- Join El Rio in welcoming back ORQUESTA GITANO!!!
Northern California is blessed with many Latin-influenced musical ensembles. Too many of the bands play it safe, however, revising old standards. Orquesta Gitano bucks that trend. Formed 17 years ago in Santa Cruz by bandleader and percussionist Bosco "El Gitano," the group plays salsa and much more. "We combine Puerto Rican and Cuban salsa," Gitano says. "There's a difference between the two. Cuban salsa is roots; Puerto Rican is more straight-ahead." Gitano calls it "salsa fusion,"... an amalgam of Afro-Latin forms.
Doors open 3pm - Showtime 4:15pm

The Boiling Suns [Playing Last]
www.myspace.com/theboilingsuns
The Boiling Suns are a trio of east coast transplants working on bringing some chainsaw rock 'n' roll to the Bay Area. The band was formed as a stripped down power duo, dedicated to playing heavy, blues-based rock hard and loud, with the drums pounding in your ear and the guitar snarling and roaring like an animal. With the recent addition of a bassist, the band rounded out the sound with booming low end. The Smokestacks, our previous incarnation, started in the summer of 2007. After a few lineup changes and some new songs we have become The Boiling Suns.

Dolorata
77 El Deorra
Four Year Bender
Read Meat
Dolorata is a modern day/old school band. This all-female quintet rocks with the sensibility of the 70's, while fully existing in the present tense. They play their original music with passion and raw power, combining unique past influences and experiences to create a new sound described most simply as "rock and roll". You feel the blues and soul that guided so many pioneering bands during rock's heyday, but you also hear the influence of today. This musical mix defines Dolorata.

- Noh [Playing Second]
www.myspace.com/nohsmusic
The musician/composer Noh has been compared to Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, David Bowie, and JJ Cale - with echoes of Nirvana in some places - although others find him difficult to categorize. The most striking aspects of his sound are his low brassy vocal style, which lends an edgy "loud whisper" quality that speaks to the plaintive messages of his lyrics, and his energetic right (strumming) hand, which injects his guitar playing with an amalgam of jazzy-rock and latin-tinged swagger and movement.
Hank Bobbit [Playing 1st]
http://www.myspace.com/hankbobbit88
Hank Bobbit, Butch singer of Berlin Rockabilly Band "Lorena & The Bobbits" with her solo program "Acoustic Love & Hate Songs" -- ONE NIGHT ONLY !!!
The accustic guitar is being maltreated as if it was electric and hooked up to a giant amp...but since it is not, here at last the singers colourful voice can be heard. A treat usually subdued in the multiple feedback of a band, that only knows one level of volume: FULL VOLUME!!! The mostly original songs are presented by a character, that knows how to protect herself from many distractions in this world, but stands helpless in front of one: The charms of Women. With force and passion, a sense of self-irony and a knee-deep knowledge of the ever so twisted ways of love, 2 million heartbreaks are dealt with - in only 30 minutes!

The festival showcases the BEST of harmonies from super awesome groups of the bay area and this one is all female fronted. Trixie Delicious and Kitty Largewood of SASSY!!! wanted to organize a show yearly so that they could play with groups they love and admire. There's not a festival quite like it and we all know that harmony makes the world go around - Check it out! www.myspace.com/harmonyinmyheadfestival
Sassy: www.myspace.com/sassytheband:
Lynda Mandolyn aka Trixie Delicious (Fabulous Disaster/Inside Out) and Christa DiBiase aka Kitty Largewood (Girlband / Browntown West) decided to team up and create a harmonic / garage extravaganza! Sick of the "pop punk" scene, Lynda
was looking for a drummer who could harmonize with her, enjoyed long walks on the beach and cranked Andrew Sisters / Laura Lee tunes instead of The Sex Pistols. And she found Christa! They both enjoy binge drinking, fake eyelashes and shopping at Wet Seal. In the short time they have been together, they have shared the stage with The Donnas, The Dickies, Von Iva, Donita Sparks, The Dolly Rots and The White Barons to name a few. They will be releasing a full length cd in June.
Karina Denike and The Flirts: www.myspace.com/katrinadenike: Karina is a singer, songwriter, performer from San Francisco. She has been in Stara Nova, Dance Hall Crashers, Jezebelle, Mr Lonesome and the Bluebelles as well as recorded with NOFX, Hepcat, No Use For A Name, Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies, The Effection, Limp and many more. Her solo project, Karina Denike and The Flirts is a must see!!
Blue Rabbit: www.myspace.com/bluerabbitmusic:
Lyric-driven art rock!! Blue Rabbit is an experimental, indie rock band in the same vein as Tilly and the Wall, but darker, with a penchant for the melancholic keys of the scale. You will find yourself thinking you've never heard anything quite like it, and that you'd like to hear it again.
