Whore for Satan
presents KYLESA |
Performing live: | Kylesa formed in Savannah, GA in 2001, taking their unusual name from "kilesa mara," what Buddhist teachings term demons of defilement and delusion. Kylesa is, fundamentally, a metal group, but is otherwise difficult to categorize: elements of hardcore punk, psychedelic stoner rock, technical speed metal, and good old-fashioned Black Sabbath sludge appear in their music. Also, with a front line consisting of three very different singers instead of a single focal point, and two drummers, Kylesa has a musical variety lacking from many of their more monochromatic peers. | ||||||

DNA Lounge &
Death Guild
present NEW MODEL ARMY |
Performing live: New Model Army |
"It's all a very long way from the 1980s rash of post-punk, proto syndicalist agit-pop, but New Model Army have prevailed. As dedicated as ever to their craft of melodic rock with something to say, front man Justin Sullivan has wrapped his vocal chords around a dystopian wealth of words that invoke the twisted souls of Nick Cave and Henry Rollins at their best. The addition of blues guitar master Marshall Gill has given the band greater musical scope." --Nick Churchill | ||||||

THE PHENOMENAUTS |
Performing Live: |
Imagine if the Kinks, the Ventures, Stray Cats and Devo were
galactic pioneers, and joined forces to defend earth's right
to 'rocket roll'. Combine that with a fast driving blend of
punk, pop, psychobilly, solid songwriting and a witty Sci-Fi
theme, and you've got one of the east bay's most celebrated
bands, The Phenomenauts. A critical part of the Phenomenaut experience has always been their live show, during which the band proudly displays its evolving arsenal of homemade 'Phenoma-gadgets.' The Theramatic Helmerator, or 'top of JoeBot's head,' contains a wireless theramin that creates Sci-Fi sounds reminiscent of old Star Trek episodes; the Streamerator 2000, manned by Professor Greg Arius, blasts rolls of toilet paper out into the crowd, bringing them in as part of the show; clouds of CO2 envelop the crowd while rockets launch from the Rocketerator. These cleverly crafted devices immensely add to the mystique and cult appeal of the band and are just some of the gems one can expect in the live spectacle. |

Death Guild
presents COVENANT |
Performing live: With DJ: Followed by a Death Guild dance night, with DJs: |
"Covenant is one of the top names in the electro underground. There are very few electro clubs in the United States that do not feature tracks from Covenant in their weekly rotation. Covenant is one of the most addictive dance acts today, but what makes them special is the undefinable charisma and presence that the band brings to their discs and stage show, much like Bauhaus brought to the gothic scene in the 80s. Covenant have, in a surprisingly short period of time, launched themselves into the stratosphere of electro music, having risen high above the heads of other bands with similar interests and musical bents. They have done this through consistently high quality compositions, excellent musicianship, and by continually taking their music on the road and letting all of North America hear and see what they are about." | ||||||

Death Guild
presents COMBICHRIST |
Performing live: Combichrist With DJs: |
"Combichrist have established themselves as one of the biggest names in the aggrotech/dark electro music scene and all of their albums have reached a cult status among fans. It is no wonder Andy LaPlegua has been named one of the alternative electro geniuses of the decade as he has three quite very successful projects, managing to keep them stylistically separate without conflict of ideas. To this end, Andy set out to take all the core elements of their sound - which he describes as "a journey through hell and high water, through the eyes of a serial killer, sex, violence and plenty of Jack Daniels on ice" - and crank them up to 11. In more straightforward terms, it meant ramping up distortion into the stratosphere, deepening the already gut-busting sub-bass, and expanding their once tightly-compressed synth environments to create a broader, more epic sound." | ||||||
