honesty and fable. whether you like to get out with your friends, dance, watch the hands of the band on stage, drink tea or drink whiskey; you'll will enjoy the Dirt Nap Band. |

| The Dreaded Diamond,Wife Son | ||
| Folk Rock / Experimental / Indie/Pop www.myspace.com/thedreadeddiamond www.myspace.com/wifeandson | ||
| I guess this is where I'm supposed to tell you why you should adopt this music project as your new indie pet. How The Dreaded Diamond is Really That Different from other bands you've heard of, liked, or seen (it's not). Maybe I should make up an elaborate backstory for how we came identify ourselves as musicians under this moniker; maybe I should sit you down and explain all of our ambitions, the scope of our talents, the heights and depths of the layers of sound that seethe out of our teeth and pores wherever we go (that doesn't happen). "We're like...prophets, bro. Not musicians. Like, fuckin'...Rage Against the Machine." Maybe I should come up with a catchy headline, some clever double entendre that makes you feel like we're on the same Higher Plane as you - something aloof, you see - and get it printed on some track jackets and v-necks.
The truth is, I'm not really interested in all of that. If I had one wish, it'd be to make music that you listen to alone, in your car, on a long drive - the space where your mind is limitless, sifting through the internal universe that you inhabit. Maybe you're deliberating, or debating, or rejoicing - or resting, blankly - or swimming in regrets, picturing some other way it could have worked out between you and him, you and her. Maybe you're looking for God somewhere between the oncoming headlights, your stubbornly silent cell phone, and your chest. Maybe that's more arrogant than the former, to presume to want such an important role in your life. But that's where I really want to be, and that's all I really care to share, besides this: Thank you for listening, if you're out there. Come out and dance to Sacramento's newest Indie band! Rich Smith (&) delivers creative licks topped with the soft, soothing vocals and organ sounds of Malorie Smith(Wife). Add some bass, drums, raunchy guitar and the melodic voice of Rob Brundage and you've got Wife & Son. | ||

| Bob Woods Band with Kate Gaffney | ||
| Americana / Blues / Rockabilly Rock / Americana / Roots Music www.myspace.com/bobwoodsmusic www.kategaffney.com | ||
| Bob Woods has released four original CDs: The Night We Stole The Last Steam Engine, Don't Forget The Trains, Almost Live, and Railroad Money. Woods started playing music in 1971 with the Sacramento Western Swing band Tokpela. His band, the Bob Woods Trio, has played most every watering hole in Nevada City, while the new Bob Woods Band is carving out a niche for themselves in the Sacramento flatlands. Woods has shared the stage with The Stardust Cowboys, Vikki Lee and the Pinecones, Shay Dillon, and Cousin Cricket as well as his heroes Tiny Moore, Bill Kirchen, Albert Lee, Ramblin’ Jack Elliot, Pete Grant, Gene Parsons, and others. It was in Northern California that Kate Gaffney found her musical calling and began to hone her skills as a songwriter. Leaving her career as a social worker, Gaffney began to write alongside contemporary artists including Jackie Greene, while soaking in the Americana music scene that was flourishing in Sacramento, CA. She began to perform on the West Coast but found a strong pull to the East Coast, where her roots lie. While on the road, Kate found herself in Austin, TX where she met even more of "the good people" in music and where a chance encounter with Austin's music mogul, Clifford Antone, gave her the validation to keep on with her musical calling. Gaffney returned to Philadelphia, PA and immersed herself in the music scene, quickly becoming a standout favorite in the city’s top venues, including The Tin Angel and World Cafe Live. Gaffney has supported top national acts including Richie Havens, Chris Smither, Xavier Rudd, Steve Forbert, Jackie Greene, Sophie B. Hawkins, Johnny A., Hamell on Trial, Jeffrey Gaines, as well as Dispatch offshoots, Braddigan and State Radio. Gaffney branches out regionally and nationally with her touring, making stops at venues including The Living Room in NYC, Jammin' Java in VA, The Grey Eagle Tavern in Asheville, NC, Ruta Maya in Austin, TX, Starr Hill Music Hall in Charlottesville, VA, Club Passim in Boston, Club Helsinki in Great Barrington, MA, and Hotel Utah in San Francisco, CA. A Classic Rock Child, Gaffney recalls rooting through her parents' "small but quality" collection of vinyl records, discovering some of the artists that would influence her most: The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Jim Croce, Van Morrison, Tom Petty, Janis Joplin, and Creedence Clearwater Revival, CSNY. "The music of the 60s and 70s was honest and bold and it got down to the nitty gritty; there was no holding back. To me that is quality music - when artists can give it their all and manage to strike a resonating chord in the depths of the listener's soul - and that is what the music and songwriting of those decades does for me." | ||

| Hot Buttered Rum | ||
| Bluegrass/Jamband www.hotbutteredrum.net | ||
| "Stunning instrumental and vocal virtuosity." – Relix Magazine
"Few things rejuvenate the soul like a warm fireside drink after an exhausting day in the snow. Hot Buttered Rum has that effect. Their original songs are instantly familiar and inviting, and their easygoing versions of timeless classics (the Beatles, Hank Williams) belie the intricacy of the arrangements." –San Francisco Chronicle Initially formed as an acoustic string band, seven years of constant touring has transformed Hot Buttered Rum into a plugged-in, percussive powerhouse that wows critics and fans alike. Their left-coast rock reveals an access to jazz, country, and world music that few groups can match. While the band's music belies simple categorization, its songwriting and stage chemistry delights listeners at every turn. The widespread appeal of HBR’s music stems not only from the band’s musical versatility and prolific songwriting, but also from the magnetic chemistry the group creates onstage together. It was this chemistry that drew the group together, and that holds it together still through the rigors of their involved professional life together. It is this chemistry that audiences are consistently drawn to and caught up in, comment on effusively at shows and in online chat groups. It is this chemistry that is propelling the band to ever greater success. Hot Buttered Rum is just as comfortable plugging in at a large-scale rock festival as it is inviting the audience to enjoy its quieter repertoire at an acoustic folk session. Perhaps this is why the band has enjoyed success at such diverse festivals as the Newport Folk Festival, Bonnaroo, Grey Fox, High Sierra and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. HBR has managed to do all of this without the use of drums, opting instead to channel their music through the guitars, mandolins, fiddles, banjos and string basses of traditional bluegrass. These, along with their occasional flutes, accordions, and other sundry instruments, are amplified with both electric pickups and microphones, giving them the volume and punch to carry through even the largest sound systems. The band has shared the stage with some of today’s most accomplished artists, such as Phil Lesh, Bela Fleck, Ben Harper, Chris Thile, Mike Marshall and Peter Rowan, the last two of whom worked with the band on its recent critically-acclaimed studio release, Well-Oiled Machine. The support and encouragement the band receives from these and other musical elders is important, since HBR has such a great love and respect for American musical traditions, as well as those from Africa and Europe. Blues, folk, bluegrass, jazz, and rock permeate the group’s performances, while the members’ varying degrees of classical training lead them to invest heavily in group composition. One of the things the band enjoys most is its ability to turn on a dime and leave its audience wondering what new realms their songs will explore, while at the same time assuring them that, above all, the music’s purpose is not to impress but to entertain and to inspire. HBR is committed to achieving its musical goals in an environmentally sensitive manner. Since 2003, the band has toured in vehicles that run on vegetable oil and biodiesel instead of fossil fuel products. Doing this has not been easy, especially in the early days. But, being in a business that requires driving thousands of miles each year, HBR knows that using alternative fuel is one of the most effective ways it can reduce its ecological footprint. The band enjoys performing for educational assemblies and benefit concerts, and many of their songs seek to raise awareness about the socially and environmentally volatile era in which we live. Above all, HBR’s goal is to satisfy their audience’s minds, hearts and dancing feet with a unique and uplifting blend of progressive American music. The new lineup has recently emerged from San Francisco’s Mission Bells Studios, where they recorded Limbs Akimbo under the watchful eye of producer Tim Bluhm (The Mother Hips). Featuring guest appearances by Jackie Greene (Skinny Singers, Phil Lesh and Friends) and Zach Gill (ALO, Jack Johnson), the album marks the beginning of a new creative phase. Limbs Akimbo now signals the arrival of a highly matured, impressively listenable, stirringly rocking, and pleasantly poppy sound. Proving himself a forceful producer, Bluhm has struck an impressive balance between highlighting the multi-instrumental, cross-genre elements of the band’s sound while avoiding the contemporary trappings of music that is complex and different merely for the sake of complexity and difference. The result is beautifully paradoxical: a tremendous, minimalist pop album full of hints, teases, and cameos of the band’s complex musical personality. In “Something New,” Keefe recites the familiar wedding adage “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.” And right there, in a nutshell, is Limbs Akimbo: an album that is both an elegy and reincarnation of Hot Buttered Rum’s past sound, that borrows heavily from the rock pantheon while sprinkling in just a little of everything else. Limbs Akimbo is an album that evidences the acoustic string band of yesteryear while unapologetically propelling into the scene a mature left-coast, drum-driven, pop-rock band. | ||
