MARK MALLMAN
While media outlets from Pitchfork, LA Weekly, and Public Radio International have herald Mallman as the second coming of arena rock, this leather booted songwriter remains a man out of time, by his own unabashed design. Mallman’s songs have been featured on This American Life, MTV, the Oxygen Network, and most recently as the theme song to The Bank of New York Mellon.
ZOO ANIMAL
Zoo Animal is a Minneapolis band formed in January of 2008. It started from Holly Newom's (vocals, guitar) need for a bassist and drummer to perform her solo material. Long-time friend Tim Abramson obliged to play bass, and Al Swenson, a fellow community college student, agreed to play drums (Thom Burton, another fellow community college student, has since become drummer).
MIKE 2600
Starting off as a college radio DJ in St. Louis, Mike learned his way around a pair of turntables and began building his record collection, spinning at parties on campus and around the city. In 1999, he released "Yars' Revenge," a 4-track mixtape of funk breaks, scratch routines, and Black Sabbath and Sesame Street samples.
