Reggie Watts
"It’s easier to describe Reggie Watts’ appearance (imagine if Lisa Bonet and Zach Galifianakis had a child) than his broad range of talent. Here’s a shot: He can do a lot with his mouth and a loop pedal. Here’s another: He can conjure any of the sounds coming out of the noise machine next to your bed or corporate bathroom. Birds, winds, the crashing of waves: done. He can also be a drum set and any number of electro-music knobs. This may all be notable, but much more thrilling is witnessing these skills woven into Watts’ stream-of-consciousness presentation, a playful externalized inner symphony of sound and word drawing on a vast range of musical styles and conceptual influences — it’s completely absorbing, hilarious, and surprising." - Tara Jepsen, SF Weekly

Rory Scovel
Whether discussing drugs, politics, or life in general his infectious stage presence and engaging charisma will quickly shift the vibe of any room and place the audience in the scene of every punchline. He's opened theater shows for such comics as Louis C.K., Daniel Tosh and Nick Swardson.

“You’re not just hearing his jokes, he’ll actually show them to you.” –Rory Scovel

“Every night he stepped onstage his set was remarkably different, thanks to Scovel's near-genius improvisational skill.” – The Stranger (Seattle)

Telegraph Canyon
"Dallas' Telegraph Canyon expertly blends the rustic, organic tones of harmonica, viola, organ and acoustic guitar with the technological muscle and intricately processed electronics."
- West Coast Performer

Manzanita

Bare Wires
Three hooligans revisiting pre-punk sounds from the vantage point of a post-post-post-punk world. Bare Wires forge ahead with basic rock that simply trades off any wandering bullshit for sharper punk angles. (bio)

"Referencing late-Sixties/early-Seventies rock without pulling out the weird-psych acid shit or proto-punk heaviness, it's more of a mellow jean vest, joint-and-a-beer barrelling down the interstate in a Dodge Charger straight rock'n'roll thing." - Terminal Boredom

Blood Drained Cows
One dude useta be in the Angry Samoans (co-founding member and was in band for thirteen years) and their electric autoharp player Billy used to back Roky ERickson in the ALiens. The genre they dial is 60's garage rock in the vein of the early Kinks but with a generous sprinkling of ROky ERickson etc. (bio)

Vows

Glitter Wizard
"The wonderfully retrograde five piece's musical education seemingly begins and ends with the more eccentric strands of '60s and '70s rock — raucous power chord fuzz, loopy psychedelia, and the early rudiments of heavy metal." - SF Bay Guardian

The Groggs

Dirty Cupcakes

Master/Volume

Unit Breed
Portland's Unit Breed "have a strong DIY ethic, producing a prolific amount of homemade visuals, music videos, paintings, and 6 full length home recorded albums. Taking influence from the taste of trees, unyielding light, tigers bellies, desert mountains, upside down submarines, and the ghosts of martyrs." (bio)

Street Eaters
"Priding themselves on the fact that they tour in a 1990 Toyota Corolla and refuse to write love songs despite their inter-band couple status, The East Bay's Street Eaters are a relatively new and unknown duo featuring Megan March and Johnny Geek, both of whom have longstanding and notable rap sheets (The Fleshies, Master Volume, Triclops, Harbinger, and Neverending Party). While their music bares subtle traces of similarity to their other workings, the two collaborators manage to cultivate a revitalizing and definitively unique sound. Founded in fuzz-laden, treble-cranked bass parts, dual vocal hooks, relentless rhythmical clamor, and classic East Bay punk undertones pressed through a garage n' noise filter, it's simultaneously infectious and abrasive. It's not overly loose, but far from precise, which works to their favor creating a fun and raucous tonic that's sure to jolt some life into even the most downtrodden set of bones." - SF Weekly

Punk Rock Sideshow w/DJ Tragic & the Duchess of Hazard, every Monday

No Babies

2Up (Japan)
This Japanese duo juxtapose stripped down instrumentation (guitar and drums), with vigorous song structure, polyrhythmic splatter, and artful overload, roaring through sixteen jagged, misshapen pieces of punk rock in less then 30 minutes. (bio)

Afternoon Brother

Oh My God
"Oh my god crafts music that employs the unlikely juxtaposition of Krautrock/prog architecture and Midwestern pop sensibilities....This hard-touring band has always been so good live that we've counted them as favorites....Onstage the trio sells it to the crowd with such energy, joy and power that we've often confused it for an actual noise or punk or hard-rock band." - Chicago Reader
