Another Cynthia
This six-member, all-male brunette Bridgetown band looks and sounds like totally classic indie-garage-dance rock. I'll unpack: Fresh-faced and occasionally outfitted in Beatles-esque suits and skinny ties, Another Cynthia creates a happy hybrid of super catchy electropop melodies, cheeky choruses and punchy pop bass lines to remember-it's the kind of thing that usually catches on big.
-MFNW Handbook
Another Cynthia's catch dance pop has been catching the attention of the likes of MTV, VH1 and press from MFNW, Portland Mercury and more.
The new album "Antique Of Disaster" has been recorded as the band moved from place to place over the last year and was produced by bandmate Ian Mackintosh.
Songs from the new album are now available for review on their myspace page.
Daniel Riddle's first incarnation of his musical alter-ego was Black Acid and the Wombstar Orchestra. Featuring keyboardist Melinda DiCillo, guitarist Roger Campos and Bassist Nathan Jorg, the band quickly gained a large audience with their dreamy atmospheric live sound-- self dubbed "coma-core".
Many incarnations since the band has been reformed.
Riddle is currently collaborating with longtime friend and songwriting partner, Jeffery Trapp (ex Everclear) who along with Acid Army members Rich Landar, Joe Trump and Erik Mimnaugh have formed a powerfull new line-up with King Black Acid and The Sacred Heart.
The Sacred Heart brings with it an explosive new sound and style. Shedding most of the atmospherics and languid arrangements of the past for a more anthemic and 'sexy' sound, "The Sacred Heart is heavy like a Chevy and has more hooks than a f'ing pirate convention."
In early 2007, childhood friends and long time musical collaborators, Jack Green and Geoffrey Cecil emerged from a Portland basement with an album’s worth of Brit-inspired pop songs. They had found the project that embraced their roots harmonizing Led Zeppelin’s ‘Dancing Days’ on truant high school afternoons.
Looking to fully realize their new songs, they connected with seasoned bassist Michael Patrick Green. “We had been looking for a bass player that could help grow our new ideas. After a string of terrible auditions, Michael came along and we knew we had to get the songs to tape as soon as possible.” recalls multi-instrumentalist, Cecil.
Pines, the product of those sessions, is steeped in Northwest hued stories of guilt, lost love, innocence, and ultimately, redemption. Released independently in 2008, The Lark’s first effort is receiving rave reviews.
