It's not just great song writing, warm guitars, a nut-tight rhythm section, and the occasional blues harp riffs that make The Stone Foxes' second album, Bears & Bulls, so good; the Bay Area four-piece consisting of brothers Shannon and Spence Koehler, Aaron Mort, and Avi Vinocur have captured something else on this recording that makes the whole thing huge, and very, very cool.

Stripped down at heart, Mahgeetah finds common ground with the attitude and conviction of rock and roll music. Distorted riffs, three part harmonies, and heavy piano lay an alternative foundation for any particular confined rock genre and stretch further than any blues or Americana stereotype.

Their songs on a skeletal level very much please the cherished pop side of music, but the drive seems to almost always fall back on loud heavy climaxes. For them, improvisation is a character that acts as an extension of their melodic sensibilities. They tell themselves to slow down, but clearly are attached to the idea of their music as fast, loud, and heavy.

Their debut album HEAVY BABY comes out Summer 2012
Black Cobra Vipers
Black Cobra Vipers
Bassist Julian Borrego and guitarist Gregory DiMartino grew up in the same town of Sherman Oaks in Los Angeles and would often watch each other from afar. Later in life, they saw each other in the dorms at SF State where Gregory then had courage enough to approach the elusive Spaniard. They would play acoustic guitars in peculiar meadows around campus under moonlight. One time passing by a window, a woman shouted "Y'all sound real cool!" Said woman turned out to be a man; future drummer Rob Mills. Rob and Julian, being music majors, would jazz out all day, developing a cool pocket. All the vibes were put into a metaphorically clay jar and each of them drank from it and grew a little taller inside. Julian bought a two-headed snake from Gregory's dad which inspired the band name. Drummer Rob cuts his own hair and violently eats. Based in San Francisco, Black Cobra Vipers play Passion-Rock-Art music for willing humans of all types, because it would be impolite not to.
