Wovenhand @ Divadlo Archa 
“2 years after the release of their monumental album Mosaic, we were wondering how Woven Hand would manage to outshine this amazing album which made such an impression. But in a nutshell: Ten Stones is without a doubt Woven Hand's best album to date, the richest, deepest, heaviest, and a genuine masterpiece. 4 of those songs are among the best the band has ever written, but on top of that, DEE has stepped out of his comfort zone and taken risks, exploring musical areas that were completely new to him -both to his great credit and much to the fans' delight”.
Extract of “X-Roads” magazine, September 2008

Texas Terri Bomb! @ Klub 007 
Texas Terri's street credibility puts her miles above others. She has earned her title as "underground legend" in the punk rock & roll world and it shows in her songs and her stage presence. Her voice and persona has a tough girl attitude and sex kitten charisma (and evey emotion in between) she will steal your heart away and you will not want her to give it back!
"L.A.’s female Iggy Pop, Terri is hard-core, leaving nothing to the imagination but a cigarette burn right through you heart."
-- Heidi Sigmund-Cuda, Pulse! Magazine (Tower Records)
