Laura Stevenson and The Cans (aka Laura Stevenson & The Cans), is a Long Island, NY, USA band, formed by Laura Stevenson (lead guitar / vocals), in 2007. Other members include: Mike Campbell (bass), Alex Billig (accordion, trumpet), Peter Naddeo (guitar) and Dave Garwacke (drums). They débuted with the album "A Record" (Oct 2008, Asian Man - aka Laura Stevenson & The Cans' "A Record") and the latest is "Sit Resist" (Apr 2011, Don Giovanni - aka Laura Stevenson & The Cans' "Sit Resist").

Laura Stevenson was schooled in the traditional music of her grandfather and grandmother (composer of "The Little Drummer Boy" and vocalist for the Benny Goodman Orchestra respectively) from an early age. It wasn't until she started performing with Bomb The Music Industry in her teens, that she began writing on her own. Privately crafting songs on the softer side of indie rock and traditional folk, Stevenson was soon tapped as the band's opener and, with the addition of Mike Campbell and Alex Billig in 2007, Laura Stevenson and the Cans solidified. Their live band grew into a quintet, often times swelling to eight members, and the following debut LP, A Record, won them fans far and wide having been downloaded over 25,000 times since its 2008 release.

Hi. For Science (originally Skynet) formed in 2005 when my friend John Slover and I decided we wanted to make a band. Since then we've released two full-length albums, an EP, and gone through a few lineup changes.

For Science ultimately needs to go down in history for having the most incredibly powerviolence reason for breaking up... coming straight from the horse's mouth: "This probably sounds too ridiculous to be true, but our singer and my friend John Slover had an acid freakout which led him to pack up his stuff and move to New Orleans on a complete whim without telling anyone, then continue on to Hawaii. I doubt we'll be able to play any kind of last show due to the circumstances, at least not anytime soon, and I know that kinda sucks." WTF. Beautiful.

Shellshag: www.myspace.com/shellshag

Shellshag is a spastic, minimal, two-piece, rock band spewing the sound and tradition of old punk with the feeling and noise of no wave; their music and live shows are very unpredictable.

These minimalists have a thunderous sound and an innovative approach. It seems that after more than ten years of shredding instruments they have mastered their tools and song writing techniques. Their noisy, pop hooks have catchy phrasing, tune and melody; their noise infiltrates these hooks and words, creating a very ambiguous sound that enhances their image.

Throughout this decade they have always had their fingers on the pulse of the times. They have played with some of their earlier peer influences such as, Iggy Pop, The Cramps, J. Mascis, Evan Dando and have been recorded by Pavement drummer Gary Young. Recently, during their one year long tour, they shared the stage and floor with such acts as Le Savy Fav, Coachwhips, Lightning Bolt, Jucifer and Ruins.

Shellshag's live act is very unusual. They created their own mic stand...the flying V. It is two stands combined, creating a V and leaving them face-to-face. During their slower pop ballads it seems like these two lovebirds are on their way to the bedroom after a romantic stroll through the park; during their angst driven tunes it seems like they are about to throw their instruments at each other (which they sometimes do) and violently thrash each other.

Shell is an animated, elongated, caricature of himself. His uniqueness drives his guitar squeals and riffs deep into the ear canal, bouncing down the spine and blasting out the anal orifice. His performance is very distinctive, using the room as his stage. He might start the show in the middle of the audience and end it exhausted on the floor behind the stage.

Shag stands up actively playing and wearing body percussion. This percussion princess plays a floor tom, rack tom, and snare, all high on their stands; she wears body percussion made of shells, bells and broken tambourine parts. As she plays she dances on the stage hopped up on a mixture of adrenaline, whiskey and soul.

Although they are often compared to X, The Desendents and the Raveonettes these two zany performers create a sound and image equivalent to none and second to only themselves. ShellShag has blasted minds and changed lives...see and hear for yourselves, that is, if you have the nerve. www.panacherock.com/booking/?x=7#bio
