Time Creep might be one of the most understated and underrated acts in town. The newest brain child of Derek Stanton (Awesome Color, Turn to Crime). Do yourself a favor.
“The Sewerheads, made up of members from some of Pittsburgh's grungiest rock bands, are already one of the city's most compelling musical acts.
Eli Kasan, of The Gotobeds, sings and plays guitar; Shani Banerjee, of Empty Beings, sings as well. More notably, she plays electric violin.
Outside of ELO, Hot Rats era Zappa, and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, electric violin is a rarity. Here, it's used throughout, to tremendous effect: The Sewerheads make gloomy post-punk melodies that tear at your heart while melting your face simultaneously.” –pghindependent
On living local legend Fred Thomas, polyvinyl records has this to say: “Songwriter, producer and general audio alchemist Fred Thomas has quietly dedicated years to constructing his own universe of strange and insular sounds. Most visible as a "brainchild" sort of bandleader with the experimental pop collective Saturday Looks Good To Me, Thomas also dedicated energy to a wide range of wildly diverse bands like the washed-out psych of City Center, scrappy dream punks Failed Flowers or the gentle duo Mighty Clouds with former SLGTM singer Betty Barnes.”
DJ Wife’s Records (Joe Casey of Protomartyr and Creem Magazine) will be spinning presumedly his wife’s finest tunes.
