MIRIAM & NOBODY'S BABIES

THE MOTO-GATORS

Miriam Linna began her music career as the first drummer for the Cramps in 1976 New York. The Sudbury, Ontario, native went on to pound the skins for the Zantees and frat-rock luminaries the A-Bones. Linna is perhaps best known for co-founding the legendary Kicks magazine and Norton Records, both with her husband Billy Miller.

In 2014, Linna teamed up with producer Sam Elwitt to release her first solo album, the wall-of-sound tour de force Nobody's Baby (Norton), which was lauded as the best album of 2014 and reached #1 on the influential WFMU. Linna hit the ground running in 2015 with the smash single "The Hand Don't Fit The Glove," with a new album Down Today to be released on October 2nd.

Miriam Linna backing band (Nobody's Babies) is led by Sam Elwitt, with Bruce Bennett, Justina Davies, Matt Fiveash and David Lindsay.

Twine Time!

THE MOTO-GATORS • HEAP

New York's The Moto-Gators are a swingin' instrumental combo, playing guitarist Ron Kellum's Stax/Link Wray-inspired tunes and a choice assortment of Moto-Gating covers. The band includes former and current members of the Piggies, the Underthings, the Sea Monkeys, the Dirt Cheap, and Wig!

"Heap bring the best, most shining example of The Replacements inspired rock'n roll that I can recall. Really. There's lots of the rootsy, bar charm that The Plimsouls brought to the party, too (think first Plimsouls album) — as well as the post-'Mats band, Bash And Pop and a bit of Love Nut. Rocking and almost criminally hooky... the thick sound ties in with the tight arrangements to ratchet up the fervour that much more. If Heap doesn't make your soul bubble open with joy, then are you already dead. This is real hook-ridden rock 'n roll that pop lovers are going to dig!" -Not Lame Recordings
