Touch Committee formed in the spring of 2005, when Seth and Mike from the defunct Black Plastics, found Justin Martin of the recently separated Yellowdancer. It was a fast friendship and songs began to take shape almost instantly. They soon picked up drummer George Patterson (knodle / lil’ pocket knife) and recorded their first batch of songs. After a year or so of playing and recording with George, he was called to greener pastures and headed north to Portland. Luck was on Touch Committee’s side though, because Jerry Andersen (Under a Dying Sun/ Inventing Edward) stepped in right away to fill out the line up. Now armed with a new drummer and new songs, Touch Committee has started playing shows and will soon be in studio recording a new EP. (www.myspace.com/touchcommittee)

Shinobu is an indie rock band that ranges from simplistic to annoying. If you listen you might be able to hear influences such as the Weakerthans, New Order, The Pixies, Pavement and a few others. Maybe not, though. Generally, the songs are either about a book I've recently read, or just about being alive. Let's face it: being alive is really fucking weird. (www.myspace.com/shinobu)
