The Subtle Tease
Alternative Rock, Indie, Electronic
Watsonville, CA

The Subtle Tease are a band from Watsonville, CA. They were formed by Jon Banda and soon became a band in 2009. The band is presently focusing on playing shows and recording there own songs, themselves. All of there music comes from the wide array of influences they have as well as the life experiences they go through.
Thanks to everyone who supports us! - The Subtle Tease

Rock/Garage/Indie
San Diego, CA

Singer/songwriter Jamie Rose & multi-instrumentalist Paul Michlik join forces to create moody rock songs with lush arrangements. After playing live throughout the West Coast, SXO recorded their debut EP Cats in Heat, mixed and mastered by Jack Endino. The band continues to tour in support of Cats in Heat with a live show that, in the words of modernrockmag.com, "goes from sweet to thrashing at a moment's notice."
New Wave / Psychedelic / Punk
Santa Cruz

Noise Clinic (USA) is:
Taito Reed: Guitar, Vocal
Sayaka Yabuki: Violin, Vocal, Loops, noiseations
Joe Gabent: Bass, Noiseilator
Trevor McClain: Drums, noise machine
James Feathers: Visual Distortions, Jello Projector
originally started in Tokyo, Japan, in September of 2006 with Taito, Tabata, Mitsuru and Kawakita, Ayato to much critical acclaim, played many shows in Japan and recorded with the legendary Charlie in Tokyo to make the remarkable unreleased album, 'Mona Lisa has John Coltrane eyes'. Taito is the mastermind behind the old school West Coast, USA noise-rock band Junk Sick Dawn and also plays guitar for Power Strip and Sayaka Starlite (in Santa Cruz, Ca. USA), Oh My Cow! (Kyoto, Japan) and +DOG+ (L.A., California). Tabata is a founder member of The Boredoms and is active in many projects including Zeni Geva, Acid Mother's Temple and Amazon Saliva. Ayato is an incredible engineer and also plays with the Ayato Kawakita Project jazz group.
Taito Reed re-formed Noise Clinic in Santa Cruz, Ca, USA in 2009 after an abrupt and unintentional departure from Japan in 2008. Teamed up with international recording artist Sayaka Yabuki (Sayaka Starlite, Black Cab, Zen Paradox, Memory Geist) and pioneering loop artist and percussionist Rick Walker (Tao Chemical, Lackadaisy, Done Beginner), the trio set out on a flurry of gigs through the SF Bay Area. This led to the induction of Joe Gabent (Exploding Crustaceans, The Gibbs, SA90, The History Lesson) on bass. More songs were added to the set, and drummer Rick exited and Trevor McClain (Fiends at Feast) was brought in and now rounds out the group. Busily writing new material and resurrecting songs from the Japan Noise Clinic's finished but never released album to add to the live show, Noise Clinic is gearing up for a very busy 2011. James feathers, of original Junk Sick Dawn fame, is along doing an insane array of organic light projection known as the Hikari Saru (Bright Monkey) an almost scary primordial acid flash back they keep promising us. With an enormous sonic attack, textural freakouts, hard rock meets noise meets metal, introspective and often dark subjects and taboo tones, sci-fi psychedelia punk rock grindcore and explosive live shows, Noise Clinic is ready to spark the fuse of a Rock and Roll noise revolution.

Ardalan----------
https://soundcloud.com/ardalann

Growing up in Iran, Ardalan's influences ranged from early Daft Punk to old school techno.When Ardalan moved to the United States, his mind would be blown by the sounds of the infamous dirtybird BBQ parties.Since he was still under 21, this was his only 'party' experience; yet, it would provide enough momentum to set him up for future success.

Investing in music production software, Ardalan worked tirelessly to harness his passion for the deep, techy sound.Just a few years later, Ardalan's dedication would pay off when he submitted dirtybird's Justin Martin with a 10 minute demo.After one listen, Justin thought the track was genius and took on the project - the outcome was Mr. Spock, a 2010 instant anthem!

2011 has proved to be Ardalan's jump off with releases on Chillin Music, Anabatic Records, Sound Pelligrino, Kabutomushi Records, Evolution Records, Demento Mori and dirtybird.

You want it, Ardalan's got it! Lezgo!

May the Bass be with you!

Coming into electronic music in 2004, Steven quickly started make a name for himself at parties around the South Bay with his monitors and mixer always in tow.

Meanwhile, Steve began to put the infamous Wake&Bake Campouts into motion, and after 3 years of turning dirt and building his own stages, Steve now hosts shows 400 attendees deep at his property every summer.

Truckstop Darlin', Burnt Palms, & Dead Remote @ The Blue Lagoon Wednesday 1/9/13

Wednesday 1/9/13

Truckstop Darlin'
Mountain Grunge
Portland, Oregon

Truckstop Darlin’ comes out of the amazing music scene of the Great Northwest, more specifically, Portland, Oregon. Despite being loud and thundering, Truckstop Darlin' wear their hearts on their sleeves; if Wilco grew up listening to Lucero's harder moments, it might sound something like this. Their live shows are a sweaty, fist-pumping riot soaked in cheap beer and whiskey and while most bands who fall under the alt-country umbrella focus more on the country part, Truckstop Darlin' keeps their amps turned up. These boys play honest, driving rock n’ roll.

Punk Rock
Santa Cruz

It ain't easy being a three piece in a world of music that is processed and overdone so we bring what is real back to a punk rock trio. Oh, and we will bring it.
We are three guys hailing from Santa Cruz, California. Have you heard of it, dudes? We brought you The Lost Boys...that's right...The Lost Boys. Whatchu got? S.C. also has a lineage of punk rock and the three of us are glad to put it back on the map.
