Artist: T.O.T.
T.O.T. stands for Tanzania One Theatre, and the group certainly appreciates the theatrical. They have taken the basic taarab lineup, and to it they have added several synthesizers and a twin bass guitar-driven rhythm section. More upsetting still are their borderline offensive lyrics that have gained them some (perhaps sought after) media... [+] Read More

Artist: Dave Evans
Of all the musicians in existence named Dave Evans, this one has the most unique target audience -- specifically, tots from six-months-old to walking age. The latter designation might be a hint that the audience could eventually want to walk out on the material this songwriter created for a recording entitled Tumble Tots: Gymbabes -- Small...

Artist: Don Hager
Obscure but talented singer who, with his band the Hot Tots, recorded at least four hot sides for the Oak Records label out of North Carolina. Hager was not only a strong singer with a good band but, based on the evidence, was also a strikingly original force in rockabilly--he and his band, who almost certainly came out of a country background...

Artist: Frank Rice
Frank Rice, in partnership with Ernest Stokes, was part of a duo called Mustard & Gravy, who specialized in blues, hillbilly, and folk-style music, and minstrel-show entertainment. They recorded Rice's "Be Bop Boogie" in 1950 for the Gotham label--it later became a primo rockabilly piece in the hands of Don Hager and the Hot Tots, cutting for... [+] Read More
Artist: Ernest Stokes
In partnership with singer and songwriter Frank Rice, Ernest Stokes was one half of a minstrel-show type duo called Mustard & Gravy, who cut records in the middle of the twentieth century for several small labels, among the Gotham Records in Philadelphia, where they recorded "Be Bop Boogie" in 1950, which later became a rockabilly number in the...

Artist: Moondogs Belgium
Inderdaad, na een uurtje Moondoggen is niemand meer als voorheen, zeker The Moondogs niet. U zou de eerste niet zijn die uit pure exaltatie (en dat kan jeuken, beste vrienden!) zijn/haar huis in de fik steekt, de goudvissen electrocuteert of zijn/haar schoonmoeder tot hapklare hondebrokken reduceert. Sla er ‘s maandags de krant maar eens... [+] Read More
Artist: Advertising
Though they weren't around for long, Advertising managed one brilliantly eccentric album, 1978's Jingles. The punk-era Cambridge pop band formed in 1976 around Tot Taylor and Simon Boswell, both of whom strummed and sang. Taylor had appeared earlier in A Special Moment and the Blue Kittens, a theatrical band which released no material but did... [+] Read More
Artist: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen
Twin tots Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen became superstars during the 1980s as toddlers co-starring on the hit ABC sitcom Full House, later expanding their empire into records and home video with smash releases including Brother 4 Sale and I Am the Cute One. In 1998, the now-teenaged Olsen siblings launched a new TV series, the short-lived Two of a... [+] Read More
Artist: Gianmaria Testa
At the beginning of his career, Italian guitarist and singer Gianmaria Testa, who is often likened to compatriot Paolo Conte due to their similar, gruff-sounding voices and origins in the Piedmonte province of Italy, had much more success in the French market than in his native country. The self-taught musician, who wrote his first song at 13,... [+] Read More
Artist: coverband-Feedback
Coverband-Feedback bestaat uit zes ervaren muzikanten die stuk voor stuk al vele muzikale watertjes doorzwommen hebben. Na reeds menig podium,o.a. Krasjelrock en Belfortrock gedeeld te hebben met namen zoals Sandrine, Gorki, De Mens en nog meer schoon volk, heeft de band een zeer sterke indruk nagelaten op zowel publiek als organisatoren,...

Artist: Beenie Man
One of Jamaica's most crucial DJs, Beenie Man's recording career stretches back to 1981, although it was in the sound systems where he later made his mark. The witty toaster began his true ascent to stardom in the early '90s, and by 1994, his reputation couldn't be beat. Then again, when you're a recording veteran at age ten, one wonders just...

Artist: Band of Susans
Favoring chaotic squalls of guitar noise and avant textures over the dynamics of conventional songcraft, the New York-based Band of Susans formed in 1986 around the core duo of singers/songwriters Robert Poss and Susan Stenger, longtime friends who reunited only after pursuing dramatically different musical paths: while Poss became a fixture on...

Artist: Wally Johnson
On the American music scene, the diminutive of Wally for Walter seems like a must to avoid; at least for songwriting and recording credits, artists have expressed a strong preference toward Walter or Walt. Travel down under, however, and the situation changes dramatically, if the concept of drama and the name Wally can be linked without... [+] Read More
Artist: Marc Bradley
Marc Bradley was born on August 27, 1973 in Schorndorf, Germany. Already in his youth he was interested in film music, the underscoring of pictures, often not recognized but very important for the effect, quality and emotion of a movie. Some of his musical archetypes are Mark Snow, Bill Conti, James Horner, James Newton Howard, Craig Armstrong... [+] Read More
