We/Or/Me kickstarter

After years as a home-recording outfit, We/Or/Me (which is mostly Bahhaj Taherzadeh) is making its first studio-based record. I highly recommend donating some $, because the music is awesome and it is great to support independent artists. Make sure good…

Live @ The Vic

New Cds

I just got The Tea Party’s cd Transmission from Amazon last week. This cd is…powerful. I’ve liked their music for a few years now but have been unable to buy their cds here in the USA…they are from Canada, and…
