EDIE SEDGWICK (Washington DC)
Edie Sedgwick is the transgendered reincarnation of a vacuous Andy Warhol Superstar who died of a barbiturate overdose in 1971. A visionary artist who lay dormant in her host organism until his first epileptic seizure in 2001, Edie appeared at the dawn of the New Millenium to save the world by singing, writing, and producing video about celebrities. Armed with a video projector and backing band, Edie travels through the dark night presenting auditory and visual art that honors the likes of Sissy Spacek, Martin Sheen, and other celebrity co-conspirators.

Edie Sedgwick also happens to be Justin Moyer (El Guapo, Antelope) and his band and their new album 'Things are Getting Sinister and Sinisterer' is out on the mighty Dischord Records.

GIANT PAW (London)
'After littering the stage with terrifying monster masks they proceed to plough a musical furrow somewhere between early eighties no-wave and ninties rave (Neu Order anyone?). the results are literally astounding.' Channel 4.com
'it’s the album’s mix of the sweetly trippy, the malevolently out-there and the plain groovy that appeals.' - Sharon O’Connell, Uncut

That was rather amazing.
Why don't more bands beyond transgender reincarnations of dead people??
