<br>
<br>Black Fiction is a large, upbeat indie-mega band outta SF. Their sound is a part homage to elephant 6 aesthetics, part straight indie-pop, and part reverb-drenched neo-soul, a la Ariel Pink. These guys know how to party, and with two drummers with simple kits (think the VU's Mo Tucker) and a versatile "effect's man", they ain't no ordinary indie band. In fact, they're exceptional.

<br>
<br>Dodo bird's sound is shaped by the marriage of two periods in songwriter Meric Long's musical history: playing in rock/metal bands growing up in the suburbs, and playing and listening to old delta blues records in his post adolescent years. In the fall of 2002, Meric opened up for country blues guitarist Paul Curreri, who turned him on to the country blues style of finger-picking guitar, via Mississippi John Hurt, Leadbelly, and later John Fahey. Meric adopted this style of guitar into his repertoire, meshing it with noise, electronic sounds, and loops that he had developed in his earlier days. In order to add syncopated percussion to accent the rhythmic patterns in his finger picking, Meric began playing with Logan Kroeber in the fall of 2005, whose background in Santa Cruz heavy metal band Entragian made for a perfect fit.

<br>
<br>Buildings Breeding are the best new thing to come out of Davis. They combine well written tunes (in the vein of Bowie, Marc Bolan, The Shins) with very subtle, beautiful atmospherics. These guys are the real deal, so check 'em out before they leave Davis (I really hope they don't). Expect a <a href="/Mushpot records">Mushpot records</a> full length to be released before the end of this year.
