Botanica (band)
Botanica is a New York based band, founded in Los Angeles in 1999, led by erstwhile Firewater co-conspirator, keyboardist/singer Paul Wallfisch.
 Named for those mysterious stores stocking spells, potions and artifacts of ritual, Botanica features strings, musical saw, toy piano, omnichord, optigan and other odd keyboards and is known for a dynamic and eclectic mix of gypsy and punk-cabaret infused chamber rock.
 Members and collaborators have included Brian Viglione (of The Dresden Dolls), Jason Binnick (The Flesh, Hallelujah), Miriam Eicher (Hallelujah, Cardiac Move), Abby Travis, (Beck, Elastica, KMFDM), Ivan Knight, (Stan Ridgeway), Daniel Ash, (Bauhaus, Love & Rockets), Frankie Infante, (Blondie), Kid Congo Powers, (Nick Cave, Cramps), Oren Kaplan, (Gogol Bordello), Matt Flynn, (Maroon 5), and Anne de Wolff, (Calexico, Neko Case).
 Since 2002, the core of the band has been Wallfisch and guitarist/songwriter John Andrews, with bassist and vocalist Dana Schechter, (Bee and Flower), recently taking over for Christian Bongers.
 Botanica has worked with various producers including Martin Bisi, Moses Schneider, Pete Min and Tamir Muskat.
 "Malediction", the band's first album was released on Checkered Past Records in the U.S. and Cargo in Europe.
 Botanica toured nationally from 1999-2002, including support dates with 16 Horsepower, Super Furry Animals and Rocket From the Crypt.
 The band's subsequent albums have all been released exclusively in Europe, the last 3 through Germany's Rent A Dog label.
 The third album, "Botanica vs. the Truth Fish", features a cover painting courtesy of renowned British artist Dexter Dalwood.
 Among TV and radio appearances in several countries, the band has taped a full concert for the legendary Rockpalast show on Germany's WDR.
 "Berlin Hi-Fi", Botanica's 4th album came out in May '06 and was featured as a Visions Magazine "Beauty of the Month."
 Botanica has toured Europe twice a year since 2002, their last appearances in October 2007 presented by the German magazines Visions, Intro and Westzeit.
 Botanica contributed the track ""Broken Bicycles"" to the Tom Waits tribute album "New Coat of Paint" released on Manifesto Records in 2002 and also featuring Screaming Jay Hawkins, Carla Bozulich, Lydia Lunch and Sally Norvell accompanied by Paul Wallfisch at the piano.
 Botanica's music has been used in several films including "Men Cry Bullets" (Phaedra), and "The Takedown"(Dimension/Miramax).

 Wallfisch also scored the film.
Adrien Brody

 He received widespread recognition and acclaim after starring in Roman Polanski's "The Pianist" (2002), for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor at age 29, making him the youngest actor to win in that category.

Mandrill (album)
Mandrill is the debut album by Brooklyn, New York based band Mandrill released in 1971.
 The album peaked at number twenty-seven on the "Billboard" R&B albums chart. Everybody (Gods Child album)
Everybody was the debut album from New York based band Gods Child.
 The band members (Chris Seefried on vocals, guitars, and Mellotron; Gary DeRosa on keyboards; Craig Ruda on bass, and Alex Alexander on drums, percussion, and loops), all hail from the burroughs of the Big Apple, and cite Patti Smith and the Velvet Underground as their main inspirations.
 However, the best tracks on this album (such as "Wolf", which features spiky, over-amped guitars against a stressed-out string section, and "Stone Horses", which kicks off with a funky Mellotron before sliding into a smooth, danceable beat) show the unmistakable influence of Ireland's finest export.
 "Everybody" comes from the "Zooropa" school.
 This result is not surprising, considering that "Everybody" was mixed by Robbie Adams, who also worked on "Zooropa". The Negatones
The Negatones is a Brooklyn, New York based band, founded by siblings Jay Braun (vocals, guitar, synthesizers) and Justin Braun (vocals, bass, synthesizers) with Jun Takeshta (guitar, synthesizers, vocals, mallet instruments) and Jesse Wallace (drums, electronic drums, percussion, vocals). Ceili Rain
Ceili Rain is a Celtic music influenced Syracuse, New York based band led by Bob Halligan, Jr., founded in May 1995.
 As the group’s founder Bob Halligan, Jr. explains, in Gaelic, the word "Céili" (pronounced kay-lee) means "party", specifically one with live musicians, dancing, and general merriment for an all-ages crowd.
 "Coeli" is a form of the Latin word for "heaven".
 Rain is English, meaning downpour.
 Thus, according to Halligan, Ceili Rain is a "downpour of heavenly partiness." Dummy (film)
Dummy is a 2002 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Greg Pritikin.
 It stars Adrien Brody, Milla Jovovich, Illeana Douglas, Vera Farmiga, and Jared Harris.
