Seattle's Assemblage 23 built a cult following on a series of classic compilation releases before exploding in to the industrial dance world with their 1999 debut album, "Contempt". Since then, frontman Tom Shear's haunting baritone has captivated the club scene with emotionally wrenching and powerful hit after hit.

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.

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.

Amidst a diverse musical background ranging from dark alternative rock and electronica to world music and neo-classical, to jazz, avant garde and folk, Faith and the Muse provide one of the rarest experiences in art, theater and music. As artists and songwriters, they have created their own unique universe by allowing no boundaries to the music they write, reaching across historical genre and cultural style.

Fans never know what to expect from Faith and the Muse live; their performances change from tour to tour, featuring at times theatrical and orchestral instrumentation, or quiet intimate acoustic events, and other times, straight-up hard rocking shows.

As the musical genius behind the annual "United State of Pop" mashup -- which seamless blends each year's Top 25 pop songs and into a singular track -- DJ Earworm has seen his star rise these past few months, as his "United State of Pop 2009" went viral (with over 16 million views on YouTube) and then exploded into a bona fide sensation, garnering attention from CNN, MTV, Entertainment Weekly, and a slew of other media outlets, as well as charting on radio stations across the world. Needless to say, Bootie is pleased to have Earworm back for a showcase set!

Joining him in the main room will be special guest DJ Tripp, holding it down while residents A+D are on tour in Europe. Live mashup rock band Smash-Up Derby will feature new singer Mimi Lee Ferrari fronting the band solo for the first time, and for the Midnight Mashup Show, burlesque star Sparkly Devil returns to the Bootie stage. In the upstairs room, it's Electro-Bootie, with DJs Matt Hite and Mykill spinning electro mashups, remixes, and bootlegs all night.

Launched in 2003 in San Francisco by DJs Adrian & Mysterious D, Bootie was the first club night in the United States dedicated solely to the burgeoning artform of the bootleg mashup -- and is now the biggest mashup event in the world, with regular parties in several cities on four continents. Mixing and matching every conceivable musical genre, era, and style into one big dance party where everyone feels welcome, Bootie provides the soundtrack for the A.D.D. generation -- with free mashup CDs given away like candy!
