about the artists
DAN LEE's musical group SCRABBEL was formed in 1999 with old high
school friends, Becky Barron and Dan Lee. They made their live debut
at the 2000 San Francisco Asian American Film Festival "Directions In
Sound" music night with the Aislers Set and Sweet Trip, and released
their first record in 2001 on Kittridge Records. The kazoos and speak
n spells from the 1st record were traded in for cellos and violins on
the 2nd record, "1909". Some guest performers include Alicia Vanden
Heuval (Aislers Set), Gary Olson (Ladybug Transistor), and Pete
Nguyen (Total Shutdown and Ee). On "1909", mastermind Dan Lee (who
plays everything from keyboards to guitar to clarinet to speak &
spell) has jumbled string sections with whimsical pop, early British
invasion melodies and electro blip beats. He even incorporates the
ambient sounds of a BART subway station to create something simply
original. The live band has grown from a 2 piece to a larger ensemble
of friends, including Hellen Jo, Aya Nakamura, Stanley Lam, and
Atsushi Murase, featuring everything from drums, guitars, cello,
violin, organ, and xylophone. Visit Scrabbel at www.scrabbel.org.

Thien Pham (or thien!, as you might know him) is from Saratoga, CA,
and currently resides in Oakland, CA. Thien attended Academy of Art
College in San Francisco.He is currently employed by Bishop O'Dowd
High School in Oakland, where he teaches computer art, computer aided
drafting, and yearbook. Thien enjoys going bowling, eating noodles,
listening to his iPod, and various little projects such as
redesigning his classroom to be "all wood" or drawing ninjas all over
his chalkboard. One of the most reputable members of his community,
Thien Pham is admired by many individuals. For more info, please
