LISTEN Winners of the 2007 Cincinnati Entertainment Award for Best World Band, The Pinstripes don’t merely play Ska and Reggae — they inhabit the sound like it’s a ramshackle house that’s keeping them alive. Tight but never slick, fun but never goofy, intense but never serious, The Pinstripes combine Ska, Reggae, Dub and Soul to create something that’s genuinely lacking in a great deal of contemporary music: joy. LISTEN Hey Stranger is a ska/punk band from NYC. LISTEN Blue Light District is a politically minded ska punk band formed in 2005 by high school students. After years of refining and changing, they have taken an original standpoint in the genre of Ska Punk by taking the influence from jazz, reggae, and ska and mixing them with with early west coast hardcore punk forming songs that are a culmination of aggression, skill, and purpose searching to motivate our stagnant culture towards a better tomorrow.

Sidewalk Dave (CD Release) |
|
Doors open at 7 PM – $10 Aggressive Folk-Rock pours like sweat from the four members of Sidewalk Dave. Since 2007, they have conjured up a deep instinct for rebellious brotherhood together in the North East. Elise Granata of Fairfield County Weekly, Inkwell Press, and The Sound Magazine writes, "Over the past few years, approximately one zillion young musicians have put their own spin on a fusion of contemporary indie rock and American roots music. It's quite a trick to stand out from that pack. Sidewalk Dave does. The New Haven-area band's album Songs for Cowards was one of our favorite local releases of 2009 and holds its own amongst the work of their nationwide peers. Sidewalk Dave (a guy actually named Dave, plus his bandmates) plies raucous garage-country and folk rock with slow dynamic builds, genuinely thoughtful lyrics, and the spirit of someone young and eager who nonetheless has really lived"(Fairfield County Weekly). They have played with such similarly inspiring acts as Deer Tick, O’Death, Neva Dinova, Woods, De Nova Dahl, Danielson, Cotton Jones, Wye Oak, Mcarthy Trenching, and put out 2 full-length Albums.

The band’s predominately guitar-based music has gradually evolved in a relatively short space of time (arguably due to a combination of line-up changes and natural musical progression) from intense, heavy emo indebted to such acts as Mineral and Sunny Day Real Estate to a unique “post-rock” sound hinging on inventive, intricate drumming, subtle guitar arpeggios and impassioned vocals. For this special show they will be performing Low Level Owl I and II back-to-back, each in its entirety! LISTEN Dreamend is the main musical output of Ryan Graveface, Graveface Records’ owner/sole employee and guitarist/bassist for psychedelic oddballs Black Moth Super Rainbow. Since its inception in 2002, Graveface has released albums by Monster Movie (ex-Slowdive), The Loose Salute (Mojave 3 side project), Kid Dakota, Appleseed Cast, Art in Manila (ex-Azure Ray), Octopus Project, BMSR and many more.

The Thermals Past Lives The Coathangers
|
Doors open at 7 PM – $14 ($12 advance) – Buy Tickets Now The Thermals brand of simple, catchy, snotty punk-pop sounds all sweaty and covered in lint and crumbs and broken glass and whatever else was all over their practice space floor. And while the sound is still appropriately raw and in your face, there is definitely more of a pop to punk ratio. Although for every lilting melody and sugary sweet hook, the Thermals stomp it to bits within minutes. Lots of folks here think that this is what the Mountain Goats would sound like all drugged up and punk rock supercharged, with the vocalist's nerdy whine, sung/spoken delivery and oblique wordy lyrics. Imagine the simple jangle pop of the Strokes, the skewed take on classic Beatlesque songwriting of Guided By Voices, the three chord stomp of the Ramones and add lots of packed basement, broken down van, DIY and punk rock snarl and you've got The Thermals! LISTEN Past Lives - The band got their start in late 2007 after the breakup of The Blood Brothers. Vocalist Jordan Blilie, bassist Morgan Henderson, and drummer Mark Gajadhar joined with former Blood Brothers guitarist Devin Welch and started working on their debut EP almost immediately. Strange Symmetry was released on August 4, 2008 through Suicide Squeeze. It was initially a digital-only release with a limited run of physical CDs, but was later made more widely available on CD and vinyl. LISTEN
The Coathangers are newcomers to Atlanta's vibrant punk, pop and experimental music scene, but the group has risen quickly through the ranks to become one of the city s most talked about acts. Since July of 2006 Julia Kugel (guitar/vocals), Stephanie Luke (drums/vocals), Candice Jones (keyboard/vocals) and Meredith Franco (bass/vocals) have hammered out a bat cave crunk-punk dirge that explodes with energy and creativity. Don't be fooled by playful early song titles, like Nestle In My Boobies and Don't Touch My Shit. These women are real deal feminists, armed with a brash and irreverent sense of humor. They're more likely to be caught cracking jokes with Andrew W.K. than sharing tea and vegan cookies with Kathleen Hannah's crew. Simply put The Coathangers get the party started. They say what they want to say, do what they want to do, and they write songs because they want to have fun. Imagine if you will a marriage of the Beastie Boys circa Some Old Bullshit and the Slits when they were still a punk band and you're in the right ballpark. LISTEN |

Doors open at 7 PM – $10 ($8 advance) – Buy Tickets Now Gregory & The Hawk is a project led by the captivating vocal talents of native New Yorker Meredith Godreau, who has been performing under said moniker to massive DIY success for five years now. In what is a staggering accomplishment for an artist without a label, manager or booking agent, she’s sold in excess of 15,000 self-released singles, bringing about a groundswell of support on the internet that has resulted in over 17 pages of fans covering her songs on YouTube, also receiving around 60 fan letters a week – half of these from the UK. FatCat stumbled upon Godreau completely by chance at Brooklyn’s Southpaw one evening, and were held rapt (along with the rest of the audience).

Kafei grew from the connection between Alex, Doug, and Eric and not the other way around. Their first album, "Making Friends is Easy", drew on themes inseparable from their lives at the time. The music relies on heavily-melodic foundations, disbanding the idea of compartmentalizing instruments, and rather creating a wash of collective sound, humbling themselves to the sheer beauty of a simple melodic line. LISTEN October Rain is a pop-rock band from Madison, CT. LISTEN Koji is an indie singer/songwriter from Harrisburg, PA. LISTEN Forget About Thursday is a piano based indie rock band from Madison, CT.

The Status This Condition Rescue Aurora This Blue Heaven |
|
Doors open at 7 PM – $10 For most bands, releasing their first album comes with a lot of anxiety and uncertainty. For Atlanta's THE STATUS, there's a dose of that, but from the sound of their Doghouse Records debut SO THIS IS PROGRESS (release date: October 7, 2008), the unmistakable sound of confidence flows freely. While a tiny fraction of their strength may lie in who they know (Adam Lazzarra of Taking Back Sunday and Anthony Raneri of Bayside lend their backing vocals to two songs), 99% of their determination lies in their tightly-wound, hyper-melodic pop rock that has already spawned a radio hit in their single "Perfect Day" on Atlanta's influential station 99x. "That song set the tone for what we wanted to do as a band," says vocalist/guitarist Ben Grant. "It's about taking that chance on love, or just life in general because the risk is worth more than the not knowing." LISTEN This Condition is a five-piece Long Island, NY-based pop/punk band formed in 2006 when Nick, Anthony, and Steve from the band Fallendale joined Mike from the band Outcry and singer Nate to create the band.
