Lefty Hand Cream | en

Southern California's punk-pop quartet Lefty consists of guitarists Dennis Hill and Larry Giovani, bassist Scott Somers, and drummer Kenny Livingston. Friends since grade school, Hill and Somers began playing music together in late 1997; Giovani joined them after hearing one of their early rehearsals, and they began playing gigs in early 1998. A year later they issued their self-released debut album, Sound Secretion Dub, and replaced their original drummer with Livingston.

Група Ice Cream е основана на 22 април 1997 година. Малко по късно те правят и първия си официален запис. Песента се казва “ I scream” или казано на български „ Аз крещя”.

Secondhand Serenade is a one man band from Menlo Park, California. John Vesely, 30, sings and plays guitar and piano. His music is characterized by multitrack recording so he can create the sound of a band by himself. He uses multitrack recording to create vocal harmonies, and a lead acoustic guitar over strummed chords. After the breakup of Sounds Like Life, featuring himself and Ronnie Day, Vesely started writing and performing his songs solo under the name Secondhand Serenade. (Secondhand, because his wife, Candice, hears all his songs firsthand.) He rented a studio for 8 days and recorded his 10-track...
