ON is a powerful, hardhitting, passionate and real band. Undeniable chemistry through clever arrangement ON believes in song craft as art and self-exploration and expression.

SLOW PHASE is a trio powered by drum wizard Richard Stuverud (Pearl Jam, Fastbacks, RNDM, Tribe After Tribe, Tres Mountains, 3rd Ear Experience, Jeff Ament, and many more) who plays like a man possessed simultaneously by the ghosts of Keith Moon, Bonham, Mitch Mitchell, as well as sharing lead vocals and harmonies. Anthony Pulsipher (from art-damaged country rockers Spidermeow) wields both fuzzed-out bass and fuzzed-out vocals, while guitarist Dmitri Mavra (founder and songwriter behind cult favorites SKUNK and DUNGEON WEED) brings the old school riffs and the rippin’ leads with that Marshall growl. 

SÖNUS is an acid-drenched brainchild of singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumental-mastermind David Wachsman, SÖNUS is a genre-blending psychedelic heavy rock project based out of the Bay Area. SÖNUS seamlessly blends elements of space, stoner, psychedelic, prog, and heavy rock, channeling them through a unique musical lens inspired by influences from Hawkwind and Motörhead to The Stooges and Pink Floyd, as well as the ever-relatable dystopia and chaos of the 70s sci-fi and fantasy paperbacks that inspire their lyrics.

Linda XYZ started writing songs in 1977 for my first band, ⒶlieNation (1978-81). Played all the usual SF punk joints; made a self-titled 45 moments before our May-June 1981 tour: Max's, CBGB's (both twice!), Irving Plaza/Club 57, Maxwell's in Hoboken, and the EastSide Club in Phillie. Got back to town and fell apart by November. In 1989, Dave Dalton and I formed Dick and Jane with Spider Valentine ('89-91). We played shows with Johnny Thunders, Green Day and so many more! ... Dick and Jane reformed in August 2013 after a short (25 year!) break with just Dave and me. We found a hot bass player, Marco Zermeno and we've had both Brian Tierney (ex-Gargoyles) and Greg Langston (No Alternative, etc. etc. !) on drums. Naomi Stine filled in for Marco after his heart attack. As of this writing (8/2019), it's been about a year and he is regaining strength. Dick and Jane is hiding in plain sight and we will surprise you someday. I started Linda XYZ Band in May, 2019 with Andy Henning; onward and upward!
