Band Name	Description
The Lab Rats	Talk about your cool hybrids. The Lab Rats work an amazing groove informed by the jammed-out Riff Rock of MC Brian Brown on electric guitar and the mad breakbeats and electronic touches of DJ Kelly Warner, a multi-instrumentalist with two turntables and a microphone (and a pedal steel and keys and congas). With Brown\'s suburban-weary songs of everyday frustration and Warner\'s broadly whacked musical accompaniment, the Lab Rats will be your new favorite experiment.

The Last Hotel	Lead singer and songwriter Ryan Horns has an inspiring vocal that is, at its most impassioned, captivating; when subdued, he has a sorrowful tone that is equally engaging. [ 3 Songs ] [ 3 Concerts ] [ 3 Photos ]
The Launderettes	The Launderettes are five fabulous girls who play raw 60`s garage punk. They found each other in Oslo, Norway, through their common passion for fuzz, farfisa and frenzy. [ mail: mari @ girlsquad_dot_no ] [ 1 Concert ] [ 1 Photo ]

Lollipop Factory	When Lollipop Factory isn't implementing it's plans for interstellar domination, the band boldly goes where many bands have gone before - in search of new audience and the final frontier. The band's four members join together in complex vocal harmonies laid over heavy rock music. The overall effect sounds something like a mix between Jellyfish and obscure prog-rockers, Gentle Giant. "Alot of the hair-bands that we're influenced by were really glam bands from the "70's," guitarist/vocalist, David Tweed said. "We always get pegged with the Queen-thing. I guess we have our tongue in Freddy's cheek a little bit." Along with it's orchestral arrangements and intricately stacked harmonies, Lollipop Factory likes to mix up their shows with musical time changes. "We like to pull the rug out from people every now and then," Tweed said. "We like to give people whiplash." The band's surre! al music is augmented by an energetic and visual stage show that adds to the psychedlic atmosphere. "We're the kind of band that people can just sit back and drink it all in."

Lost Sounds	Before garage rock "broke out" into the world of MTV2, the foremost blueprint for what was to be the sound of the LOST SOUNDS was the Nuggets box set. But with a stockpile of analog keyboard previously collected for use in the new-wavy Sid barret-esque CLEARS and the Killed by Death/Bloodstains persuasion on members of the REATARDS an indescribable sound was forged. Rich, Jay and Alicja made haste and used these influences to fill a void between the both dying garage scene and suffering hardcore scene in Memphis.
