[From All Music.com-Jason Ankeny] After gaining a foothold in the contemporary Christian music scene, alternative rockers Switchfoot went mainstream with 2003's The Beautiful Letdown, a double-platinum album that straddled the line between sacred and secular rock music. Emerging in the late '90s with a pair of indie LPs marketed to CCM radio, the band began adding elements of synth rock, post-grunge, 
and power pop to its oeuvre in the 2000s, resulting in chart-topping major-label successes like Nothing Is Sound (2005) and Hello Hurricane (2009), the latter of which brought home a Grammy Award for Best Rock Gospel Album. Describing themselves as "Christian by faith, not by genre," Switchfoot continued to beat the modern rock drum into the 2010s and beyond, releasing a string of well-received efforts like Where the Light Shines Through, Native Tongue, and Interrobang.
Years before Switchfoot's commercial breakthrough, though, the group struggled to make a dent in the San Diego area, where singer/guitarist Jonathan Foreman, bassist Tim Foreman, and drummer Chad Butler began playing together in 1996.

The curly-haired and boldly beautiful Glazer described her comedy as vulnerable, saying "whatever feels most terrifying, I want to go to there." 
Glazer grew up in Long Island, NY. As children, she and her brother Eliot performed comedy sketches together. Glazer followed in her brother's footsteps to attend New York University, and both siblings also studied comedy at New York's famous Upright Citizens Brigade. They created a standup show called "High School Talent Show," in which Glazer performed as an awkward matronly teacher. The show ran for three years and was nominated for an Emerging Comic New York (ECNY) award.
[From All Music.com-Sandra Brennan] The internationally renowned and versatile Argentine band Los Fabulosos Cadillacs have been thrilling audiences with their eclectic mixture of rock, rap, ska, reggae, and traditional South American sounds for over ten years. The nine-piece band began in 1985 
and chose the name Los Fabulosos Cadillacs only because they thought it sounded good. Then as now, the band is run democratically and there is no single leader; the bandmembers play whatever style most appeals to them at the moment and each of their ten albums is different from the last. In 1995 they recorded the album Rey Azucar for S.D.I./Sony and featured guest appearances from Debbie Harry and Mick Jones, the ex-guitarist from the Clash. According to the bandmembers, working with Jones was a dream come true.
