Fri Oct 20 Tom Gun Live
Early Show
Tom Gun Live: Early Show! From the guys who brought you Point Break Live and Terminator Too: Judgement Play! It's Tom Cruise's birthday party, and to celebrate he has invited (you) his fans to come witness him, live on stage, reprising his iconic role as Maverick in the jet-piloting classic Top Gun. But, not to be biased, he also wants to give the attendees a taste of his other most remembered characters/scenes. It's his way of saying thanks for the years of support.

Sun Oct 22 Crooked Teeth
Crooked Teeth! Punk! Raised in a Christian household and getting into punk and pop-punk at an early age set the stage for young Tyson Evans to embark on his musical adventures. Learning to capture his feelings in quick song format and recording them led to his first band, Second To Last leading the way of the new wave of emo and pop-punk. Due to their youth and inexperience they ultimately broke up, but not before Tyson earned some very valeable lessons about the music industry which he has put into his new project, Crooked Teeth.

Thu Nov 2 Spite
Spite! Metal! I feel bad for whomever inspires Spite's music because when I listen to Spite, the prevailing thought is: "Who the hell pissed off this guy?"."This guy" is Spite lead vocalist Darius Tehrani, ringleader of the angriest band to come out of the Bay Area in a long time. In a genre often criticized for generic vocals and lack of emotion, Spite is an unholy, bone-chilling example of heavy music done right.

Tue Nov 7 Within The Ruins
Within The Ruins! Metal! Although not particularly valued for their innovation, but rather their ability to craft earworm hooks and catchy riffs within the system of a preexisting, shopworn template, Within the Ruins have long stood out from the usual slew of nondescript Deathcore bands primarily through guitarist Joe Cocchi's tasteful blend of bottom-heavy, groove-oriented riffs with fluid, melodic leads overladen.
