Basshaters (San Francisco)

Drum and double bass duo bridging the gap between acoustic free improv and
electronic noise. Equally active in both the new music/free improv and
BrutalSFX/noise scenes thriving in the SF Bay Area. Fascinated by the
physicality of their instruments, Basshaters enjoys working with a multitude
of sounds and techniques exploiting the vast possibilities available for
activating large resonant bodies. The duo seeks directness and intensity in
execution. Subtleties emerge from the bold statement of simple ideas.

In addition to Basshaters, Dryer & Heule have a trio with clarinetist Jacob
Lindsay, with an album on Lisbon's Creative Sources. This unconventional
rhythm section also has a trio CD with saxophonist Jack Wright. Heule is
active with his brutal improv duo, Ettrick, and has toured the US and Europe
with Gowns. Tony Dryer has toured extensively with rock groups including the
Flying Luttenbachers and Usurp Synapse.

Tony Dryer: double bass
Jacob Felix Heule: drum set, electronics

Peninsula Project (Oslo)

Tuba/guitar/bass trio something between a marching band, a rock band, and a
harsh noise band.

Peninsula Project is a hard-working Norwegian trio, active in the Oslo
improv scene with many different projects. They are also busy with their
rock band MOE, who will release their first 7" single in February 2009.

With a feedback tuba screaming in the highest frequencies, guitar blasting
on pitches out of control, bass sneering like a mean dog and voice taken
from a Hitchcock movie, it's just another feedback marching band.

Håvard Skaset: guitar
Børre Mølstad: tuba
Guro Skumsnes Moe: bass and voice
