MAGIC BULLETS(SAN FRANCISCO):

Magic Bullets have a come a long way since the release of their debut, a CHILD but in life yet a DOCTOR in love last year. In just over a year the band has gone from playing the underground clubs of San Francisco to supporting bands like Cold War Kids, Voxtrot and French Kicks, headlining tours, getting spins on commercial radio (KITS, KJEE, KATT, etc.) and selling out shows in their hometown of San Francisco. The band puts 100% into every show they play, which is evidenced by their popularity in every market they've been through. Influenced by everything from Orange Juice to The Smiths to The Stone Roses. Live For Romance shows that Magic Bullets continue to explore the sounds of 80s pop with a strong understating of what made their influences so great.



THE LITTLE PENGUINS:

...touched by the brilliant melancholy that turns a simple rock lineup into something special...Cape is an album of eerie sonic mutations, a sumptuous combination of shoegaze-y pedal work, Americana and modern cynicism.
-Sara Brickner, Seattle Weekly

Amongst the list of bands I've been meaning to check out, The Little Penguins would be pretty close to the top. Led by Will Hallauer, drummer for The Turn-Ons (one of my favorite Northwest bands altogether), The Little Penguins have a straight-forward approach to pop songwriting. Hallauer's voice somewhere falls in between Bob Dylan and Morrissey's and the band's songs are catchy with an impressive lyrical depth.
-Three Imaginary Girls

…Blur meets the Velvets meets Lee & Nancy with just a touch of twang. With a new album, 'Offer You This Cape', due at summers end, Hallauler and company are poised to be the latest hosts of the Seattle "it band" party.
Ma'chell Duma LaVassar, Seattle Weekly

"The Little Penguins create a casually dramatic cocktail of straight forward pop-rock and punk, utilizing crisp indie guitars, diverse song structures…" -90.
3 KEXP Seattle

The Little Penguins are an indie delight, pure and simple… that dreamy, easy Sunday afternoon car-ride sound that so many indie acts strive for and so many car commercials pay money for.
-Matt Driscoll, Weekly Volcano
