Todd Clouser's A Love Electric:
An explosive trio of three nationalities, A Love Electric, hailed as the tomorrow of creative rock by Mexico City's leading newspaper, La Jornada, performs at some of the world's finest rock festivals, jazz clubs, and cultural landmarks. Led by guitarist and vocalist Todd Clouser, a voice recognized as at the forefront of a new generation of genre redefining artists, A Love Electric carries the sonic legacies of psychedelic rock, New York City's downtown scene, and introspective song into new territories. Having performed over 150 concerts in 2013 across three continents, ALE has gained praise from critics and fans of rock, jazz, and experimental musics alike. The Prague Post calls ALE's sound "blistering". Time Out Barcelona writes the A Love Electric experience is "illuminating". NPR calls Clouser "fascinating". For its fourth record, the band brings legendary organist, pianist, keyboardist John Medeski into the mix on the Ropeadope Records release "Son of A Hero" (August 2014). Recorded in Clouser's birthplace of Minneapolis, Minnesota with stops in Woodstock, NY and back to the band's home of Mexico City, "Son of A Hero" was mixed by Grammy Award winner Patrick Dillett (Soul Coughing, David Bryne and St. Vincent) and produced by Latin Grammy winner Hernan Hecht.

The three musicians have performed with Steven Bernstein, Anton Fier, Billy Martin, Cyro Baptista, members of Dire Straits, Keb Mo, Tim Berne, Ely Guerra, and more. In there years of aggressive touring throughout the United States, Germany, Spain, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Mexico, and Argentina, A Love Electric have documented their evolution into creative rock supergroup on three records from Brooklyn, NY's The Royal Potato Family and a solo Clouser album Billy Martin's label, Amulet Records.
Foreign Motion:
Cory Wong - Guitar
Kevin Gastonguay - Keyboard
Yohannes Tona - Bass
Petar Janjic - Drums
Foreign Motion is a combination of four separate musical forces with very diverse musical backgrounds. While all four members are active players in the Twin Cities music scene, they hail from vastly different parts of the world.
All four members draw from their own musical backgrounds to create the unique sound of this ensemble. The creative rhythmic variations of the drums dance in harmony with the powerful syncopations of the bass as if the two elements were one and the same. Meanwhile, the colorful voicings of the piano are engaged by the infectious guitar melodies. All elements are blended together and served in an explosive performance.
Foreign Motion members have worked with prominent artists of nearly every genre including: The Blind Boys of Alabama, Acoustic Alchemy, Bootsy Collins, Questlove, Alexander O'Neal, Jef Lee Johnson, Darnell Davis and The Remnant, New Sound Underground, and many more. Together, they bring listeners on a journey of sound and groove exploration. Their complex Modern sounds are complimented by minimalism and simplicity.
StoLyette:
StoLyette is a Minneapolis based duo with Russian vocals and bass incorporating giga-delay pedals and a pitch shifter to fill out the material with dense harmonies, melodies, and beats over vocals without further augmentation with previously recorded tracks. With the help of producer Ryan Olcott they have recently completed their first record, Lubymaya, released on Totally Gross National Product.
