DIRTY MITTENS
"There are plenty of pop bands in Portland, plenty of bands who know a good hook and can turn a good melody - but nobody pushes the boundaries of pop so expertly in this town as Dirty Mittens. They are sweet (yes) and twinkly (sometimes), and singer Chelsea Morrissey's voice will remind you instantly of a holy mishmosh of some of the greats. Expertly 60's girl group synths, campfire anthem shouts, guitar and horn licks that harken as much from the Talking Heads as from the MG's. The result is mystery-magical-oh so wonderful." --Spectre Entertainment

IL GATO
"The current quartet plays with an abundance of stringed instruments - guitars, mandolin, banjo, upright bass - and adds to the mixing pot piano, drums, harmonica, horns and melodica. The band's compositions fuse with mildly estranged vocals that have a storytelling style plucked from country-folk. When asked to describe its music, Holiday Scott coins the genre 'indie-Baroque folk-rock,' which he explains as 'folk-rock with classical instruments and a liberal use of repetition.'" --SF Chronicle
