San Francisco's 20 Minute Loop plays original music for the hook-hungry mob,
the nervous foot, the jaded indie-phile... those who hate having decisions made for them. With their unpredictable songwriting, imaginative themes and trademark boy/girl harmonies, 20ML is difficult to categorize and impossible to forget. Pitchfork says: "20 Minute Loop is one of the more refreshing musical experiences I've had in months and months... say you've got XTC. Now subtract the TC, and pair the remainder of John Doe and Exene Cervenka with J. Robbins in a six-by-six cell haunted by Frank Black's muse, with only a Radiohead CD, a Flannery O'Connor novel, and occasional visits from the members of Seely to break the psychosis."

Ex-Boyfriends formed in the spring of 2003 when guitarist/vocalist Colin Daly and drummer Chris Ohnesorge decided to get together and kick their post-band breakup blues by trying out a new musical project. Although their chemistry was instantaneous, they quickly recruited bassist Peter Harb to complete the tried-and-true power trio model. Not surprisingly, the music that came out of practice space 69 was more vibrant and electric than anything any one of them had written before. The songs automatically came built-in with three part harmonies, hook-laden guitars, fluid bass lines and punchy, danceable beats. Armed with a truckload of stick-in-your-head songs and the need for you to dance at their shows, Colin, Peter and Chris are already on their way to becoming everyone's favorite Ex-Boyfriends.
