Gildon Works brings its lush, shimmering melodies and layered percussion to our stage once again. Ethereal, moody, songs build and crescendo - it is entrancing...

"Ethereal but physical, Gildon Works, hailing from Philadelphia, throws together a sound that lilts at times atmospheric, but is at its core intense, forceful and demanding. The songs are passionate, but finely crafted. Ambient noise rises and reverberates, like voices from a choir circling an empty cathedral, over songs punctuated with moments of clarity. Strong chords emerge on the first listen, but over time the songs reveal their structural and compositional intricacy, with rhythms layered and nested like Russian dolls." JMZ

This is the second JBs appearance of Nottingham, England's Scout Niblett. She's a brash, intelligent songwriter. She has a strong, stark voice and a penchant for songs containing only drums, acid guitar, and vocals. Her lyrics create their own place where love and its complimentary senses rule and take on their own lives. Her new album, “the calcination of scout niblett”, will be coming out on Drag City on vinyl, c.d and digital download on january 19th.

"The Philly trio pairs gorgeously bristling guitarwork with airy vocal nonchalance, jaunty tunefulness with whip-smart, world-wise tales.
Like Pavement, the Shins, and Rogue Wave, the boys of Walker Lundee balance their wiseacre leanings with genuine tenderness. Check out the heart-smart wonderings of Vodka-Soda Number 3 Did it happen if its forgotten? Is it true if the lights are out? How often do pop songs blossom with such memorable rhetorical questions?" -Doug Wallen
