Three of San Francisco's finest emerging female
songwriters will command the stage at 12 Galaxies on
August 11th. It's a night of girls, Girls, GIRLS!
featuring the lush symphonic electronica of Artemis,
the fiery psychedelic rock of The New Up, and the raw,
danceable trip-hop-rock of ZONK. These bands vary in
their sound and style, covering a wide span of genres
between them, yet are connected in their ability to
craft strong original material and create a dramatic
and electrifying live show.
ZONK :: zonkaholics.com
After their 2004 breakthrough with Our Five Worst
Songs grabbed them opening slots nationwide for such
diverse acts as De La Soul, Concrete Blonde, and Lady
Kier (Deee-Lite) and worldwide recognition through
Konami's popular video game, Dance Dance Revolution,
ZONK's latest release, Half Human, has them joining
forces with the B-52's in the midst of their West
Coast tour schedule. Sometimes likened to "Beck meets
Portishead," ZONK is a modern melding of styles united
by a distinctive, sultry voice and thoughtful
songwriting.
"ZONK... hmmm... fresh from some other planet. We love
'em."
˜Johnette Napolitano, Concrete Blonde
"Local trip-hop foursome ZONK turns the
characteristically languorous and melancholy style's
perma-frown upside down. Frontlady McFiendish's
sex-dripping vocals lend a sultry air to the band's
quirky, beat-driven blend of turntable, laptop, live
guitar and bass and harmonica, yes, harmonica."
˜Bill Picture, SF Examiner
The New Up :: thenewup.com
With a searing lead guitar and thundering rhythm
section, tempered by a flute and sexy female vocals,
The New Up's sound weaves elements of psychedelia,
pop, ska and funk. This San Francisco five-piece cut
its teeth in the Chicago indie scene before immersing
itself in the Bay Area's vibrant music community,
impressing audiences with electric performances that
feature an eclectic repertoire of originals,
discerning covers and inspired improvisations. The New
Up recorded a version of the Talking Heads song "What
a Day That Was" for a cover compilation of the
legendary band and is currently at work on its second
album, a follow-up to the band's self-titled debut
release.
"Fear of Music Talking Heads with Peep Show Siouxsie
leading them: punkish but professional, accented
everywhere by an insistent need to add spice and
scope."
˜Dennis Cook, JamBase
"Trippy eruptions, retro-funk wacka-wacka, dance
thumps, and Pretenders-ish new wave."
˜Monica Kendrick, Chicago Reader
Artemis :: artemis.fm
A seductive blend of daydreamy beats and starry-eyed
breaks, the lush symphonic sound of Artemis is turning
heads in the Bay Area and abroad with her recent third
release, Gravity (RTFM/Magnatune/Cyberset). Joined by
fellow members of electronic artist collective RTFM
for live performances featuring Artemis
(vocals/flutes/programming), Daniel Berkman (handsonic
percussion/kora/keys/guitar) and Cliff Tune
(V-drums/bass), Artemis and her posse weave a hypnotic
synergy, offering listeners an inspiring aural
journey.
"Gravity further refines Artemis's approach to
producing lush, intricate trip-hop and electro-pop."

"A world-class creation." ˜Keyboard Magazine
