KNIFE WORLD
Best Rock Band of 2009: From the deepest, dankest basement party, where the cologne of old sweat and spilled beer drifts like mustard gas, to the 7th St. Entry stage, where their fans pay a cover and buy their beer from the bar in a show of good citizenship, the indomitable rock outfit Knife World knows no master. Bound only by the limits of imagination and the technological capabilities of six strings, an amp, and a handful of drums, Knife World's compositions are the soundtrack to a Klee canvas, where everything is savage elegance and delirious Technicolor. Wildly adventurous but disciplined, an abandonment of form that never loses composure, Knife World is at once a reduction of and an elaboration on everything classic in the American rock catalog.

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.
