HRSTA
Mike Moya: Guitar, voice
Eric Craven: Drums, Effects
Harris Newmann: Rhythm section

Pronounced her-shta, is the brainchild of Mike Moya who, along with a
revolving cast of musicians, has performed under the name since 2000.
Hrsta‚s critically lauded debut, L'eclat Du Ciel Etait Insoutenable, was
released on Fancy records in 2001. The band‚s latest release, Stem Stem In
Electro, features Eric Craven, Harris Newman, Genevieve Heistek, Beckie
Foon, and Sophie Trudeau. Hrsta harnesses traditional and otherworldly sound
as Moya sings lyrics cribbed from lost faerie tales in a voice that recalls
a more blissed-out Daniel Johnson or a less blissed-out Wayne Coyne. Moya
was a founding member of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, contributing to their
first two albums. He is also a member of Set Fire to Flames, Molasses, and
the ever-elusive Lonesome Hanks. Most recently Moya, Craven and Newman have
been performing in Elizabeth Anka Vajagic's band.

Eric Craven is half of the duo Hangedup, and has worked extensively with
numerous other artists of note, including A Silver Mt. Zion, Tony Conrad,
Sackville, Sixtoo, and Mitch Akiyama.

Harris Newman works primarily as a mastering engineer in Montreal. He has
released two solo albums of fingerpicked guitar under his own name, and has
appeared on recordings by Esmerine, Sackville, Hangedup, and many others.

CARLA BOZULICH
Carla Bozulich: Guitar, voice, sounds
& featuring members of Godspeed You Black Emperor, A Silver Mt. Zion &
others on stage.

Carla Bozulich is best known as the singer from LA-based band
Gerladine Fibbers and as the woman who re-made Willie Nelson"s Red Headed
Stranger - with Willie Nelson as a special guest. Carla has on of the most
unique voices in any genre. Her work is at once brutally raw and weirdly
visionary.

Born in New York City, she grew up a tomboy and girl protector in San Pedro,
CA. Carla‚s first appearance on record is Gary Kail's album from 1982 called
Zurich 1916, on which she does dada-inspired worldplay, you know, telephone
and vacuum cleaner stuff. She sang in a couple of groups- the Neon Veins,
and Invisible Chains, the latter of which recorded an album for The
Minutemen's New Alliance when Carla was 18 years old.

Carla disappeared from daylight for a few years, re-emerged, and was soon
causing traffic jams as the gamine howler in the confrontational sex/sound
assault outfit Ethyl Meatplow. In 1993, before Ethyl's last gasp, Carla
founded The Geraldine Fibbers, going on to record and tour incessantly with
that band until 1998. Scarnella followed, a duo formed with Nels Cline, and
a decidedly uncommercial, open, experimental project.

In 2001 she scored a Los Angeles production of Jean Genet's The Maids and
the award-winning feature film By Hook Or By Crook, which she scored and for
which she compiled the soundtrack, went to Sundance in 2003. That same year
saw the release of Carla's new rendition of Willie Nelson's Red Headed
Stranger. She has also explored mixed media and performance art, including a
commission for The Getty Museum in Los Angeles.

Extract From The Wire Magazine Sept 06 - Live in Berlin June/July 06.

"Carla's current release Evangelista is possible one of her most powerful
studio recordings, it still does not do justice to the dark passion of her
current live performance...........Out of a mass of shimmering harmonies,
the cutting drag of the viola & the shuddering bass feedback, Bozulich
led her group through the depths of her fiercely emotional & deeply moving
performance".
