ZOOBOMBS (東京都, Japan psych Indie Garage)
With a little bit of Japanese noise plus plenty of Stonesy riff-rock and occasional rapping (in two languages), the Zoobombs were formed in 1994 by vocalist and guitarist Don Matsuo with keyboard player Mattaira, drummer Bukkabilly, and someone known as Moo-Stop. The band played around Japan and recorded a cassette EP for sale at shows. After supporting the Flaming Lips and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion on a West Coast tour, the Zoobombs recorded their debut album Welcome Back, Zoobombs!, which earned distribution in America through Emperor Norton Records. The Zoobombs also publish their own newspaper/fanzine, Bozoobomb, and in 1999 issued their second album, Let It Bomb. ~ John Bush, Rovi http://thezoobombs.com

THE BAND WHOSE NAME IS A SYMBOL (Ott Free Psych Rock
Ottawa's most prolific Krautrockers make a rare visit to TARG for what is surely to be a memorable journey into furthest reaches of sonic experimentalism. This 6 piece sounds like Hawkwind meets Acid Mothers Temple with Krautrock, progressive and middle-eastern tones.

SHOOK BOYS (Toronto Rockabilly Delinquents)
Wild Rock'n'Roll. Shook Boys are a manic rockabilly band hailing from Toronto, Canada. The band draws inspiration from the 1950s rock and roll era, infusing their music with a modern sound that pushes the boundaries of rockabilly while staying true to its roots.
