Originally from Hampshire and later London, the band
featuring lead singer-songwriter Alasdair Maclean, plays perfect pop songs.
This lineup featuring Maclean, James Hornsey on bass and Mark Keen on drums
hasn't played together since 2005. The group hasn't played in the US since
2010. The three got back in the studio for the first time since 2010 to record
a new 7" single for the Merge Records Thousands of Prizes thing, which is
their first new material in 4 years Interviewed in CF 13.

Versus



Many associate this band with 90s indie rock but they put
out a pretty bad-ass LP on Merge Records in 2010 titled On the Ones and Threes.
Another "chickfactor house band," Versus has switched off members
over the years but this year will be the handsome Baluyut brothers Richard and
Ed and foxy Fontaine Toups (CF Cover Girl issue 6).



 



Barbara Manning



Barbara Manning used to be the poster girl for San
Francisco, and has participated in some of the best pop music ever (with 28th
Day, World of Pooh, SF Seals) and especially as a solo artist. She's currently
living in Long Beach and is a high-school chemistry teacher! We are very happy
to have her on the lineup. CF Cover Girl issue



 



The Saturday People



DC group playing perfect pop songs hasn't done anything in a
while! Featuring Terry Banks (Dot Dash, Tree Fort Angst, glo-worm); Dan Searing
(glowworm); Greg Pavlovcak (Ropers); and Ara Hacopian, this is the original
lineup.
