Sabrosa Purr are a genre-defying band from Los Angeles, California, composed of Will Love, Jeff Mendel, Angie Mattson and Mahsa Zargaran. They released their self-produced début EP, Music from the Violet Room on Dangerbird Records (Silversun Pickups, Sea Wolf, Hot Hot Heat, Minus The Bear) to critical raves in 2006, finding themselves in the Top Ten Albums of many tastemakers’ lists, including that of Bagel Radio, CMJ’s Speciality Music Director of the Year. The follow-up Volaras EP was released on June 26 2009. Their full-length album, To the Crickets and the Ghosts, is scheduled for release in fall 2010; it was produced by Tracy Chisholm (Stone Temple Pilots, Belly, Scott Weiland, Devics). The line-up consists of Will Love (vocals/guitar), Jeff Mendel (lead guitar), Angie Mattson (bass guitar) and Mahsa Zargaran (drums). They have performed successful residencies in some of LA's most notable venues, including Spaceland. The Purr have shared the stage with other LA notables, Burning Brides, Silversun Pickups, Cold War Kids, Devics, Pedestrian, Cheem, Far, and The Revolution Smile, and served as an opening act for 30 Seconds to Mars on their tour supporting "A Beautiful Lie". The band has toured the US and Japan.

The Janks offer a change for rock 'n' roll on their second record 'Hands of Time'. On songs like "Dead Man," and "Billy the Kid," guitars careen and vocals rise and fall seamlessly, while on songs like "Demon Dance", the band sounds like they're playing a house party in Hell. The Janks sound like Pete Townshend going on a bender with Gene Ween, and that's just part of what makes Hands of Time come to
life. The band principals, blood brothers Zachary Zmed [Vocals, Guitar, Keys], and Dylan Zmed [Vocals, Mandolin]—give listeners a front row seat at their "theatre". Zack's reverence for tradition melds with an appreciation that runs the gamut —from The Kinks, Led Zeppelin, Mahler, and Queen to Chuck Berry, The Everly Brothers, Radiohead, and Ween. Everything simply sets the stage for Hands Of
Time though.

Dylan says of 'Hands of Time', "It was definitely influenced by
musical theatre. The first half develops the story of a young boy who comes from a broken home, while the second reflects the visceral intensity of growing up from separated roots. At the end, we see there's possibility for change."

Zack capsulizes the record by saying, "It’s hard to predict what’s going to happen next from song to song. There's a duality to the record that we tried to make clear with two halves, one lighter and one darker. The title track and opening song "Hands Of Time" is a subtle overture which has themes and melodies that are quoted throughout the rest of the record, most notably on "Adolescence",
"Child Prodigy", and "Rat Racers". With the final two songs "When I was a kid" and "Get Outta Town" there was an attempt to create some sense of catharsis. In the end, they're all just a bunch of self serving, bullshit songs though."

Zachary has been working under The Janks name since 2006, and released the debut record 'Delicate Mouthfeels' later that same year which is a collection of twisted folk tales. Since 2007 the group has gone through numerous incarnations until younger brother Dylan joined in
early 2010. In early 2012 The Brothers Zmed began playing with drummer Leon LeDoux and bassist Paul Inder, as well as gearing up for their 3rd record to be. The group has been playing the greater Los Angeles area over the past two years and currently resides near Atwater Village.
