Celebrating over 20 years in existance, Birdsongs of the Mesozoic is the world's hardest rocking chamber quartet. These Boston-based musicians make music so natural, yet so alien; challenging, yet elegant; fiery and instinctive, yet elevated and studied. It's loads of fun and quite unlike anything you've ever heard.

Krakatoa is a Brooklyn-based band of bass/violin/keyboard/drums which migrated north from Philadelphia in January 2000. To get an idea of what they sound like, imagine if Daniel Johnston had studied under Bartok, or if Itzhak Perlman hit the road with the Magnetic Fields. A head blend of classical, jazz and RIO enfluences, this is the musical world of trouble known as Krakatoa.
