    Endoplasmic, Matthew Christian Frost

    Endoplasmic (performing 2 sets!) https://www.facebook.com/pages/Endoplasmic/108405102532675 Endoplasmic is a musical collective that takes pride in the freedom they get performing improvisational dance music! Formed out of the desire to keep a dance floor bouncing, Endoplasmic has been going strong since 2003, making improvisation the key element. Several players have jammed or been a part of endo over the years, and the music has covered a wide variety of sounds and transitions, but the Endo of today is a strong group (band) that has created a nonverbal musical language and has brought the groove to a fun dance party vibe that only Endo can do. Diving into Rock, jazz, funk, electronica, and many other genres of music, Endoplasmic show are always fresh, fun and always evolving..

    The Business, Bricktop, City of Thieves, The Venemous Pinks

    The Business UK is indisputably synonymous with anyone's recollection of the original surge of the British Oi! movement. Shrouded in a mess of urban folklore, bombarded with tons of irrelevant controversy, and full of more perseverance than most new bands have in their little finger, THE BUSINESS are still here after 30 years. Having been instrumental in forming a musical aesthetic often referred to as 'pub rock', 'street rock', and 'punk n roll', THE BUSINESS are indelibly marked by tales of European football games, motorbike excursions, working class triumphs, bar room theatrics, factory life blues, and of course, the unavoidable anthems of the ever-scrutinized drinking and driving.

    Truckstop Darlin', Brother Dege, Hunter Johnson Band

    Truckstop Darlin' www.facebook.com/truckstopdarlin www.truckstopdarlin.com Truckstop Darlin’ comes out of the amazing music scene of the Great Northwest, more specifically, Portland, Oregon. Despite being loud and thundering, Truckstop Darlin' wear their hearts on their sleeves; if Wilco grew up listening to Lucero's harder moments, it might sound something like this. Their live shows are a sweaty, fist-pumping riot soaked in cheap beer and whiskey and while most bands who fall under the alt-country umbrella focus more on the country part, Truckstop Darlin' keeps their amps turned up. These boys play honest, driving rock n’ roll. Brother Dege https://www.facebook.com/brotherdegelegg?group_id=0 Brother Dege (AKA Dege Legg) is one of the best kept secrets in the Deep South; a musician, writer, workingman and heir to a long line of unusual characters born and raised in the southern U.S. Like the mad lovechild of Son House and Faulkner, Legg has burned a crooked trail to the Promised Land. Avoiding traditional career paths, he has spent as much time exploring the backwoods weirdness of his home state as he has forging his own brand of incendiary, "psyouthern" roots music. The journeys are parallel. Since the late 90s, Dege has pushed slide, resonators, and the deep south, kicking and screaming into the 21st century, melding elements of folk, Delta blues, punk, rock, metal, hippie ragas, and outlaw county into one blasted, raw whole. Full of raging, dirt-earth pounding slabs of swamp heat, haunted redemption, and bell towers of experimentation, Brother Dege's album Folk Songs of the American Longhair is a tour de force artwork that rages from barn burners to ancient Delta meditations to whirlwind slide-loop hurricances. Like the Delta masters, it is emotion-packed, imperfect, flawed, desperate, yet insanely alive and vibrating with an X-variable hidden deep in our human core. Recorded in a shed behind his house in Louisiana, Legg composed the ten original tunes in the slide-Delta tradition, painstakingly paying tribute to the old masters while tossing faux-retro, hillbilly hokum into the trend hopping dust bin that it belongs. Much like the field recordings of Alan Lomax, the album tunnels into the ancient mysteries of pre-war blues and its devil-obsessed masters. In a return to the crude basics, almost all of the tracks feature only one vocal, one slide guitar and one foot stomping. Folk Songs of the American Longhair could possibly be the Delta-slide, millennial reboot for generations to come. Hunter Johnson Band https://www.facebook.com/iamhunterjohnson

    Audra, Cultures, Cherie Cherie

    Audra http://www.audramusic.com https://www.facebook.com/audramusic Audra is an Arizona-based band formed in 1991 in Mesa, Arizona by brothers Bret and Bart Helm. Audra broke out onto the national scene in 2000 when they signed with indie label, Projekt Records. After two well-received albums and well-over 300 live performances, the band decided to leave Projekt and go back to the ‘do-it-yourself’ approach that started their career in the 90s. The band gained the attention of Davey Havok, lead singer of AFI, who chose Audra’s 2002 album Going To The Theatre as one of his top 10 CDs of the year. The next year, AP Magazine selected Audra as one of the top ten bands on the scene. 11 songs from their first two albums were featured throughout three seasons of MTV’s The Real World and several independent films. On May 19, 2009, Audra released Everything Changes, their first album in 7 years. It was recorded in Tempe, AZ at Uranus Recording (owned by Robin Wilson, lead singer of Gin Blossoms, and produced by Grammy-nominee Robb Vallier (Dave Stewart, Paul McCartney, Wailing Souls, etc). Over the last couple of years, Audra has toured/performed with AFI, Peter Murphy, Nitzer Ebb and several other larger acts. The band is currently working on songs for their fourth album.

    The Oxford Coma, T.O.A.D., Horse Head

    advance tickets here: http://theoxfordcoma622.eventbrite.com/ The Oxford Coma http://theoxfordcoma.com/ https://www.facebook.com/theoxfordcoma The Oxford Coma formed in mid 2011 in Phoenix, AZ, out of the aftermath of several other deceased projects. Drummer Casey Dillon and guitarist Billy Tegethoff were the last members standing of Verico, as well as the remnants of several other projects dating back to when they were both in high school. Verico had been a four piece that included a stand-alone vocalist. When the band split there wasn't really a clear direction in which way the remaining pair wanted to go. Casey hopped on bass for a brief period of time. They contemplated a duo. Ultimately, James Williams was the one who unexpectedly gave the floundering project a new direction. He approached Billy at a show and gave a solid pitch on why he should be in the band. He said, "I hear you're looking for a bassist. I play bass, and I'm good." As luck would have it, he was right. They all met a week later to have a trial run jam. They didn't feel the need too try anyone else out after that. There was discussion of getting a singer and going four piece again. Billy never had much confidence in himself as a frontman, although he felt that having someone else sing his lyrics had always come across as insincere. They lingered on the question for a while, in the meantime writing their first songs. With James' encouragement they decided to make a go at it as a trio. According to the response they've gotten in the short time they've been together, it was a good call. Being a three piece provides a whole spectrum of challenges and advantages that no other lineup can bring to bare. "Being a trio forces me to have to completely reevaluate the way I play," says Billy, "All three of us have to wear multiple hats in order to sound full. It's a challenge in terms of singing and playing as well, because I'm not willing to compromise vocals or guitar parts for the sake of easy performance. Sometimes limitations seem to force creativity in a way that we could never do if we were better equipped. Some of our best jams have been after I've busted a string, or when I forgot half my pedals or something. I think as a band, we're kind of like that. We might have more options if there were more of us, but it wouldn't be as interesting." In September of 2011 they released a three song 'album preview/EP' called 'Infrastatic.' It received critical acclaim and radio play almost right away. They started playing live shortly thereafter. It has been rare that they've played for fewer than 100 people. Their shows generally include some combination of projection art, beach balls, nudity, and improvisation. They were invited to open for Fear Factory in August of 2012. Their debut album 'Adonis' is set for release on December 21, 2012. Watch for The Oxford Coma on tour in the spring of 2013. T.O.A.D. https://www.facebook.com/TakeOverAndDestroy Take Over And Destroy is a six-piece band from Phoenix, Arizona. Imagine an American rock & roll band from the 1970's trapped inside of a Scandinavian death/black metal band from the 1990's, playing along to the Creepshow soundtrack in an HP Lovecraft story. The band has completed their new record, entitled Endless Night. It will be released in early 2013. HorseHead https://www.facebook.com/horseheadphx Horse Head is an experimental doom/sludge metal band from Phoenix Arizona that formed in 2009. The band's influences range from underground to mainstream metal including Pantera, Weedeater, Altar of Plagues and many more. This eclectic synthesis of metal genres gives rise to a vicious mixture of heavy riffs at varying speeds with melodic interludes.

    Surrounded by Thieves, Guilty By Association, Skull Drug, The Venomous Pinks

    Surrounded by Thieves http://surroundedbythieves.com https://www.facebook.com/SurroundedByThieves When The Exploited sang those words in 1981, it was a declaration from the last group of punk rock survivors to make their presence known before it was too late. 30 years later, the battle cry for true punk rockers is not coming from the UK or New York City, but from Sin City itself, as Las Vegas’ Surrounded By Thieves (SBT) have arrived to deliver music that issues a hard-hitting, yet energetic and melodic statement that stays true to a form of music that today bears little resemblance to that which took over the world in the late 70’s. Formed in 2010, SBT, whose members include Brandon Buck on lead vocals and guitar, Andy Harrison on guitar and vocals, Cody Leavitt on bass and vocals, and Rich Castro on drums, unleash a politically driven and personally motivated punk rock that embraces the roughneck, punching and kicking style that has somehow been lost in today’s pop-dominated world, and music fans around Nevada have responded to high energy sets that have made the band a must see. Evoking the sound and feel of Pennywise, the style and energy of The Ramones, and the driving ballads of Social Distortion, SBT released their first CD, Prophecies of Greed, in November of 2011. Containing 13 blistering and eclectic tracks that feature topical lyrics and undeniable hooks, this debut effort has been a hit among reviewers. Said Jason Bracelin of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, “This is a backs-against-the-wall kind of record, something to be blasted to make the neighbors as pissed off as SBT often sounds… Prepare to break a sweat — or a few knuckles.” Guilty By Association https://www.facebook.com/GuiltySinCity http://www.guiltysincity.com/ Skull Drug https://www.facebook.com/skulldrug The Venomous Pinks http://thevenomouspinks.com/ https://www.facebook.com/venomouspinks
