Though Kiwi Time has only been around for less than a year, they've wasted no time getting acquainted with their surroundings here in San Francisco. Playing show after show at legendary venues such as Rockit Room and Cafe Cocomo, to performances at Berkeley University and
headlining 2011's Red Marines Music Festival, Kiwi Time gathered quite a following bringing anywhere from 50 to 100 hardcore fans and dedicated concert goers to their shows. As a result the band was featured on Live 105's Top Ten Local Bands in San Francisco.

Their EP "A Part of Me" (Faultline Records 2011) has just been released and expecting high sales volumes. Frontwoman Anna Mackovchik is the phenomenal voice behind the lyrics, complimented by the talented Yoga and Nick on guitars, Alex on bass, and Vlad on drums. All friends from childhood growing up in Belarus, sincere presence on stage and by the originality and power of their music. They sound like The Red Hot Chilli Peppers dropped frontman Anthony Kiedis and started playing with Nina Perssing from The Cardigans on the vocals.

Chandelle
Chandelle
Chandelle’s family had to collectively scrape their jaws off the floor the first time they heard the voice that came out of her little body. She was on a trip to Southern Nevada from her home in a small Northern Nevada town outside of Reno. She was standing in the kitchen of her cousin Jack Evan Johnson, of popular Las Vegas rock band Dude City. It was some White Stripes song. She was playing guit...
ar. She was 16 years old, but what came out was timeless.
Just a southern relocation upon graduation, and Chandelle is no longer a fan-girl from a tiny high school in a town nobody has heard of. With a haunting croon that culls the best elements of Billie Holiday, Grace Slick and Cat Power, and an arsenal of powerful, minimalist songs – many written in spite of unsupportive parents who would take her lyric sheets away if they were found – she has become one of the major players in the Las Vegas music scene.
Being singled out as one of the “10 Vegas acts to watch in 2010” by the Las Vegas Weekly newspaper, Chandelle has been known to play live solo, but more frequently, has performed with a backing band consisting of members of Dude City and Vitamin Overdose (the blues rock band Chandelle also is a member of). But either way, her performances are just as moving, and even with her debut album still unreleased, she has found a loyal fan-base of folks looking for something new that doesn’t sound like it.
The album, currently mid-production, will be a beautifully dark representation of this recent transitional period of her life, ushering her into the next. Produced by the talented team of Daniel James (of both the popular San Francisco blues-rock band Leopold and His Fiction and Austin-based Cowboy and Indian) and Dude City's Johnson, it features an impressive cast of guest musicians including Johnson, James and legendary, chart-topping drummer Sandy Nelson, who helped shape rock and roll history by being both a session player for producer Phil Spector and a major influence on Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham.
Though Chandelle has a long way to go before she shapes rock and roll history, she undoubtedly has what she needs to do so.
