New Cadence is: Shane Bierwith: Vocals, guitars, other Mike Rawlinson: Vocals, guitars, brass, strings, other Hilary Hanselman: Vocals, keys, other Greg Finley: Vocals, bass, other Tim Brummett: Drums, percussion, other  
This five-­‐piece indie-­‐folk band from the San Francisco Bay Area beckons a musical solidarity that's primed for the new roots revival. New Cadence initially formed as a side project in 2009, but the songwriting came so naturally that they managed to track their first EP, Baraboo just months after they formed. Then, in December 2010, the track “Square Foot Dimensions” was chosen by LIVE 105 radio station listeners as a top three finalist in the Not So Silent Night competition. Soon after, the band members dropped their other projects and made New Cadence their sole focus. In 2011, New Cadence solidified their lineup, wrote new material, and headed back into the studio. In an effort to outdo their first EP, they brought onboard engineer, Gabriel Shepard (Cake, Dredge, Chris Isaak, Frank Black of the Pixies), and laid down tracks in San Francisco’s historic Hyde Street Studios. The outcome was The Yesteryear EP–an ambitious sophomore undertaking released on July 6, 2013.

Horseless Carriage 2.0, created by E. Michael Saleski [www.saleski.com]

Mr. Saleski writes: "The Horseless Carriage 2.0 is my second large human-powered vehicle with the intention of ACEing the Eureka Kinetic Grand Championship. My first vehicle (All-Terrain Tiki Bar, then Cruizin' for a Snoozin') did ACE and finish 3rd one year, but those six ATV tires were brutal over the long distance. Knowing that larger diameter wheels reduce your rolling resistance, and leveraging my previous extensive woodworking experience, I imagined the Horseless Carriage 2.0.
As part of our performance, we would say we wanted to achieve 88mph (as in back to the future) and go back in time just prior to the invention of the Horseless Carriage, I.e. The Automobile, and reveal our human-powered contraption, thus leading mankind down the path of human-powered conveyance instead of greenhouse-gas eating conveyances.
Well, the skinny wheels on the HC2 destroyed 3 different 'sand tread' designs due to the incredible weight density of the heavy vehicle on the narrow tires. It's never been able to complete the sand challenge in Eureka, although we did struggle through the short Ventura race once for an ACE. It is presently on display at the Murphy Auto Museum in Oxnard, promoting the Ventura Kinetic Race. 
Next vehicle? Not sure exactly, other than it will have 3 large wheels, made from 42" diameter drain pipe. These wheels will be 8 or 10 inches in diameter and should have no problem navigating sand."

This contraption is called the Didelphimorphia


Everyone is ready to GO!


SN Jacobson, professional photographer, trails behind as a member of the press with his very own Photo-Contraptor, created just for him at the Obtanium Works!

Hazards included the Flying Monkey Guns, manned by crazies with no intention but to hurl monkeys, and other animals, at the Contraptors along the way!

Along the way, the Contraptors faced the Zombie Czar and his Zombie Minions!



Luckily, there were watchers, keeping an eye out for hazards (including wayward vehicles), and guiding the Contraptors back on the path!


Of course, the greatest hazard facing the Contraptors was simple mechanical problems!



And the race goes on...

and on...

and onwards ever on!


But, finally, at last, the end is near!

The Flag is cast as the people await their winners!
 

Did we make it in time?

Of course, winning in life means surviving an adventure! Here's Mr.Kit, the Dragonslayer!


Time to be judged! Judges included local muralist Harold Beaulieu, and Vallejo City Council member Bob Sampayan!


Time for the Mad Hatter's Tea Party!

The Tea Party!


Scary as the Zombies are, the Gathering of the Tribes can get down and party like the best of them, with Serial Mom and MisDemeanor (on the right)!


Congratulations to Jake Carroll, the 2nd Place winner!

SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!!!

 Debut of "Changing Tide"
the 1st single from New Cadence
[reverbnation.com/newcadence]

Equally indebted to indie-­‐favorites, Fleet Foxes and Arcade Fire, as they are to classics like Brian Wilson and Greg Allman, New Cadence mixes new-­‐school songwriting with a vintage sound from the past. With four-­‐part harmonies and a stage full of instruments, this five-­‐piece indie-­‐folk band from the San Francisco Bay Area beckons a musical solidarity that's primed for the new roots revival.
New Cadence initially formed as a side project in 2009, but the songwriting came so naturally that they managed to track their first EP, Baraboo just months after they formed. Then, in December 2010, the track “Square Foot Dimensions” was chosen by LIVE 105 radio station listeners as a top three finalist in the Not So Silent Night competition.
