#7 Pepper Rabbit
Very pretty lyrics that float along to a nice variety of instrumentals (they're prone to using anything from horns to the clarinet to the ukelele) Their melodies are a little bit of happy and depressed all at the same time. Not sure what to think of these guys. But I'm thinking they're mood-suitable so... not every day music for me personally... but maybe just right on a chill, rainy day or a calm spring drive. Either way, decent stuff. I may mosey over to their stage at Sasquatch if the schedule allows. Afterall, haunting howls are usually my thing and the Gorge might be just the place for this stuff.

Hmmm... May need to do further research on this one. Can't find much of her newest released stuff. But according to her bio (http://parcematone.com/) she's had a very extensive career in several facets of music-making. I'll keep digging and get back to this one.

I was pleasantly surprised by these punksters and then not. I downloaded a bunch and found each song was either hot or cold for me. Liked "Knifeman", "White Guilt" and more of their more poppier-punk renditions. But not feelin' their other, more generic punk works such as "History's Strangers" and the like. But again, NOT my typical genre, to say the least. Unlikely to find me at this set next month.
