Dreamdate

"Dreamdate get right to their business of brightening our day with their short, snappy tunes. The overall sound of Dreamdate can readily be spoken of in the same breath as early '90s crushworthy indie pop a la Lois, cub and Tiger Trap. As the unaffected and uneffected electric guitars strum away happily and the drums keep things simple with an uncluttered beat, you might find yourself hummin' along with these gals' warm, smooth female vocals. Nice." --Aquarius Records
"Although their tunes are reminiscent of, say, the riot grrl and Seattle/Portland-based garage movements, they still could only exist in present times...Their songs are, for the most part, up-tempo odes to not-so-simple pleasures and guilt and sometimes feel emotionally ambivalent…This is truly the kind of music you'd want on a Walkman when traversing long distances in the suburbs." --California Aggie
"Yea-Ming's jangly guitars bring to mind early rock-and-roll as strongly as they do twee music, and the rhythm section provided by Anna and now-in-Seattle Emily can create a great garage-punk beat as adeptly as they can provide support during a quieter number...The album's ten tracks cover the gamut of tempos and tones, but the basic elements that make a Dreamdate song–great relationship-examining lyrics, tight instrumentals, and sweet vocal harmonies–are on display in all ten." --The Bay Bridged

The Parlour Suite

The Parlour Suite is the surf-pop project, formed by Minneapolis husband and wife, Joel and Inga Roberts. Fresh from the studio, the new album "Everyone's Looking" releases in April 2012. Wielding blue-eyed soul vocals and spanky Fender surf tones, the record is reflective of cityscapes & hot summer beaches. the stories are woven with vintage-pop sensibility.
"Everyone's looking for lovers tonight." It's a scene, ripe for golden moments, for time frozen in amber, for a little wine, a little dancing and a soft kiss goodnight.(Sean Moeller - Daytrotter)

The She's

Hailing from the beautiful and foggy San Francisco CA, Samantha Perez, Hannah Valente, Eva Treadway, and Sinclair Riley share a love for pop music from the 50s and 60s and write music which reflects these influences within their own brand of west-coast-garage-pop. They are no strangers to great harmonies and hooks and have been described as "The Ronettes meets The Ramones," but also offer something new and exciting to these classic sounds. The She's released their debut album, "*Then It Starts To Feel Like Summer*" in November, and have been fortunate enough to share the stage with several of the very bands that inspired the album, such as Girls and The Morning Benders. The She's strive to make timeless and interesting pop music that grabs and inspires you. So please, listen, dance and enjoy.
The Ian Fays

The Ian Fays started in Humboldt County, CA 7 years ago without even a keyboard stand for their $5 Casio. After touring the West Coast relentlessly they were picked up by an Italian label. By this time they bought a keyboard stand. Today, the Fays play around the USA and make the trip to Europe twice a year to tour. The Fay's now call San Francisco home. The Fays like ice cream.
"In an ideal world, the twins, Lizz and Sara, and their bandmates would be the new princesses of pop – in the best sense of the word: simple but gorgeous melodies, toy casios." --Panoplie Zine/Indie Compilation
"32 minutes of lo-fi whispers and dreaming that speaks of small disappointments, loves and drinks." --MTV Italy
