Mid-West Doom Fest

They Watch Us From The Moon are from Lawrence, Kansas, USA, The band describe their music as 'Cosmic Doom Opera' and as they're fans of 50's and 60's pulp sci fi and all, they have a whole story and a set of visuals to go with it. It's like George Clinton's Funkadelic have set the controls for the heart of the doom. Musically TWUFTM play expansive, Floyd-esque, psychedelic cosmic doom (sharing a lot with MWWB in many ways) with big riffs, topped off by some fantastically cool and melodic dual vocals.

Mr. Silla & Mongoose is an Icelandic band consisting of fellow students Sigurlaug Gísladóttir and Magnús B. Skarphéðinsson. The two met while studying visual arts at Iceland Academy of the Arts but did not form a band until after they had collaborated on their respective solo sets during Iceland Airwaves 2005 at a café by the name of Kaffi Hljómalind.
