FOLK ROCK
Deborah Page
Sure, Page is an attractive woman, but so are a lot of women. That doesn’t mean I’d want to spend an evening listening to them play music.

I’d most certainly want to spend an evening listening to Page play music, and just such an opportunity will happen tonight at Bob’s Java Jive. Page mixes her haunting voice with heartfelt lyrics, throws in some alternative folk-inspired guitar work, and delivers the package with presence. It’s enough to catch any music lover’s attention, not just fans of external beauty. With Page there’s beauty abound, both inside and out. â€" Matt Driscoll

INDIE DISCO
Romanteek
Romanteek’s stated mission is to “bring the love, to help people get in touch with their feelings, and to induce a dance attack.” When singer Ruby Valentine started Romanteek as a one-woman vision in 2001, these are the lines she was plotting along. When then-drummer Le Matt joined her shortly thereafter, the band’s drive only intensified â€" and the duo created some of the most ass-shaking and contagious tunes Olympia had to offer â€" and considering the ass-shaking that goes down in Oly, that’s saying something.

But that was only the beginning. In mid-2006, Romanteek took a major step and ditched the digitalized aspects of their shtick in favor of a living, breathing band â€" a five-piece to be exact that’s taken Romanteek’s groove to a whole new level. Le Matt moved to guitar and created room for drummer Heather Dunn, bassist Ean Ackerman and keyboardist Ira Coyne. “The five fingers of Romanteek,” as Valentine likes to call them, have been causing a stir on dance floors and in hearts ever since. â€" MD
