Land Tool Gig |

have been added to TOOL's Sacramento show on September 2nd with ISIS at

rock bands today is not an easy task for an unsigned band, but Kaura is
not your average band. The band recently got back from traveling to India,
Nepal, Cambodia, Thailand, Bali, and Laos collecting instruments that they
incorporate into their melodic and epic rock sound. They documented the
entire trip on video which was recently released on DVD. A Perfect Circle's
Paz Lenchantin played on the bands self-released EP last year and they
are about to begin negotiations with record labels for the release of their
first album.- Click

Britt Tour |
PR reports: King Britt hails us from his multi-genre
musical love affair of over twenty years. The latest step on his path is
an ode to the past, present and future that has been giving people flashbacks
and fast-forwards thru the many facets of techno. Inspired by his science-fiction
infused dreams, what he puts to vinyl on this testament to beats is heavily
laced with driven rhythms and melodic textures, which will be even more
apparent in his LIVE show. That's right folks, you read that right - a
LIVE techno show. Comprised of King Britt performing a three hour set with
live effects, accompanied by guitarist Tim Motzer and Daniel Potthast of
Absent Productions as the performing VJ.[see full story for dates]-
