RMC #148 Tracy Klas 06.10.07

Tracy Klas is a show business baby born in the heart of beast with gogo boots in standing in the corner. She is sweet and honest and real. The songs feel like old friends, familiar and conversational. There is passion just under the surface though and you're left dreaming. MySpace.com/TracyKlas

RMC #147 Trick Sensei 06.03.07

Trick Sensei. Great band. The dancing of two ambient guitars to a primitive bonfire rhythm always gets my attention. They have a little boy grown vocal sound I find sincere and compelling. A multi-layered dessert for you head. Eat it! TrickSensei.com

RMC #146 Trick Sensei 06.03.07

Trick Sensei's trick is the ambient interpay of dreamy guitar effects and throbbing rhythm. A hot summer night in a Portland hipster bar with only somewhat subdued passion. This is 'lose yourself' music. They buids and washes over. tricksensei.com
