DJ Orion: (turn tables, microphone, etc.)

We could list all the didn't genres this cat is well versed in or we could let you hire him to find out.  Okay that would be fair but where to start.  Orion has gained appreciation of all genres of music (either through djing corporate events or just traveling the world and having an appreciation for diversity).  Nuh said!


 

DJ Jazz One: (turntables and spoken word)

dj jazz one

Austin's finest, Jazz One WILL make you wiggle. He is a true mixologist. He mixes the old with the new, the rock to the hip hop and the obscure to the most banging classic. Jazz One is a party rocker. Whether it is clubs, stage shows or houses, it doesn't matter. This cat is steadily becoming one of the most sought after DJs in the ATX.
If MC means move the crowd or mic controller, then Jazz One is an MC. In addition to rockin' turntables around the ATX, he rocks microphones as a spoken word poet. Recently he has branched out transitioning performance poetry to acting in films.

Zonata Crew: (Medellin, Colombia)

Don't think about sleeping right now. You have now been told of the illest rap coming directly from the heart of the most dangerous city in the world.


C02: (microphone, bass, guitar, programming, keys, turn tables)

c02

These promising chaps, Cee Monsta and Orion, are a smashing refreshment to a jaded genre of hip hop.  From their beats to their lyrics, C02 is no ordinary rap duo.  They'll rap at a funeral and awaken the dead with their message of hope and fulfillment through knowledge and self empowerment.


Storm Shadow: (microphone)

Sierra Lives On The Moon:

 

Fiction Circus:

At the dawn of time, to control breeding, the human race would round
up the unattractive and insane and put them to work in the
entertainment industry. They would dance around, tell stories, and
then set themselves on fire as dramatic punctuation when the crowd
inevitably grew bored and disgusted. Sadly, this primal union of art
and "literature" has been forgotten.

Thank Christmas for the Fiction Circus!

The Fiction Circus is the shameless promotional vehicle of local
Austin irregulars Miracle Jones and Professor Steven Future, who have
found that it is pretty much impossible to get people to appreciate
short fiction without pyrotechnics and crazy costumes. They accept
this. They EMBRACE this.

Most writers have dignity. Not the Fiction Circus! With live musical
accompaniment by Team Omega Awesome (Jason "Motherfucking" Laney),
daring feats of narrative legerdemain and linguistic sorcery, and
occasional human sacrifice, the Fiction Circus is moments away from
becoming the new international sensation among the literati,
illuminati, and transcendent. You can smugly say that you saw it
before it sold out. Because it will. You can see it in their piggy
eyes.

DJ BroadBand Selecta:(turn tables)

Broadband Selecta comes to you in a dream filled of mental coconuts and sandy beaches dropping the vibrant rythms of the Carribeans' roots rock and reggae. Forget what you hear about the hijacked "roots,rock, reggae" conundrum and experience the authenticity of a real digger. A gentleman who for the last several years has brought nothing but the finest. You can catch him at the Firehouse on Sundays.


 

Aquaduct Pocket(JBL-drums, Hob Goblin-keys-programming, Cee Monsta-bass, Orangutan-Guitar) A dancehall death metal quatro, these four prepare dicey rhythms for the trained ear referencing an untouched merger of musical king pins, heavy fast metal with crisp perky riddims.  An instrumental pack, Aquaduct Pocket has locked it's teeth in to Austin and is planning the release of their first official record in early 2007 on Raw Word Records.


Halo Rings Her Head: (Travis-bass, Gary-guitar,-guitar, Blair-theremin, Keith-drums)

Halo Rings Her Head @ Lovejoys

Already with one record under their belt, Halo Rings Her Head turns music into magic both on stage and in the studio.  Their performance is spectacular and detracts nothing from their sound. A dark blend of space and time with a hand full of 'skull crush' about sums up these five friends who include previous members of Plaid Retina.  A new album is in its cognition stage and these guys are constantly writing new concertos so be prepared for another album to drop in 07.


 

Talos IV: (Pickle-drums, Matt-guitar, Cee Monsta-bass)

An experimental project that thrives on odd time signatures, Talos IV, who also contains ex Plaid Retina guitarist Matt, manages your thought process with 15/16 measures and time bending's shots at heavy metal and psycho the same.  These three have been known to play non-stop hour sets hinting on every genre from hip-hop to rock, reggae to ambient, trek rock to drum and bass.  The newest signing to Raw Word Records there album release will consist of drops and clips from live shows and house parties.


 

Jason Laney: (Piano)

This Berkeley graduate has nothing but good things to say about the music industry both in California and in Austin.  But seriously this cat rocks the fuck out.  As the only musician in the Fiction Circus, and only piano player in Bakin' Brownies, this cat, you put him behind a piano and walk away come back three days later, he'll still be at it.  We'll have some of his solo works up on the site just as soon as BMI, ASCAP and the recording industry apologizes for what it did him.


 

DJ JBL: (turn tables)

A veteran in every sense of the word, DJ JBL (aka jubal), has been mixing it up since the early nineties.  With a battalion of reggae and the sweet melodies of hip hop JBL is genius.  Especially when it comes to making mixes. JBL already has a country break album, several dancehall/reggae mixes, two years of Halloween mixes finished and a kids break record on the way.  This cat is constantly on the grind to stay focused for future releases.
