It is advisable that all work schedules be cleared in order to witness this once in a lifetime event.” -Danger Sax Machine-Professional Superhero. The Professional Superheroes are a group of super-power enabled musicians who combat evil-doers by playing covers of the most amazing obscure independent bands. If all goes as planned, their favorite bands will become your favorite bands. See the super songlist of justice on their Myspace site for a complete list of bands that they cover.
Dreamgoatz are a psychedelic shoegaze-electro-post-punk-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.
