"...A deliciously dark and exuberantly hook-filled sound..."-Peter Hay - Twin Vision
“Led by singer-songwriter/guitarist Eliza Waldman, the group [Eliza and the Organix] integrates madness and irony, providing on off-beat, crazy, and intense vibe that is also fun and inspiring.”- Andrew McDonald - Living Free NYC

“The music showcases a powerful vocal dripping with charisma – Eliza's chief instrument, attracting a serious suite of talented jazz musicians...Whether Eliza continues to find her fun lyrically, or instead opts to marshal that idiosyncrasy through complex song construction a la “freak folk” standout Tune-Yards..., E&O will remain a band to watch.”- Jim Pembry - NYC Indie Music Live

"...Excellent..." -Tom Robinson, Fresh On The Net
"Harkens back to the old No-Wave Movement of the late 70s, early 1980s." - Mike Taylor, Amazing Radio

11pm- Loose Animals
Genre: Moody Alternative Indie Electro Rock
For fans of: Siouxsie & The Banshees, Ministry, The Cure, The Cult

Drawn from influences wide ranging and multi generational, Loose Animals has created what we like to call “Moody Alternative Indie Electro Rock”. Starting with the song and its emotional content, we build upon that foundation with large booming drums, vintage analog synths and heavy distorted guitars, creating a soundscape to match the emotional content of the song. We like to rock.
