The Dont's May 4, 2007

A notoriously eclectic indie band, The Dont's spend an inordinate amount of a time improvising in their San Francisco studio, and have retained nearly seventy hours of internal recordings since their inception in 2003. Pillows is a duo from Oakland, California. Julia Shirar (guitar, drums, sound effects and vocals) and Jessica Cowley (guitar, drums bass and vocals) have played as Pillows for three years. Black Fiction were known as Acno not too long ago. Dan Munn on guitar, Mike Crosby on bass guitar and Al Hewitt on drums. They have amassed a following in Essex and London through their numerous live shows and progressive style.Their sound has always been raw, engaging and darkly melodic. With the addition of Jen Hardy's female vocal, the music retains the same, reflective tone but strikes a brighter, punchier feel.
