the Rock: the Walk Ons (9:00 pm)
rock the way you need it...

The Walk Ons are rock gods and their dulcet tunes, our scripture; each riff, a compelling homily; each note, an exacting commandment. Other music was put here on Earth by The Walk Ons to test our faith in rock and roll. And if you have the constitution to believe, friend, then let the Walk Ons save you from the temptations of weak rhythms.

Don their merch as vestal garments and be born again in their likeness. In return, our merciful lords of sound shall rain down beats upon the faithful like sweat from their sacred brows. None shall be passed over as each set manifests itself as a euphonious baptism . . . each album, a disc of divinity . . . and each show, a sonorous reckoning. the Walk Ons full story...

The Rock: the Communications Corporation (9:45 pm)
reunion show!

A three piece explosion of Keytar, Bass and Drums, The Communication Corporation are in the business of getting people to shake in their pants. Blending unique synth-pop sensibilities with their own idiosyncratic style, The Communication Corporation is like attending a dirty dance party DJ-ed by the Talking Heads with Devo and a band of gypsy punks getting sweaty in the back. They're not a bad corporation. They're your Corporation.

Communications Corporation on MySpace...

The Rock: Fire Flies (10:30 pm)
the Emergenza victos' first week of residency!

There are four of us. We make music together. Sometimes our songs are about machines and robots. Sometimes they are about outer space. Sometimes they are about getting lost in other dimensions. And then sometimes they are about people who aren't sure what they're doing in this one. We know an alien when we see one.

We are a band called Fire Flies. learn more before they're everywhere!

The Rock: Sweet as Ether (11:15 pm)
one last show!

Rock is dead? Not according to Sweet as Ether. Their brand of rock is still alive and well. If hard 'n heavy melodic guitar with a dash of melt your face vocals & drums is your bag? Then Ether is sure to please! Where's the hard rock gone? It's been here all along. Sweet as Ether!

Learn more about Sweet as Ether....
