Fiction Like Candy
Her flair for the dramatic swirls through the music ambitiously, yet the drama now seems more honest, the sentiment sweeter and more vulnerable. The most recent incarnation of Fiction Like Candy is a little less fiction, a little more candy. And it will still leave you craving more…

“A glimpse into the future of San Francisco’s slightly psychedelic songwriting scene,” (SF GUARDIAN) Buxter Hoot’n is an experience not be missed. Their music is a gritty and eclectic form of rock ‘n’ roll that draws from a deep reverence for tradition and psychedelia. RELIX magazine calls them “one of the great American bands of today.”

Sprains are Dan, Dustin, and Jesse – three dudes who love to rock! We all have a special place in our hearts for 90’s pop punk, and when the stars aligned over San Francisco one summer night back in ‘08 we decided to make it official. Less than a year later, we’ve got over a dozen tunes that we’re itchin’ to play live.

Weapons of the Future
http://www.myspace.com/weaponsofthefuturemusic
Weapons of the Future are instruments of creation. An innovative and powerful indie rock band with a touch of sci-fi, psychedelic, and garage rock. Take Interpol, mix it with the Cramps, Sonic Youth, and Morphine and you might get an idea of the Weapons Of the Future sound. Nevertheless, playing live is where they shine the most. The moodiness of the keyboard sounds and the mysticism of the front man’s lyrics are complimented by the solid dance grooves created by the rhythm section. They go through the set captivating the audience through multiple mediums, both visual and sonic.

The American Professionals
http://www.myspace.com/theamericanprofessionals
San Francisco-based The American Professionals dole out comfortably familiar powerpop in this four-track EP. You know the deal – loud, crunchy guitars and catchy melodies. So if you’re a diehard powerpop fan, you do get the heavy guitarwork (classic 70s styled) and the Beatlesque tunes, which suggests that the likes of Cheap Trick and the Raspberries might be strong influences. It’s straightforward really. Personally, I like the subtle contrasts in the title track which does suggest that the band has more in its locker than loud and heavy. Always a good sign. That said, the adrenaline-pumping, bittersweet confections of Jump This Train, Down Low and Yet Another One More Time will keep the powerpop fans smiling. In addition, check out bonus track Love is Only Sleeping, which is a gorgeous evocation of mid-60s psychedelic-garage rock.

The Aimless Never Miss

http://www.theaimlessnevermiss.com
The Aimless began as a recording project for singer/songwriter Jon Latimer. The project attracted the interest of several close friends, and the band started gigging around Sonoma County in 2005. In 2006, the band relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area, and subsequently released two EPs on Tricycle Records in 2007 (”Oh, if they could fly”, “The Bright Side”). In 2008, they released their first full-length, self-titled album on Devil In The Woods Records. Rearranging themselves as a three piece in 2009, Latimer and bassist Andrew Macy tapped friend and veteran percussionist Eric Kuhn of Silian Rail to play on their latest ‘Tran EP’, now available on 500 Records.

The Friendly Skies
http://myspace.com/friendlyskiesmusic
This instrumental duo captures the brooding Portland raincloud sound that so many tragic youngsters have otherwise sold their soul to (re)locate near. The Friendly Skies aren’t trying to elevate their levels of Frippery, but guitar triumphs over keyboard and the energy of the room bleeds out with some several well articulated well played refrains.

FILTHY THIEVING BASTARDS (Headliner)
http://www.myspace.com/filtythievingbastards
In the last century or so, technology has greatly altered how history was passed along, through radio, television, the internet, and movies. There once was a time where storytelling came by word of mouth; from parents and grandparents, to bards that played through the villages and towns. In the era of electronic media and communication, it seems as if the art of storytelling has fallen by the wayside. Luckily, strewn through out this modern landscape are a few remaining bards who are still willing to share with us their superbly executed, original songs.
The Filthy Thieving Bastards’ songwriting duo of Johnny Bonnel and Darius Koski are two of these aforementioned bards…[myspace]

Heartache, intensity, longing, and unrequited love. These are the themes that dominate my music. I have always been a vocalist. I taught myself piano senior year in high school and the rest is history. All my songs are original lyrics and ideas. And while creating and writing songs are the most amazing things to do, I find performing live is the most incredible experience I have ever had.

The Yes-Go’s
http://www.myspace.com/theyesgos
The Yes Go’s were started by Sophie V writing music & playing songs on the guitar. In 2003, Lester Moore joined as drummer & back-up vox. With the addition of Mimi on lead vocals and Barbara on bass that summer, we became “Wednesday Night”. 5 days before our 1st gig, Mimi & Barbara (our Hungarian Hotties) were not allowed to stay in the U.S.A. (visa probs!) & we played our 1st show as a duo called Sik Suzan. In 2004, Blue Lew (Rotton Core), joined the band on bass & b.vox. We played shows off/on and had lots of fun, but we (BL. not inc.) drank too much, and we still didn’t really have an identity. Through Blue Lew’s departure in Summer 2006, it was back to a duo & the new name of The Yes Go’s fall ‘06 when the multi-facetd Djuna Gray became our bass player. It’s been balls to the walls ever since and The Yes Go’s love to play (alot) & can be found playing with many local & touring bands. We are continually amazed at the talent we see at all of S.F.’s venues. We are proud to share the bill with & be awed by such killer bands. Go out and see some shows cause we support local venues and killer music as well, cheers. [myspace]
