FIRST COMMUNION AFTERPARTY
FIRST COMMUNION AFTERPARTY
First Communion Afterparty's music belongs to a distinct family: psychedelic rock. It's true: there is no other honest way to describe it. The point is they belong. Their sound is built on psychedelic bands you've heard and some you haven't. There is nothing unfamiliar but there's a fresh personality behind it. With seven band members it would be easy to get tangled up in too many limbs, but that never happens. Each song is an artful balance of dual guitars, bass, keyboard, tambourines, drums, floor tom and vocals from all over. [Pulse]

So, even if First Communion Afterparty are weirdo cult figures visiting us from hazy hey days of the past, let's embrace them. Their music (cleverly cultivated for decades and scientifically delivered to us in the present) is some of the best we have in the Twin Cities. [City Pages]
SLEEPY SUN
The band of brothers known far and wide as Sleepy Sun don’t sit still for long. Though they remain real and spiritual citizens of the Northern California hive that birthed the band in the latter half of the last decade, Sleepy Sun is a rambling band—a certifiably vagabond unit that built a reputation among American and European audiences as fine-tuned, ironclad locomotive and candy sweet heavy pop machine.
DAUGHTERS OF THE SUN
Daughters of the Sun formed and started playing shows in the Fall of 2005 (with an original lineup that included Chris Rose of Vampire Hands on guitar). The band has played the Twin Cities and Midwest since their formation and have recorded a number of albums. The band honed their recordings in their Twin Cites practice space, but thier Eastern psychadelic/shoegazer sound can be attributed to members time spent living in India. This is documented in live field recording on their Rings LP.
