Band Name	Description
George James	When Q And Not U disbanded in 2005, drummer John Davis turned to his singer-songwriter friend, Laura Burhenn, to forge something new. At first the two seemed like an unlikely pair. John had spent the past seven years releasing records with his bandmates on Dischord and touring the world. Laura, on the other hand, had been releasing solo projects on her own label, Laboratory Records, and playing smaller venues on the east coast and in L.A. How could they find common ground?

Gore Gore Girls	"Detroit's Gore Gore Girls put on a sensory-shocking show that has to be seen to be believed, as the band, named after a 1972 B-horror movie, combines the early elements of rock 'n' roll and R&B with a lo-fi edge sure to please hipsters, and go-go boots sure to please everyone else." Eric Mitts, Recoil Magazine 3-04 [ mail: girl {@} goregoregirls.FAKE_part_delete_this.KOM ] [ 1 Concert ] [ 1 Photo ]
Grafton	their vibe is loaded with coal town sludge, hometown boredom, relationship bitching, and general dark clouds with a chance of shit-kicking. But notice that most of the time the boys are laughing as they fuck up the song endings. They genuinely appreciate those 2 guys that returned from the last Morgantown show. And on their latest and greatest CD, BLIND HORSE CAMPAIGN (after 2 singles and a long player), you can seperate yourself from the pummeling live blast via a raw but explosive recording that exposes the sturdy hooks in the rocky depths, plus some weird ryhthms you didn't expect, did you? -- Review by Eric Davidson, Columbus, OH, 1/03 [ 5 Songs ] [ 22 Concerts ] [ 3 Videos ] [ 9 Photos ]
Graham Weber	Folk rock Americana from Austin, TX. [ 1 Concert ] [ 1 Photo ]
Grave Blankets	Ambient / Punk / Rock / Dirge Pop from Columbus, Ohio. [ 2 Concerts ]
Greg Ashley's Medicine Fuck Dream	The title is Medicine Fuck Dream. With this debut Birdman release, enter the world of Houston-turned-Oakland psych master GREG ASHLEY. Like fellow Texan-bred Roky Erickson and Mayo Thomson, with a little infused Syd Barrett and Skip Spence (and maybe even a little Jeff Mangum from Neutral Milk Hotel), Ashley creates atmospheric pop meanderings that are filled with sentimental purpose and dark fuzzy edges. On par with the workings of the mightily enigmatic Brother JT, Ashley recorded this all himself, played it all himself, and sang it all himself, except for one song by his friend John.

Gris Gris	"Talented Oakland guitarist/vocalist Greg Ashley's Gris Gris gang is back, with a fab sophomore album mostly recorded at a cabin in Texas belonging to Greg's parents. So it's not garage rock, it's cabin rock. Probably good that they were presumably far from any neighbors since this quite often one dang noisily feedback-filled and fuzzed-out freakfest that might have gotten the cops called -- and who knows what manner of illict substances fueled the recording sessions, with which Gris Gris wouldn't want to be busted? Maybe The Man would mellow out knowing that the noisy rave-ups co-exist on this record with plenty of catchy melody and jangly folk and relaxed droniness and other good stuff.

Guest	Former Athens natives (yet they still like to tell people they are From Athens), GUEST runs the gamut of styles, combining fresh progressive rock, focused funk, and improvisational jams. GUEST is developing a musical style which reflects a fast paced society. Their lyrical landscape is a dynamic balance of expressions of personal experience and mythic story-telling, with just the right amount of humor to keep people grinning.

Guinea Worms	for millions of years earth was fertile and rich then pollution and waste began to take their toll. civilization fell into ruin. this is the world of the 21st century. only a handful of friends remain. friends who vowed to rebuild what has been destroyed. this is their achievement.(ps, they originally formed in Athens once upon a time) [ 3 Concerts ]
Guy Clark	Songwriting legend Guy Clark doesn't merely compose songs; he projects images and characters with the kind of hands-on care and respect of a literary master. Clark works slowly and with strict attention to detail, and has produced an impressive collection of timeless gems, leaving very little waste behind. The emotional level of his work, as well as the admiration and esteem of his peers, consistently transcends sales figures and musical genres. Using everyday language to construct extraordinary songs for more than 35 years, Clark continues to be the type of songwriter whom young artists study and seasoned writers, as well discriminating listeners, revere.
