More info on the bands:
FUCKED UP
Fucked Up have the most perfect name for any band in rock history. In two words it bluntly states the truth that lies at the heart of the white noise maelstrom – things are different from what you expect.
Right from the start this Toronto band has been pushing musical and conceptual boundaries. Forming ostensibly as a punk band, they swiftly took on hardcore and twisted it into their own version, with a psychedelic edge, unexpected instrumentation like flute and keyboards, and songs stretched to perverse lengths.

KING KHAN & THE SHRINES
Who is this manic Master of Ceremonies who openly confesses to the two grand black bohemians said to be lunatic Sun Ra and George Clinton, and whose antics certainly remind us of a young Herman Sonny Blount and his Solar Arkestra? King Khan & The Shrines have been spreading their love like peanut butter since 1999. A youngblood King Khan on his royal buddhistic journey decides to sow some wild oats in Germany, he finds true love and fulfills his life long dream of leading a super bad ass 10 piece soul inferno!

THE SOFT PACK
This is the true story of The Soft Pack, one of the most exciting young bands in America. It’s the tale of how they came to deliver a stone-cold classic debut album, the best rock-garage-pop-punk debut of the year. Yes, the best. We know that before the year has even started. Normally at this juncture the band bio implies that the act will soon be the biggest and best in the world. We’ll not do that. Just slip The Soft Pack on. The evidence is there. Or as Matt more modestly puts it, “I think we’ve laid some good ground-work to be able to do this for a few more years…”

THEE OH SEES
Thee Oh Sees are the latest incarnation of songwriter, singer, and guitarist John Dwyer's ever-evolving pop-folk psychedelic group. Dwyer, who hails from Providence, RI, has been active on the San Francisco indie scene since the late '90s, working with several bands, including the Coachwhips, Pink & Brown, Yikes , Up Its Alive, and Swords & Sandals, among others, and he formed OCS (which is an acronym for Orinoka Crash Suite, Orange County Sound, or whatever Dwyer decided it was on any given day) initially as a vehicle for the experimental instrumentals he was producing in his home studio. In time OCS morphed into an actual band, and worked under the usual flurry of names, most notably as the Oh Sees or the Ohsees , and eventually as Thee Oh Sees, featuring Dwyer on guitar and vocals, Brigid Dawson on vocals and tambourine, Petey Dammit (sometimes listed as Petey Dammit! on bass, and Mike Shoun on drums.
"Thee Oh Sees incorporate the oft-referenced Nuggets stuff in a way that feels reverential. With grinding guitars and bah-bah-bah vocals, but with the punk and new-wave elements also at play, they don't feel trite or plagiarized. This is like meat and potatoes prepared by a master chef--totally familiar but utterly delicious." --Pitchfork

THE DIRTBOMBS
Nearly ten years after their acclaimed Ultraglide in Black helped kick-start a renewed interest in all things Detroit and rock-and-roll, The Dirtbombs are releasing the de facto companion piece, Party Store. The Dirtbombs ability to reinterpret is their trump card and with their work here they will undoubtedly turn a whole new audience of “rock” ears on the techno world they have ignored far too long for no good reason.

QUINTRON & MISS PUSSYCAT
This years Bruise Cruise 2 will feature the world premiere of a brand new puppet movie by Miss Pussycat ! There will be free jewelry at the premiere. Miss Pussycats career in puppetry began in junior high school in the Christian Puppet Youth Ministry. These days her live puppet shows can be seen in rock clubs all over the world with Quintron, and on Carnival Cruise ships. Her puppet movies include North Pole Nutrias, Electric Swamp, and Trixie and the Treetrunks. In 2010 her mini magic landscapes and puppets were installed in the New Orleans Museum of Art as the exhibit “Parallel Universe”.
Quintron and Miss Pussycat will take time off from their busy touring schedule this fall and winter to venture into the unknown and make a new puppet movie. You can expect technicolor landscapes with a lot of texture and things that talk. Perfect remedy for sea sickness.

NEIL HAMBURGER
America’s Funnyman Neil Hamburger is the hardest working comedian in existence, performing up to 399 shows a year internationally to critical acclaim and audience bewilderment. He has toured as the hand-picked opener for Tenacious D, Tim & Eric, and Faith No More, appeared on TV shows ranging from Fox News’ Red Eye to Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! and Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and worked extensively with Tom Green on his internet talk show. Among his dozen or so albums and DVDs is the new LP release Hot February Night.

MIKAL CRONIN
Taking influences such as the late sixties Del Shannon and The Everly Brothers and filtering them through his own mutant Californian fuzz, Mikal deftly explores his singer-songwriter side that at moments feel like a punk Harry Nilsson or Curt Boettcher - balancing sweet melodies and chords with chunky, psychedelic guitar freakouts. Long time friend and collaborator Ty Segall will be performing in Mikal’s band on board the ship.

THE TOGAS
The Togas is Ty Segall of Ty Segall, Philip Sambol of the Strange Boys, Shannon Shaw of Shannon and the Clams and Lance Wille of the Reigning Sound. They were formed over the phone with the intention of providing the highest quality oceanic entertainment. The Togas will be debuting a covers set individually selected by Bruisers. Each Bruiser will be able to select one song, with the most requested and fun selections to be performed on the ship for all you harpoons and moby dicks
VOCKAH REDU
Although the Magnolia Housing Projects have long been demolished, a light post still stands at the corner where youth like Vockah Redu (Javocca Davis) gathered to rap and create beats. The light post marks one of the birthplaces of Bounce music, a genre of rap specific to New Orleans that has invigorated crowds throughout the South. Vockah Redu and the Cru animate the stage with their dynamic revival of dance, music, and art from the street corner to the club. More than your typical hip-hop act, this theatrical performance sets the stage for a sweaty hands down booty up good time, transforming any party, bar, or dance floor in your neighborhood.
The original Cru formed in 1997 and was composed of the Ave Girls; Joi Jadah (Joi Denise Sessions), Teedy Booh (Tasha Marie Butler), Ninny (Shanita Davis), Grahonda Pooh (Madonna Melissa Oliver). Currently the Cru is com- posed of Shortee Whop (Glendell Weir), Energyzah (Clarence Mosley), and Taveion Rodeo (Donte Brown). The Cru dominates the stage with electrifying choreography, costumery, skits, and superb street style.

SOUL CLAP & DANCE OFF WITH MR. JONATHAN TOUBIN
North America's most popular soul party DJ, Mr. Jonathan Toubin, isn't only known his wildly unique 45rpm "maximum rock and soul" sets, but also for throwing legendary parties like Soul Clap and Dance-Off, Shakin' All Over Under Sideways Down, the Happening, Polyglot Discotheque, Declassified, and, most recently, his floating get-down "Ya Ya" Yacht. In only a few short years, this former writer, musician, and record label proprietor's relentless labors (300+ action-packed annual gigs!) haven't only sparked and spearheaded the emerging NYC rock and roll underground dance party scene, but have recently been planting seeds and changing nightlife around the globe - from art galleries to rock venues to discos to major music festivals.
