Performers at this Event
Moby
Moby Remove performer from this event
Moby was one of the most controversial figures in techno music, alternately praised for bringing a face to the notoriously anonymous electronic genre, as well as being scorned by hordes of techno artists and fans for diluting and trivializing the form.
Pennywise
Pennywise Remove performer from this event
Pennywise was one of the key bands of the punk-revival of the '90s. Using Californian hardcore as a foundation, the group incorporated funk-metal and skate-punk into their sound, developing a sound that functioned as edgy, post-punk frat rock -- it was speedy and occasionally stupidly...
Everlast
Everlast Remove performer from this event
Once best known for his tenure in the rap unit House of Pain, Everlast successfully reinvented himself in 1998 with the best-selling Whitey Ford Sings the Blues, a largely acoustic, hip-hop-flavored effort in the genre-crossing mold of Beck.
Anti-Flag
Anti-Flag Remove performer from this event
Making their debut at a local Pittsburgh radio station in 1993, Anti-Flag got together for the sake of responding to their disgust at religion, nationalism, and fascism. Justin Sane (vocals/guitar), Andy Flag (bass/vocals), and Pat Thetic (drums) bopped around their hometown much...
Lyrics Born
Lyrics Born Remove performer from this event
The first artist to release an EP on San Francisco's Soleside Records, Lyrics Born went under the original moniker Asia Born on 1993's Send Them before changing it three years later on his collaborations with labelmate Lateef.
Alkaline Trio
Alkaline Trio Remove performer from this event
Formed by ex-Jerkwater and Traitors drummer Matt Skiba (vocals/guitar), Glenn Porter (drums/vocals) -- formerly of 88 Fingers Louie -- and Rob Doran (bass/vocals), Alkaline Trio was brought together in 1997 by heartbreak, angst, and the companionship of drinking.
Flogging Molly
Flogging Molly Remove performer from this event
The Los Angeles-based post-grunge seven-piece Flogging Molly are an interesting mix of traditional Irish music and spunky punk rock. Former Fastway acoustic guitarist/frontman and Dublin native Dave King formed the band with fiddle player Bridget Regan, guitarist Dennis Casey, accordion...
Atreyu
Atreyu Remove performer from this event
Coming out of Southern California during the rap-metal explosion around the turn of the century, Atreyu crafted a sound much closer to Agnostic Front or Hatebreed. The metalcore quintet was formed by Brandon Saller (drums/vocals), Dan Jacobs (guitar), Chris Thomson (bass), Travis...
The Phenomenauts
The Phenomenauts Remove performer from this event
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...
Steve Aoki
Steve Aoki Remove performer from this event
Steve Aoki, aka Kid Millionaire, is a celebrity DJ and also the founder of Dim Mak Records, which counts leading indie rock bands such as Gossip, Bloc Party, and Battles among its stable of signees.

MSTRKRFT Remove performer from this event
MSTRKRFT (pronounced "master kraft") are the Daft Punk-loving alter ego of Death from Above 1979's Jesse F. Keeler along with producer Al-P. Hailing from Toronto, the duo makes a move from DFA 1979's abrasive rock to robotic electronic complete with vocoders and handclaps.
The Kooks
The Kooks Remove performer from this event
Luke Pritchard (vocals/guitar), Hugh Harris (guitar), Max Rafferty (bass), and Paul Garred (drums) generate the rubbishy garage rock sounds of the Kooks. Named after the song on David Bowie's Hunky Dory, the Kooks met while attending Brighton Music College in the mid-2000s.
The Whigs
The Whigs Remove performer from this event
Parker Gispert (vocals/guitar), Julian Dorio (drums), and Hank Sullivant (bass) create the rollicking indie rock sounds of the Whigs. With a jaunty mix of Westerberg-like style and a heartfelt country disposition, the Whigs played their first shows while attending the University of Georgia.
Love Like Fire
Love Like Fire Remove performer from this event
Vocalist/guitarist Ann Yu -- who had spent some time living with Ronnie Vannucci of the Killers -- and drummer/keyboardist David Farrell were about to leave San Francisco for Los Angeles when they discovered an attractive band-wanted ad from guitarist/keyboardist Ted Parker.
Mike Relm
Mike Relm Remove performer from this event
One of the DJ/turntablist scene's major attractions, Mike Relm (born Michael Wong) became known for his amazing beat-juggling performances that cunningly incorporate visuals as well as genre mash-ups.
Magic Bullets
Magic Bullets Remove performer from this event
Formed in 2004, six-piece San Francisco band Magic Bullets draw from a shared love of post-punk/1980s alt-rock bands such as Orange Juice, the Sound, the Feelies, and Talking Heads. Prior to joining Magic Bullets, the bandmembers had spent most of their previous time playing in various punk bands.
PlayRadioPlay!
PlayRadioPlay! Remove performer from this event

Flobots
Flobots Remove performer from this event
When a pair of intelligent, visionary emcees joins forces with a battle-hardened, groove-fusing rhythm section, a classically trained violist, and a jazz trumpet player, the result is a sound that explores and expands the frontiers of live hip-hop.
DJ Mike Relm
DJ Mike Relm Remove performer from this event
In a time when the skratch musician is once again shoved to the background behind drummers, guitar players, singers, and rappers, one lone skratch artist continues on the road much less traveled.
Ludo
Ludo Remove performer from this event
Indie rock band Ludo was formed in Tulsa, OK, in 2003 by Andrew Volpe, Tim Ferrell, Tim Convy, Marshall Fanciullo, and Matt Palermo; the group subsequently based itself in St. Louis, MO.
MGMT
MGMT Remove performer from this event
Finding an unlikely middle point between Suicide's hostile proto-electro punk art noise and the sardonic, studied, but ultimately pop-friendly sound of the Flaming Lips, MGMT started as electroclash musical terrorists but quickly transmogrified into an eclectic, brainy pop group...
The Action Design
The Action Design Remove performer from this event
The Action Design was formed in 2006 by former Tsunami Bomb members Emily Whitehurst and Matthew Mckenzie. After spending the first couple months writing, recording, and honing their sound, the line-up was completed by ex-tourmate/Pipedown member Jaycen Mckissick and Jake Krohn (ex-Calcutta Bazaar).
Santogold
Santogold Remove performer from this event
As a solo project comprised of a revolving door of members, the heart and face of Santogold is vivacious frontwoman Santi White. Paired with John Hill, her former counterpart from ska-punk band Stiffed, the two use their common backgrounds as production-savvy musicians to make bombastic...
The Federalists
The Federalists Remove performer from this event
We're a political band. We stand for the concept of individual liberty. We stand for the United States being the land of the free. We stand for the Constitution. We stand against the federal government which has criminally expanded beyond the bounds set for it by the U.
The Hundred Days
The Hundred Days Remove performer from this event
The Hundred Days, formed in late 2004 , released their self titled debut in May of 2006. The band performs 1-2 times a month at San Francisco's rock clubs including The Great American Music Hall, The Independent, and Bottom of the Hill.
Cypress Hill
Cypress Hill Remove performer from this event
Cypress Hill were notable for being the first Latino hip-hop superstars, but they became notorious for their endorsement of marijuana, which actually isn't a trivial thing. Not only did the group campaign for its legalization, but their slow, rolling bass-and-drum loops pioneered...
Middle Class Rut
Middle Class Rut Remove performer from this event
Middle Class Rut play a visceral brand of alternative rock that echoes the intensity of Jane’s Addiction and Refused, the pummeling rhythmic backbone of Rage Against The Machine and the anthemic post-punk core of The Foo Fighters.
DJ Omar
DJ Omar Remove performer from this event
DJ Omar was raised in the thriving musical subcultures of Washington, D.C., where he was exposed to sounds such as punk, goth, new wave, go go and hip hop at concerts and clubs. He credits this early education for the eclectic and open-minded slant he brings to mixing records.

Jul 03, 2008 - akamai on The Kooks
another indie rock bank from the UK

but one that i don't mind listening to.

Aug 19, 2007 - AntiCowJuice on Flogging Molly
Wipe the Golden Tear, From Your Mother, Dear...

And raise what's left of the flag for me!
This band really has an incredibly unique sound... Basically, if you took angry drunken Irish men and smooshed them together with a laid back Simple Plan, you'll get Flogging Molly. They're just... Amazing, really. With twangy banjoes and hard guitars, it's the perfect blend of redneck and punk. ♥
