Six Finger Satellite
http://myspace.com/6fs
Indie electro-rock futurists Six Finger Satellite formed in Rhode Island in 1992. Originally comprised of singer/keyboardist J. Ryan, guitarists John MacLean and Peter Phillips, bassist Chris Dixon, and drummer Rick Pelletier, the group soon issued their Sub Pop label debut EP Weapon, followed in 1993 by the full-length The Pigeon Is the Most Popular Bird. Both Phillips and Dixon were gone from the band by the time of 1994’s Machine Cuisine 10″, recorded exclusively with electronic instruments; bassist James Apt signed on for the follow-up, 1995’s Severe Exposure. Six Finger Satellite resurfaced a year later with Paranormalized. Law of Ruins followed in 1998. - ©1992-2009 All Media Guide, LLC
Chinese Stars

Shortly after experimental rock avatars Arab on Radar disbanded in late 2002, vocalist/guitarist Eric Paul set about forming his next project, the Chinese Stars. Paul recruited Arab on Radar drummer Craig Kureck, former Six Finger Satellite bassist Rick Ivan Pelletier, and guitarist Paul Viera to complete the unit. While the Chinese Stars were slightly more conventional than Arab on Radar’s provocative chaos, the band was noisy and weird enough to find a home on Skin Graft, which was also home to Paul and Kureck’s previous band. The group released its debut EP, Turbo Mattress (which was shaped like a Chinese throwing star), in 2003. - ©1992-2009 All Media Guide, LLC

Hello, we are the SENSITIVE HEARTS. We make the saddest music in the world you can dance to. Our live performances include both music and videos, because everyone likes to dance, but nobody likes to be watched while they dance. So, while you dance your ass off and cry all over yourself, don’t feel self-conscious. Nobody is watching you, they are watching our hovering video-conscience and dancing to our chest-exploding beats. And if they are watching you, it’s because you are an amazing dancer. Formerly known as the AWESOME BROTHERS, we are from Providence, Rhode Island. We’re just two live humans and a giant video. Let us heart you.
