Artist: Perpetual Motion
The idea for Perpetual Motion came about as a proposed date between guitarist Tom Carleno and violin player Josie Quick. Informing Quick that he had songs to perform for her, Quick agreed to meet. The duo soon developed a friendship and musical partnership. Taking the songs Carleno had and giving them a new direction sonically, Perpetual Motion... [+] Read More

Artist: Arthur & Yu
Leaving childhood memories behind can be a troublesome thing, whether it's a cherished object, a dream, or just playing around with friends. Given that their name is derived from childhood nicknames, it would be fair to say that Arthur & Yu know a thing or two about the process. Comprised of Seattle residents Grant Olsen and Sonya Westcott,... [+] Read More
Artist: Axenstar
Swedish power metal band Axenstar arose from the ashes (guitarist Peter Johansson, bassist Magnus Ek, and drummer Pontus Jansson, to be precise) of melodic deathsters Miscreant, adding vocalist/guitarist Thomas Eriksson and keyboardist Magnus Eriksson in time for 2002's Perpetual Twilight debut. A second album entitled Far from Heaven quickly... [+] Read More
Artist: Jim Hancock
Looks being "f*cking important" on the rap scene, graphic designer and photographer Jim Hancock should get a "sh*tload of credit" for polishing the visual look of productions such as Sammy Sam's perpetually lurching Still Intoxicated. Despite the lewd appeal of these so-called Dirty South sides, Hancock's talents remain within expected... [+] Read More
Artist: 13 Engines
Toronto's 13 Engines released two albums on a Detroit indie label in 1987 and 1989; their major-label debut (A Blur to Me Now) appeared in 1991 on SBK. In early 1994, Atlantic issued Perpetual Motion Machine, a melodic post-punk album with feedback. The band consists of vocalist/guitarist/organist John Critchley, drummer Grant Ethier, bassist...

Artist: DJ Crystl
Crossing genre lines on almost every release, the British DJ Crystl (born Danny Chapman) has recorded hardcore techno for Payback/London ("Suicidal," "Let It Roll," "Warp Drive") and experimental ambient techno for Deejay/Lucky Spin ("Meditation"). Also, Crystl displayed his hip-hop influences by recording the Perpetual Motion EP (1995) with... [+] Read More
Artist: Omar Gharzawi
Despite the kudos that has accrued to the folk music known as Saiyidi on account of Les Musiciens du Nile's appointment as Egypt's official folk touring band, Saiyidi music and culture remains, as ever, the perpetual butt of Egyptian jokes and put-downs. Saiyidi performer Omar Gharzawi is not only a fine musician, but also his culture's most... [+] Read More
Artist: Ken Baird
Ken Baird, like so many musicians, was born into a musical family. He began singing and writing music at an early age and attended McMaster University to study music. It was during this time that he formed his first serious band. That group, Perpetual Angelus, released one album. Over the next couple of years, Baird played with several groups... [+] Read More
Artist: Grimskull
Grimskull got together in 1988 after the break of the Montreal-based Fatal Illness. Following in the same fast paced drunk punk of their previous band, Grimskull has spent most of their time in a touring van after self-releasing their Autumn Flowers demo in 1991. Since then, a handful of full-lengths have been produced while taking breaks from... [+] Read More
Artist: Viking Moses
Viking Moses, otherwise known as Brendon Massei, is a nomad of sorts. He's a high-school dropout who's been perpetually on the road since 1996, with much of that time spent with his acoustic guitar, touring with or supporting artists such as Little Wings, Ted Leo, Will Oldham, Cat Power, the Microphones, and Devendra Banhart (on whose...

Artist: Empty Space
Empty Space encompasses my perpetual exploration of music, sound, and art. It is a one-man experiment, currently utilizing electronic sound with vocals, guitar, keyboards, and various recorded sounds. Empty Space is a blend of many things with many influences. I don't believe in genres or labels. Art has no prefabricated shape and should... [+] Read More
Artist: Gérard Laviny
A well-schooled musician in the many styles of the Antilles, Guadeloupian LaViny's career was sparked with controversy over his alleged "doudouism," perpetuating an obsequious, subservient characterization of the Antillais through his tourist-marketed albums. The politically correct outsider will wish to acknowledge the seriousness of this... [+] Read More
Artist: John Critchley
For better than a decade, John Critchley sang lead, played guitar, and guided the indie garage rock band 13 Engines through the release of half a dozen records, including A Blur To Me Now and Perpetual Motion Machine. When the Toronto band split up in 1997, Critchley took a bit of time off and then went into the studio with a group of musicians,... [+] Read More
Artist: Derek Douget
If a man can be known by his friends, the personnel on the first CD of Derek Douget speaks to the quality of the young musician. Jazz luminaries including Ellis Marsalis, Jason Marsalis, Roland Geurin, and Nicholas Payton join Douget on the saxophonist's 2002 CD release, Perpetual Motion, which features original material mostly penned by Douget...

Artist: Sydney Devine
Sydney Devine is either one of Scotland's most enduring entertainers or a perpetuator of its cultural stereotypes. While his full Highland regalia outfit and extensive knowledge of traditional Scottish tunes were a phenomenon in the late '50s, his preference for watered-down versions of American country songs has made him Scotland's equivalent...

Artist: Shakespace
Shakespace constituted in 1996, in Roanoke, VA, following the successful presentation of "No Phase," a modernistic and unconventional visual and musical piece. The indubitable appeal of the crew's stage presentations brought them an instant and loyal fan base, therefore opening the way for the perpetuation of their daring movements, both on... [+] Read More
Artist: Jeff Beal
A superior trumpeter, Jeff Beal is most notable for his advanced writing abilities. While studying at the Eastman School of Music, Beal won 11 Downbeat student awards. He also received three Exxon/Meet the Composer Grants during 1986-1987. Beal moved to New York after graduating, recorded his debut Liberation for Antilles, and then moved to the... [+] Read More
Artist: Raw Novembre
Politically inspiring and perpetually filled with angst are synonymously apart of Raw Novembre's musical thesis. Since their 1992 origins, Martin Kelly (vocals), Kevin Kelly (guitars), Mr. Madd (bass) and Paddy Mulderry (drums) have released a number of singles and compilation tracks that have been musically linked to the likes of The Jesus and...
