"The Walkmen are five friendly New Yorkers who have played
rock music diligently since the 5th grade. Now they span the
ages 23 and 28, and have been playing together for a little
over a year. All five are originally from Washington, D.C.
where they attended the same high school and played loud
music in several bands.
In the spring of 2000, Walter, Matt, and Paul (whose band
had recently broken up) rounded up enough investors to rent
a Harlem industrial space, and convert it into a 24-track
analogue recording studio. Dubbed "Marcata Recording", the
new space became the birthplace and home of the Walkmen.
Joining with Walter’s cousin Hamilton and his friend Peter
(who had for years been slaving away in the East Village as
the Recoys), the lineup was complete by the summer of 2000.
Over the course of the next year the band sedulously wrote
and recorded late in the evenings after work. It was hot in
the summer and cold in the winter. " -TheWalkmen.com bio blip

"Calla is a three-piece band with Aurelio Valle
(guitar/vocals), Wayne b. Magruder (drums/ programming/
percussion), and Sean Donovan (keyboard/bass/programming).
The three roommates formed Calla at the end of 1997 and
recorded their debut LP throughout 1998 at their home in Ft.
Greene, Brooklyn. Calla's self-titled debut was released in
mid 1999 on Sub Rosa. Their second album "Scavengers" is now
out on on Young God Records (in the USA) and Sub Rosa.
(elsewhere)." -CallaMusic.com bio blip

Mellow indie rock, The Walkmen with a twang with vocals which
could be from The Strokes, and Calla keeps it mellow (with a
cover from Can's album "Sountracks" (the song was featured in
the movie "Deep End" ( http://us.imdb.com/Title?0066122 ).
