"...Sometimes sad, sometimes full of yearning, and always haunting. It’s a brave path for a band to follow because the music, voice and even the lyrics are not what one thinks of as meaty and muscular; they are, instead, delicately beautiful." -Eleanor Lerman, poet Armed Love

Jaggery

Picture
Jaggery is a Boston-based musical collective whose songs and sounds defy genre.  Critics have used terms like “dark-wave jazz”, “arty chamber pop”, and “ethereal, avant- rock”.  Front-woman Singer Mali’s multi-hued vocalizations conjure up emotion and atmosphere which can only be weighed on a global scale.  Her voice can be a leaf floating in the wind, and then become an Earth-shaking Everest-sized volcano.  Delicate or explosive, it’s always magnificent, captivating, and sustained by a gorgeous tapestry woven by Tony Leva on upright bass, Rachel Jayson on viola, and Daniel Schubmehl on drums and percussion.

Walter Sickert & the Army of Broken Toys

Picture
Walter Sickert & the Army of Broken Toys is a musical alchemy, fingering the rabbit hole of performance art. With their toys and voices they create a SteamCrunk, Death-Folk, texture-core, Organic Industrial experience. Walter Sickert’s music has appeared on international and American radio as well as in independent films and on television, most recently featured on Much Music, Chronicle and NPRs Open Mic. Combining the cello sweet melodies of bands like Rasputina and the bizarre hard-edged stage antics of Marilyn Manson with the man in black presence of Johnny Cash; Walter Sickert & the Army of Broken toys are a dance death folk ride in the mouth of the Kraken all the way to hell… and back in time for tea

 “There is a curious blend of mischief and morbidity in Walter Sickert & the Army of Broken Toys, as the duo of Sickert and Edrie are called. They garnish their ominous doom-folk with the theatricality of a demonic circus troupe. Past performances have included storytellers, fire-eaters, glass-eaters, contortionists and, of course, Edrie’s broken toy army.”
