So what's this Skipping Stones thing? We'll tell you about the players.

WILLIAM:

Hi, my name is William. To the left is a picture of me when I was about six.

I have been involved in music in one way or another since before that photo

was taken. I've been in a lot of bands like: CIA, Reflex From Pain, 76% Uncertain,

Onion, Shelter, Explodee (with Greg Vegas from Monsterland) and Names for Pebbles.

A few others too, which you may or may not have heard of. I've done a lot of

recording and producing of bands. If you want to know who, just e mail me! Right

now I make a living as the Creative Director of an Interactive Media company.

Music is my true passion though, like air, I need it to live.



CHRISTINE:

Hi, my name is Christine. I grew up in the Green Mountains and made my way to

CT via New York and art school. I love flowers, making pretty things and stuff

that sparkles. Sometimes I wish I lived in a different century, like Victorian England, Imperial China or the Renaissance. My favorite color is periwinkle.

The Besties of NYC are

Marisa and Kelly boards / vocals and Ricky on guitar. Their debut album,

"Singer", was released on Valentine's Day, 2006 to raving reviews. This

album is almost sold out!

"bright, bubbly and downright infectious" SoundsXP

"melts the hardest of hearts" Magnet

"assured and catchy, not to mention kinda touching" Time Out / New

York

Lili de la Mora and Rodney Sellars make up the duo The

Year Zero from Long Beach, CA. Lili's gentle vocals weave together with

Rodney's layerings of guitars and keyboards to create futuristic dream pop soundscapes

reminiscent of early shoegaze.

"swoony dreamscapes that are ethereal, dreamy and even a bit ambient"

indiepages

"gleaming lo-fi ambient anthems that suggest My Bloody Valentine with an

elegant hangover" music.download.com

Swedish pop trio The Charade,

comprised of members of Happydeadmen, The Shermans and Red Sleeping Beauty,

released their second album, emblazoned in Swedish colors, in June. Swedish

newspaper Expressen compares The Charade to The Cardigans and has pronounced

the song "Dressed in Yellow and Blue" as the best tribute to the Swedish World

Cup Soccer Team.

"the sweetest pop song I've heard written for a World Cup team.it's

from The Charade, and like most Swedish pop floating around these days, is catchy

and beautiful." extrawack.com

Dyrdin's self titled album was released just before Popfest! New England. They played to a packed house. It was their second time to the US and their second popfest.

"What makes great indie pop? Sensitive lyrics? Adorability? When you sing in Icelandic about dreamy ski instructors and mesh an infectious blend of girl-pop and C-86, there is no rubric for pop; there is just Dyrdin."
