from NYC:
-Pete Galub & The Annuals featuring Chris Moore
Pete Galub & the Annuals, the Brooklyn-based Pete Galub and his bandmates, Chris Moore (formerly of Negative Approach) and Tom Gavin, make fragile rock music that embraces pop/punk sensibilities and improvisation. Echoes of Chris Bell, Pete Ham, Syd Barrett and Gene Clark abound. The band will play songs from Pete’s album “Boy Gone Wrong”, a self-released CD which has received positive reviews from Time Out NY and the Village Voice and heavy airplay on WFMU.
“I’ve been listening to the forlorn Galub for about a year now, and how did I miss connecting him to Leonard Cohen? He’s a fine songwriter, who creeps up on you (he’s gotta stop doing that). Catch him before he catches you.” – Aber, Village Voice (NYC)

Color & Telea
Blurring the dividing lines of jazz-infused groove, free transcendental sonics and the synergies of the electronic world, Color and Talea interconnect these sounds through dynamic musicianship and chemistry as a group. Intricately energetic drum beats, lyrically abundant bass lines, and a shape-shifting saxophone blown through a wide array of electronic effects each contribute to the trio’s tight-knit, organic sound.
