Destructive Love
DENNIS MOST & THE INSTIGATORS
WWIX • SKUM CITY • JONES KINGS
Dennis Most & The Instigators was formed in 1979 basically a fun vehicle for the Most brothers doing classic '60s garage-rock, sporting hyped-up arrangements with edge and attitude. (This was after the demise of Dennis' earlier bands Punk in '72 and Dennis Most & AudioLove in '76.) The band's first single "Excuse My Spunk" b/w "Destructive Love" was released in 1979, and shortly afterward this version of the band ceased to exist.
In 1998 "Excuse My Spunk" turned up on a volume of the highly regarded Killed By Death compilation series, and a resurgence of interest in Most’s work began. In late 2001, the Excuse My Spunk album appeared in Italy consisting of singles and unreleased studio tracks, followed in 2002 by a mini-tour of Italy. 2003 brought brand new Instigators recordings with the Wire My Jaw EP (a CD version of Wire My Jaw with additional early tracks was released in 2004). Dennis Most continues to perform and record, so be prepared for some destructive love at Hank's!

Do The Shake
MUCK AND THE MIRES
LES SANS CULOTTES
"Taking their cue from that mythological Nuggets moment in 1966 when bands like The Remains, The Barbarians, and The Sonics spied the charts, Muck And The Mires turn simplicity into a virtue. Each song on their third long-player rants, raves, and gets out of town in about two minutes, leaving a swirl of hooks and guitar wreckage in its wake." -Uncut
The "seven-headed beast from the hard-scrabble streets of Menilmontant" and "those frilly Parisian underthings," Les Sans Culottes borrowed their name from the ill-clad (i.e., long-trousered) citizen-soldiers of the French Revolution. The band's sound is a melange of Francophone '60s girl group and the Kinks... "We are the masters of the French rock'n'roll; all others are but the slave!"

RUBY RAE
PETE LANCTOT & THE STRAY DOGS
FLYING FINGERS JUG BAND
"The throwback honkytonk tunes of Ruby Rae [are] darker than your usual singer-songwriter fare, with noir-ish and Southern gothic influenced lyrics." –Washington Post
Ruby Rae’s debut release title Double Feature could easily be mistaken for a night at the local drive-in when rock'n'roll still flirted with its honky-tonk roots. Her songs "It Came from the Swamp" and "Invisible Man" showcase country inflected instrumentation paired with heartfelt and sinister stories of guns, love, and loneliness. Backed by a full band on her second EP The Outskirts, Ruby Rae's explores the outsider element of a small American town.
