Sometime-musical theater actor Ryder Bach started Body Parts in 2009, and it's hard not to see it as a reaction to a life of crooning from the stage. The Los Angeles quintet's debut, 2011's "On Purpose," is shot-through with the intentionally smarmy insincerity of theater ("of all the bands / are we your favorite?" Bach asks in one song), but his provocative lyrics are balanced by intricate, detailed grooves that suggest Bach's inspirations are equal parts Stephen Sondheim, David Longstreth and David Byrne. The band, rounded out by Alina Cutrono, Raymond Proudfoot, S.A. Bach, and Matt Sobel, fuses Ryder's thoughtful lyrics – food, language and comfort serve as subjects – with an angular sense of melody, some Prince-inspired guitar-work, a lot of percussion and several pairs of decidedly square eyeglasses; the result is songs that are just as intellectually demanding as they are imminently danceable.

The GANGI duo are Time Travelers, taking from the past and the future and inventing new genres in today's space-time... across history forward and back, and it's all levy, as present is, but said that way, one states... a different space-time. GANGI's music is a bit disorienting, spanning across these many different genres... a fact they blame on all the bright lights and industrial / informational noise they encounter and we are all surrounded with as we go about our daily business in these post info age times. GANGI takes almost every aspect of their music production upon themselves at the Office of Analogue and Digital in the suburbs of Los Angeles.

Known for their incredible live show, stellar harmonies and "genre-bending" sound, indie rock quintet The New Limb are one of a kind. Their approach to music, both creatively and professionally, is as genuine as it is impressive. Pulling influences from a century's worth of song writers, The New Limb truly has a unique but familiar sound. With comparisons spanning from Arcade Fire to the Zombies to Stars to the Shins it would be challenging for any other modern Indie band to find it's place in today's listeners' iTunes collection.

Hailing from Silverlake, The New Limb released their debut album "Sounds People Can Hear," produced by Tom Mgrdichian, on April 3, 2010. "I caught The New Limb when they opened for Miniature Tigers and Freelance Whales... and they stole the show." (creamteam.tv)
