The afternoon of April 24th, 2006 was a turning point in the life of Ryan Sullivan. While celebrating his roommate’s 24th birthday or “golden birthday”, he experienced a sudden moment of clarity where he finally felt that the months or “possibly years of stagnation and confusion” were gone and that he was “reborn and reinvigorated.” This is when Sullivan decided to start Golden Birthday as avenue for four-track cassette experimentation. Based out of the tortilla factory turned artist studio “Wizard Island” where he lives on Chicago’s west side, Sullivan creates wistful pop from a direction uniquely his own.

Dreamgoatz are a psychedelic shoegaze-electro-post-junk-pop outfit that hails from various limbs of Northern California (most exclusively the distorted appendage of Arcata and distended testicle of Half Moon Bay) and revels in musical schizophrenia. They are an electric makeshift rainbow sandwich floating down the inverse Ganges river made of clouds, consuming various sing-along bible songs and genetically-mutated novelty items,or so it is rumored. In another fiction, they are a schizophrenic washing machine bleaching the fabrics of space-time.
http://www.myspace.com/thelittlestillnotbigenough
thelittlestillnotbigenough started out as an ever expanding collection of musicians, brought together by an insatiable desire to make music with one another. Now, after a successful gestation period, both the songs and the musicians have found themselves evolved. Thelittlestillnotbigenough offers their LP thebignooneunderstandsme for free download so waste no time to hear this incredible ensemble.
