Live acts include:
Honkeyfinger:
One-man band and Hoarse Records stalwart Honkeyfinger creates a pounding, primal, amped-up & freaked-out blues racket direct from the bowels of the earth, erupting molten fuzz lapsteel, screaming harmonica riffs and desperate bestial howling in a scorching hot cocktail of crazed Trash-Country Psych-Blues.
Imagine Son House being spit-roasted by The Butthole Surfers as they whistle Hank Williams I II & III round the camp-fire.

Dennis Hopper Choppers:
Hot on the heels of his 1st album launch DHC will simultaneously play guitar, bass-drum, high hat, organ bass pedals and vox-organ.
Oh and he sings with a rich and rugged Baritone reminiscient of Waylon Jennings and Lee Hazlewood battling it out in a Spaghetti Western.
This isn't surprising when one considers 'Chop' holed-up to write the album in a deserted villa in Tabernas, Spain and was the location for the filming of Sergio Leone's 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly'.
The villa also houses a macabre Hitchcockian tale of the villas owner who was murdered, out of the blue, by her son.
Chop's songs have soaked up this horrific tale as well as the fights, the hangings, and the hint of confederate gold carried on the wind off the dusty mountainside.

D-66:
One man blues sensation D-66 is a High-Octane, Trash-Country-Blues, devil-dodging one-man band from Hoarse Records!
Fresh or rather sweating alcohol from his recent European/Mediterannean tour he's gonna blow our socks off with his dirty-dawg show of animalistic, cannibalistic, bone-through-the-nose Screaming and Hawking.

Emit Bloch…
Son of a Utah cattle rancher and New York Jew, Bloch, moved to Berkeley California and honed his Post-Country tunes like a marriage between Patsy Cline and Kinky Friedman;
Hank Williams was the priest and Bob Dylan is the pissed Uncle in the corner.
Tonight he will go mental with his newly developed Avant-Electronic Harmonica, guitar-gun and microphones galore.
