Jacking more power into a machine requires a little effort and ingenuity…especially when using it on location. But when Girl + The Machine hit up the El Mocambo they amped things up while taking things down a notch – call it alternating current. Check out “Inside Outside” and “We Take The Train”.

That’s what hunters do….no seriously….kill deer. It’s also the name of a North American bird. It’s kinda brown and has spots, quite dissimilar from the two ladies of Kildear though. Check out “Seeds” and “Slippery Elm” – birds don’t make songs like this. Kildear on Myspace.

Every single one of us has a devil inside, and The Indie Machine is no different: this week we indulged our inner demons and joined up with Toronto’s Black Devils Brigade at THEIR locale to put together battleplans for a war-like onslaught of the music-loving populous.
