make your days warm and full of Love. They'll be the
cure to your pain, the space where you can feel safe
with the sound of a song. They want to be your

 Global
Crash
Global Crash has been making music and
experimenting with sound since 1995- with everything
from ambient, IDM, electronic, big beat, trance,
breakbeat, experimental and electronica. Crash has
been in projects such as Disturb the Equilibrium,

of music that would make you want to dance and the
kind that would make you want to chill out and
contemplate the meaning of existence.

 Patmos Brothers Revival
Drawing from a wide range of influences they
combine old time country, bluegrass, blues,
rockabilly and many other styles to create a high
energy sound. Each member of PBR is unique and
contributes a wide range of knowledge and
influences, some of which are only just beginning to
appear in the overall sound of the band. Joe has
worked in several bands, including Fat Thomas and
Groofus, playing guitar and contributing vocals. In
recent years the mandolin has become his main
instrument and in addition to this Joe also
contributes vocals and his song writing skills to
the band. Andy has worked in several bands over the
years, including the Maple Sugar Gang, Anything
Goes, and the Lockhart Mtn. Boys. His main role in
PBR is on guitar, harp and vocals, but on occasion
he is still seen pickin’ his banjo and other
instruments he has learned over the years. Drew has
been playing bass for years and has played in
several bands from Colorado to Rhode Island,
including Fat Thomas with Joe. In addition to bass
Drew also contributes to the vocals.

 The Glass Jars
The Glass Jars purposefully defy categorization.
They are folk rock acoustic fuzz traditional indie
experimental pop troubadours. Each song is fit
within the genre that best frames the lyrics while
retaining an over-arching Glass Jars sound. Led by
front man and storyteller, Liam Dailey, but not
multi-instrumentalist and musical visionary, David
Lee, the band is completed by drummer Luke Henry and
pianist Chris Nota. The band has been fermenting in
Luke's basement for two years building up a
repertoire of Liam's best material and perfecting
it's line-up, and is now ready to burst onto the
local scene with an LP of our current ballads, as
well as an archive of our less prided work.

 The
Abominables
To know where the Abominables are, you need to
know where they came from. Chris K. and Mike C. were
in this band called The Flukes (maybe you know of
them). But that band broke up. Luke "The Big Cheese"
Whipple, Matt K., and Big Benny B., were in The
Better Deal who also broke up. Voltron was in some
band called... well I can't really remember the
name, but that one broke up too. So, since we all
liked playing music and we all liked a lot of the
same types of music, we started the super-group that
is now known as The Abominables.
