Oneida is an experimental rock band from Brooklyn, New York. Their influences include psychedelic rock, krautrock, electronic, and noise rock, but the overall structure and intent of their music cannot be easily traced to any of these styles, or the myriad other styles they have drawn upon in recordings.

The most striking and consistent aspect of Oneida's music is their use of and fascination with repetition. Their 2002 LP, Each One Teach One, for instance, begins with two especially long tracks, Sheets of Easter and Antibiotics, the former over fourteen minutes long, the latter more than sixteen. Both of these songs are composed of one repeated riff (with a few short interludes on Antibiotics). In addition to the use of repetition Oneida's music can be distinguished by the bandmember's extensive use of and enthusiasm for antique keyboards and analog electric pianos.

Originally recording on Turnbuckle Records (their first two albums in 1997 and 1999), the band now runs Brah Records, an imprint of Jagjaguwar (Jagjaguwar group at Last.fm). In September 2007 the group celebrated 10 years of existence with a concert at the P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center in NYC.

The current lineup is:
* Kid Millions - drums, vocals participated as drummer 53 in the Boredoms 77 Boadrum performance which occurred on July 7th, 2007 at the Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park in Brooklyn, New York
* Bobby Matador - organ, guitar, vocals
* Hanoi Jane - guitar, bass
* Double Rainbow (aka Phil Manley of Trans Am and The Fucking Champs) - guitar
* Shahin Motia (of Ex Models) - guitar

Papa Crazy (aka PCRZ) of Oakley Hall is a former member of Oneida, and has revived connections with Oneida by recording OH's most recent album Gypsum Strings on Oneida's Brah Records label.

Golden Triangle is a band of three girls and three boys who play music that's loud, spooky, and will make you aroused and ambitious when you experience it live. I guess they're psychedelic or garage or something. Maybe post punks? They have two singing ladies who sound like soulful ghosts. In general the music is like being in a fun haunted house and the ghosts are cool but you never totally relax because, I mean, they're supernatural beings.

Their previous three EPs and cassette are all sold out and gone. Their forthcoming debut full length, Double Jointer, is what is happening now. Recorded over a two week period at Key Club Recording Company with producer Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beach House, Blonde Redhead), Double Jointer has the speed and catchiness of the current garage / weird-punk / lo-fi shit with some profoundly goth under-currents and some no-wave guitar over-currents. The instruments have that good/bad blown out quality and the spectral lady singers are commanding and demanding, all knowing entities. Lead-off track "Cinco de Mayo" starts out with some slow, strummy surf-guitarmanship and gets faster and faster until the dam bursts and in come the siren vocals which sound like the band is howling derisive laughter at you. This is just the beginning, and the feverish tambourine crash-fest continues unabated until the aural house appropriately burns down with a slithering guitar line on epic album closer "Arson Wells."

There's no point in beating you over the head with stale rock journalist-lingo, spouting corny statements about how "if this one band and this other band got in a fight and they liquefied each other and you fed the goo to preschoolers, they would grow up to be Golden Triangle." Golden Triangle are buddies with Black Lips, King Khan and Quintron and play with them a bunch. If you like those bands, you could easily like this band too. King Khan went so far as to say that Golden Triangle are the only band he wants to tour with because they're like a mobile carnival freak show. That's the strongest testimonial I ever heard.

That said, Golden Triangle consists of:

OJ, the sad clown prince of the group. His smile twinkles and his gold teeth twankle. Also, he plays guitar. Vashti is one of the two lady singers. Vashti wears complicated jewelry which flies off her when she dances. Carly is the other singer. One time I dreamed that we were both robots and in an act of robot unity she hired me to work at the resort that she managed. I don't know Carly that well in real life. Cameron is a beautiful man who hangs back and makes elaborate collages; earnest as the day is long. Plays guitar too. Alix is the bassist and she used to be in Angry Angles with Jay Reatard. A friend of mine who went to high school with her said she was totally cyber-goth back then. Jay plays drums and is a chef of the highest order. His bread pudding is great. I am getting paid to write this bio with a bucket of the stuff.

--Nick Gazin

Hailing from Brooklyn/Atlanta/Austin/Memphis, Golden Triangle has toured with the likes of The Black Lips, Deerhunter, Jay Reatard, King Khan, and Quintron & Miss Pussycat. They play damaged psyched out garage rock with dual female vocals.

THE STORY: Reverend Murphy was born in Brooklyn, New York, hundreds years ago in a hot hot summer.
He had one son and a daughter: Freddie Murphy and Chiara Lee. They choose 2 different ways: the little Lee went to China, while Freddie was stuck in Brooklyn.
They kept in touch for a while, then both fell asleep for many years.
Three years ago they met again in Venice, where they got baptized by Vicar Vittorio Demarin, and there you go: Father Murphy was born.

THE PROJECT: Father Murphy is couple, a trio, a no-band.
During live shows Chiara Lee, Vittorio and Freddie work together to play toy instruments, or to play instruments as toys.
While Vittorio plays at the same time a kid-drumset and his old violin, Chiara puts together different sounds taken from any kind of old chinese toys and italian keyboards...and Freddie? Freddie is actually a reverend who sings a song from this world and the other one.
The Trio lived together in Brooklin, New York for a while, then they moved to Berlin. Living now in Italy, they play live shows and make new releases just to spread Book of Revelation's truth out to the world, even if all this sounds too religious...

LA LEGGENDA:
In una calda calda estate, il reverendo Murphy ebbe due figli: freddie e la piccola Chiara Lee.
Dopo essersi addormentati per alcuni anni, freddie a Brooklin e la Lee in Cina, finalmente si ritrovarono a Venezia, dove il vicario Vittorio Demarin, incarnazione dell'eroe biblico GVitron, li battezzò.
L'avvenuta conversione non poteva che confrontarsi con le quaranta notti e i quaranta giorni passati sfidando le tentazioni di Satana nel deserto. Solo al termine di questo periodo le Rivelazioni avrebbero potuto aprirsi nel loro messaggio più grande.
IL PROGETTO
Freddie, Chiara Lee e il vicario Vittorio suonano dal vivo strumenti giocattolo, o strumenti suonati come tali. La Lee utilizza esclusivamente vecchie diamoniche italiane o tastiere giocattolo cinesi, quanto Vittorio non si sottrae all'ubiquità del suo contemporaneo utilizzo di un piccolo set di batteria coordinato alle tempistiche di un violino antico che adesso è forse diventato una viola...e freddie...il rev. freddie altro non è che un uomo che canta una canzone tra questo mondo e quell'altro...
Dopo più di 50 date negli ultimi due anni, un lungo tour tedesco e la partecipazione ai maggiori festival estivi italiani, Father Murphy si sta preparando ad attraversare le Alpi, direzione Francia, e alla sua prima diretta televisiva, a Larsen, per il canale satellitare della Rai, approfittando per presentare uno split appena uscito per Madcap Collective che lo vede affiancato al fantasmagorico Lorenzo fragiacomo.

The krewe of Knyfe Hyts formed in the summer of 2006, when current members of Ex Models, Pterodactyl, and Oneida rekindled their 14-year musical relationship with role reversal, masquerade, power play, threesome, chance, and ritualized improvisation, re-emerging as Bubo V, Gorilla Fuckingly, and Brother Minakari. Instant magic.

The debut releases Knyfe Hyts and Sword of the Lord are comprised of totally blown out stereophonic jams, captured and completed in the Knyfe Hyts signature field-recording technique and produced in what has become known as "the Knyfe Hyts sound." By capturing the instant of a song's genesis-- even that pre-genesis moment when the elements first begin to coalesce in the ether-- they are able to preserve their volcanic original activity for posterity.

Knyfe Hyts, captured on one day in 2006 and isolated in 2007, and Sword of the Lord, captured on two days in 2007 and isolated early 2008, have now been released as limited edition handmade cassettes by Party Store Music, a Brooklyn tape label run by Awesome Color's Allison Busch. The tapes' arrival was heralded up and down the eastern U.S. by a February tour to Mardi Gras and back with fellow Party Store Krewe Golden Triangle, culminating in a mythic 6am set at the home of MC Trachiotomy to celebrate the dawn of Lundi Gras this year.

K-Holes began in an inauspicious, unambitious way. The goal was to play one show as a dirge surf band and then call it a day. Everybody was involved in other bands (Golden Triangle, Bezoar, Georgiana Starlington). K-Holes was intended to be a big party with no strings attached. Somehow it stuck, though, as the big party with no strings attached lifestyle will sometimes do.
Through long nights holed-up in a concrete room, the surf was stripped away and the dirge remained. A saxophone replaced a guitar and the sewer gas sound was complete. All nighters staring at one another through a haze of smoke, Budwieser cans crashing like cymbals against the floor, two beat up drums throbbing along with a $100 bass and the confused rage of a low wage in the digital age. Everything fell apart over and over. Each hungover day felt like a new disaster. So many shows, so many practices brought humiliating failure. Yet, they couldn't shake the green smoke of midnight's dreams from their daytime thoughts. It has been said that to do the same thing over and over and expect different results is the height of folly. Well, if you had to choose between the height and folly and a lifetime of humiliation, tedium and Sisyphean struggle, what would your choice be?
Anyhow, K-Holes did the same thing over and over. In today's New York City, barren as it is to those who are not born privileged, what else was there to do? New results came, the old adage was disproved, and this record was borne. They can still be found, making themselves sick with rage, beer and bewilderment in that concrete room, living at the height of folly. (Jack Hines)

"XRay Eyeballs is OJ and Carly (from NYC rockers Golden Triangle) new drum machine driven dark punk project. Bathed in reverb, low fi sheen, and weirdo grit, XRay Eyeballs sounds like two drifter kids covered in makeup and glitter trying to escape a dead city skyline proclaiming their love for each other as the world just passes them by. Creeped out and charming all at once. If the world died but the songs kept playing." - SDREED, Night-People Records
