She shares her life experiences, personal stories of heart ache & empowerment, forever telling her story through her songs. CARMEN GUTIERREZ will prove to be one of the best singer/songwriters of our time.

BeatBeat Whisper
http://beatbeatwhisper.com/
Beatbeat Whisper is the project of siblings Davyd and Ayla Nereo, begun in the hills of Sonoma County, now living in Oakland, California. Each an outstanding songwriter individually, the two combine their music with overlapping harmonies and widely varied instrumentation, exchanging electric and acoustic guitars in one song for kalimba and tambourine the next, and mandoline and piano to follow.

3pm
Little Teeth
http://www.myspace.com/littleteethmusic
“…. Up next we got Little Teeth from San Francisco. Theirs is folk pop that crashes and yelps out passionately and feels a little like Neutral Milk Hotel without ripping ’em off— or, really, jumping anybody’s game. Dannie’s vocals soar, crack, scream out, but always sound like she’s deeply feelin’ it, deeply into what’s she’s singing about and dead-ON synched to the immediacy of her band’s hiccupy, junkyarded American avant-something. You can find them on myspace. Try “Japanese Candy” first, which has a kind of broken-down desperation that gives me chills.” From Asthmatic Kitty Records “City Review”

2pm
Dame Satan
http://www.damesatan.com/
If Quazar had sounded anything like Dame Satan, I might be translating dispatches from Zeti Reticuli right now. Ever heard music that makes you desperately try to remember if you’d innocuously eaten a brownie earlier that could have been, ahem, herbally enhanced? Dame Satan’s music had that effect.

Dame Satan will be playing Bottom of the Hill on Sept 6th.

3pm
pale hoarse
http://www.mp3.com/artist/pale-hoarse/
“The lyrics tend toward darkness, Christian corruption, bitter childhoods and love gone wrong—but always there is redemption. Imagined the shipwrecked lovechild of Karen Dalton and Nick Cave singing up from a watery grave, or Jesus and Mary hanging out at night, harmonizing under bright stars in the desert. Like any good ministry, Pale Hoarse has built a devoted following that is expanding gracefully, gleefully, with each show they play. This is music for lovers, for sinners, for makers and seers. It’s tortured and tainted, it’s gorgeous and glorious.”

Pale Hoarse will be playing Bottom of the Hill, Sept 7th
