We have two bands from Germany contributing cool tunes: Kadaver from Berlin, and Liquid Orbit from Bremen. Out in Australia, Melbourne – we have Eggy’s new album. Out in Poland we welcome Weedpecker for the first time at The Little Lighthouse. And we also have two new projects by Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth, his band Winged Wheel based in Detroit and trio Orcutt Shelley Miller based in San Francisco.
