Free Blood: "A Brooklyn band that has positioned itself as the soundtrack for parties gone awry. Ex lead singer of !!! (Chk Chk Chk) John Pugh and Madeline Davy have a remarkably unique and cohesive sound."

Landshark: "With their unique juxtaposition of electronic and live sounds, Landshark have been extremely well received in both dance and rock venues. Equal parts dirt, darkness and dancing, there's a little something for everyone."

"Best Body Slams: The folks at Fog City Wrestling want you to watch a luchador slam a Tom Cruise impersonator into the floor. They want you to see a Samoan take-down team (combined weight: 1,100 pounds) take on the "Reno Punks" in a swirling, convoluted drama of independent pro-wrasslin'. Sweaty, in-your-face, "maybe knock you over if you're in the front row" wrestling has come back to San Francisco after what promoters Caesar Black and Steve Armani claim has been a 30-year absence. Fog City's shows are packed with so many acts, highlights, and subplots that things get raucously confusing. With a full-size ring and professional sound and lights, it brings a high level of showmanship with a big ol' plate of athleticism on the side. Wrestlers like Rikishi, the Mexican Werewolf, and Mister Primetime pull big-show moves -- flying back flips, body slams, and pile drivers -- just like them whut you see on the tee-vee." -- SF Bay Guardian

From Chicago, indie mashup duo ABX and STV SLV - better known as The Hood Internet - will play special showcase set. This infamous pair have quickly made a name for themselves in the music blogosphere as the go-to indie-hop mashup guys. Marauding the pop, rap and R&B landscapes to mash up Dirty South rap to Canadian indie rock to "French Touch" electro, these Pitchfork-approved mashup boys have played CMJ showcases to South by Southwest, and have enjoyed sets alongside Diplo, The Cool Kids, Z-Trip and The Go! Team. In the upstairs room, DJ Boyshapedbox brings Bearracuda -- a fun, friendly party for bears, cubs and other wildlife -- to Bootie. Along with that will be Bearracuda's host, Renttecca, performing the midnight mashup show!

"On Seabound's Double-Crosser, you'll find catchy club tracks as well as melancholic ballads and soundtrack-like instrumentals. Common for all tracks is the brilliantly and complex elaborated electronic compositions. The songs are never one-dimensional - Seabound loses the sterility, from which a lot of other bands in this genre suffer, due to the sometimes harmonic-melancholic and sometimes very dark but always dynamic chant of Frank. With this album [...] the band found their own niche between Electropop and EBM." --Reflections of Darkness

One of the world's favorite DJs, Doc Martin hardly needs an introduction. Beginning his mission on the decks back in the summer of 1986, his focus on house music from the land of funk and disco was triggered while playing the club and warehouse scene in San Francisco during the late 80s and 90s.

"Pummeling dancefloor grooves and distorted beats combined with scathing vocals and electro arrangements produce a full-tilt dancefloor onslaught. The new Combichrist album is a must for all lovers of the harsher, more noisy and danceable stuff. Expect world domination with their upcoming album, What The F*&$ Is Wrong With You People?"

"Black Light Burns is former Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland's new project that also features former members of A Perfect Circle, Nine Inch Nails, and Methods of Mayhem. Black Light Burns' overall sound is closer to that of Nine Inch Nails than anything ever put out by Limp Bizkit. The computerized notes on many songs on the album are at times reminiscent of Stabbing Westward or even She Wants Revenge." --Tunelab

"Ceremony is hateful and unrelenting hardcore/punk from California. Ceremony formed from several mid-level (in notoriety) hardcore bands in the Bay Area a couple years back, and have since transformed themselves into one of the most promising hardcore bands in years.

"If you're still out of the loop, Ceremony plays hardcore stylistically similar to early acts like Negative Approach and Black Flag, or more recently, Unbroken. What the songs lack in length they make up for in intensity. And even though the songs aren't written in style of much of today's hardcore, there are plenty of opportunities to sing-along. In fact, "You're all the Same" and "Throwing Bricks" are just that, entire songs as sing-alongs." -- Scene Point Blank

The Dose Lounge brings in several DJs from Opulent Temple spinning breaks. Regardless of who prevails in the battle, the dancefloor always wins!
