About the songs on this profile:
"Not Afraid", "Devil Man", and "Palsy", were engineered by Alice (of TOY), and recorded at Dallas Austin's Recording Project (D.A.R.P.) in Atlanta, Georgia. The Sweetheart demos feature Laurie G-Force (Vocals/Bass), Alice (Guitar/Vocals), Rick Cohen (Guitar), and Micah Watkins (Drums).

"Temporary Chaos" by The Living Abortions was produced and engineered by Clint Steele and was recorded a few summers ago with Cris Cox (Vocals/Guitar), Jymi Mullins (Guitar/Vocals), LG (Bass/Vocals), and Tracy Coss (Drums).
"Ancient Japanese Love Song" is a live recording from a practice space when Pinkeye was only three weeks old, and received airplay on WKLS 96.1, WRAS 88.5, and WREK 91.1 in Atlanta. The trio consisted of Laurie G-Force (Guitar/Vocals), Mitsu Bitchi (Vocals/Bass), and Kelly Diamond (Drums/Vocals).
An innkeeper's daughter, LG spent a childhood living next door to a hotel lounge and listening to the muffled bass that bled through its walls. Fired in the kiln of punk rock and shaped by influences like the Sex Pistols, Pink Floyd, the Beatles and Black Sabbath, LG soon began honing her bass playing chops with Atlanta bands like Ultrababyfat and Sweetheart, and opening for everyone from Pavement to Drivin 'n' Cryin'.
In the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make. - Paul McCartney

As you may or may not be aware SoundARC hold a charity gig every year at Club 85 in Hitchin in aid of the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, and this year we are going to try something a little different from previous years.
This year we are going to take over the club and host 37 acts in one weekend putting full bands upstairs and acoustic acts downstairs in an event that we are calling ARCfest!
It all starts on Friday 4th December at 7pm and then continues on through Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th from 12pm-11pm
As well as raising money for the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, ARCfest will showcase all the different genres of bands that we at SoundARC have come across over the last 4 and a half years. Over this weekend a lot of the acts that you will see don’t get a chance to play a great local venue like Club 85, So as well as hearing new music you will see all manors of genres and styles from acoustic - Metal - Indie - Rock - Punk - Electro - Ska - Funk - Hip Hop/Rap - Alternative - Rhythm & Blues - Reggae - Grunge and loads more that I cant remember!
