Kid Beyond loops and multitracks his voice onstage to create his own live backing tracks -- layering impassioned lyrics over beatboxing and vocal instrumentation. It's a riveting, soulful brew of pop electronica. A "fiercely charismatic... truly mesmerizing" performer, a powerful rock-soul singing voice, and jaw-dropping skills that earned him the title "San Francisco's Best Beatboxer," Kid Beyond has rocked sprawling festivals, huge warehouse parties, and packed venues from the Fillmore to Carnegie Hall.

Smash-Up Derby, the Bootie house band! Imagine a band that mixes [insert well-known indie band here] with [insert famous pop artist here] sprinkled with a dash of [for intrigue, insert descriptive noun here].

Gooferman, the Bohemian Carnival house band! Hybridized, breakbeat-infected, hippity-hopped, groove-embossed, rockin' funkstuff, delivered via superstyled klowns. Think Oingo Boingo, Janes Addiction, Mr. Bungle, Bassment Jaxx, Soul Coughing, Prince, and Looney Tunes happily stuffed into a mini Big Top.

Abney Park comes from an era that never was, but one that we wish had been. An era where airships waged war in the skies, and corsets and cummerbunds were proper adventuring attire. They've picked up their bad musical habits, scoundrelous musicians, and anachronistically hybridized instruments from dozens of locations and eras that they have visited in their travels and thrown them into one riotous dervish of a performance. Expect clockwork guitars, belly dancers, flintlock bassists, middleastern percussion, violent violin, and Tesla powered keyboards blazing in a post-apocalyptic, swashbuckling, Steampunk musical mayhem.

Swing Goth is what happens when rock-a-billy meets goth, and is peppered with a little blues, waltzing and a healthy portion of dirty dancing... all to modern music.

Ben Holder and Ricky Terry, known together as Ejector, have been electrifying audiences with their throbbing synths, soaring vocals, and edgy latex, leather, and glitter garb, for the last two years. Now they release their debut album, On the Pages, along with two new music videos that show the pair performing in all of their theatrical and sometimes controversial glory.

On The Pages features 10 tracks of sonic stimulation that Ejector promises will push buttons and boundaries of electro-pop limits. According to Holder, "Each song tells its own story with influences coming from film, television, and theater and musical genres ranging from 70's disco, to 80's dance to experimental nu-rock."

Step right up, girls and boys,
Shall we go for a romp?
Why tread on we lightly
When instead you can stomp...

Through the puddles of yum
Thick with pretties and klowns
Dripping from the rafters
Wiggling with the sounds

So come all ye faithful
And ye who are not
There's nothing like a circus
For the getting of hot

Just remember to remember to
Remember just one thing:
The naughtier the paddle
The sweeter the sting.

"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
