It's no surprise that "Not For Love Or Money", the debut album by Aussie roots/rock powerhouse Dallas Frasca has a sense of exhilaration and dynamics throughout. That's because Frasca and her partner in crime, Jeff Curran (guitarist) wrote the tracks during a heavy-duty bout of touring.

AV大久保

www.myspace.com/avokubo Hailing from industrial Wuhan, AV Okubo was founded in 2006. The name of the band comes from a part of a Hong Kong Movie, First Love:The Litter on The Breeze. Their performances are electrifying and burst with the crackling energy and sophisticated take on our throwaway garbage culture that animates the best pulp fiction and b-movies of the 1940s and 1950s. All the band members in AV Okubo were born in the 1980s, and it clearly comes through in their music.
