>>>Sun Hop Fat:
Oakland's own ten-piece Ethiopian dance party where East African Funk and the styles of Mulatu Astatke’s Ethiopian Jazz are brought to life under the canopy of the modern era. Growing like wildfire, Sun Hop Fat offers a live dance experience which delves into the vintage sounds of the Swinging Addis period. A rhythm section churns, horn section pops and murmurs, and through it all an unearthing is discovered--a collection of voices that seeps electric honey. The band’s evolving psychedelic soul prowess and all these voices provide a sound scape rich enough to plant a garden in.

>>>Battlehooch:
Battlehooch unabashedly walks the line between pop sensibility and avant garde experimentation, bending the chaotic into the melodic and evoking passionate responses in everyone that hears them. Battlehooch describes their sound as "shape-shifting orchestral rock," characterizing the band's tendency to write stylistically varied songs with unique arrangements. This San Francisco six-piece has something for everyone.

>>>>Cash Pony: (Album Release!!)
Cash Pony will be celebrating the release of their first full length album, Carpal Tunnel Vision Quest! Tightly weaved, raw and suspenseful, Cash Pony is an Oakland based six piece that embarks on a dark yet joyous journey through a mind bending blend of progressive rock, psychedelic north indian ragas, ambient treatments, balkan folk passages and melodic compositions that guarantees to melt faces.
