ADAM STEPHENS
“Adam Stephens is best known as guitarist and vocalist for San Francisco duo Two Gallants. Stylistically rooted in the blues and folk influences of decades past, Stephens offers an independent voice seemingly unaffected by the confines propagated by musical contemporaries. For those accustomed to the rhythmically backed context in which Stephens typically performs, expect a performance more akin to Two Gallants' 2007 acoustic release "The Scenery of Farewell", complete with Stephens' intricate fingerpicking and lyrics befitting a classic novelist.” Anne Ostrowski

FRANK FAIRFIELD
“’He's like 26 years old and he sounds like Mississippi John Hurt," says Robin Pecknold (Fleet Foxes). Fairfield plays fiddle and banjo player and strums back-porch bluegrass, complete with shaky jug-band vocals reminiscent of The Foggy Mountain Boys from way back in the '40s (think O Brother, Where Art Thou?). "He's kinda crazy. He has his own radio show where he just plays these old gramophones. He just puts a mic up and plays all these field recordings from the 1900s; it's insane. He dresses like it's the early 1900s. He's born out of time, and his voice is amazing.’” - Rolling Stone

Special Guests NIGHT HORSE

Missing - Pal Prometheus: 6' green, bolts in head

Here's a creepily sweet music video for Willoughby's song Frankenstein. We've got two shows coming up with these tuneful scientists and ghouls. June 29 at Tangier and July 14 at Silverlake Lounge - rosy cheeked assistants not included.

Devendra's cult of Jewelry and War

Not sure exactly what it is about Devendra - maybe the Rasputin like hair/beard combo, probably the band of merry neo hippies, definitely the multi-facted talent - but I would follow him off a cliff. He might not seem a likely candidate for Cribs but here he is nonetheless. From a pastoral Laurel Canyon abode, he makes jewelry, remembers powerful influences and generally builds his legions.

Homeslice uber-group Everest on Conan

Everest the band, not mountain - you've heard their various members with Sebadoh, Earlimart and Slydell among others. Well a year of hard work later and what tall drink of water should show up on an even taller drink of water's late night show?

Here they are in all their eastside Cali shaggy swaggering glory.
oh and Russ - if ever things don't work out with that Watson twin...

Approved by choosy moms and stoners alike!

Maybe you've heard of Yo Gabba Gabba - the new Nickelodeon hit featuring furry monsters soft-core rapping to funky light beats. Well if you were anywhere near a Fold show in 2005-06, you might recognize our very own DJ Lance Rock ushering America's youth and jobless couch surfers into the technicolor world of such hits as "Jump Jump Jump" and "Yummy in My Tummy." If not, enjoy below.

Warning: you might want to have something crunchy and munchy near by.

Sam Sparro is hotter than you...in Europe!

Our favorite lovely diamond of an electro-funk-soul singer, Sam Sparro is currently slapping his way up the UK charts with his first single "Black and Gold". The album drops next week 4.28.08 right after Sam's first performance at Coachella. Sam will be performing "Black and Gold" along with a cover of the Smiths' track "Stop Me" this Saturday with Mark Ronson. Lucky you if you caught him at a Fold show last year before he started giving Amy Winehouse career advice.

Check out this live in studio session at BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge.
