Dead Kennedys

Dead Kennedys are a hardcore punk/punk rock band from San Francisco, California. During the 1980s the band gained a large underground following in the international punk music scene. Their music mixed the more experimental elements of English 1970s punk with the raw energy of the 1980s American hardcore punk scene. Dead Kennedys' songs mix the deliberately shocking lyrics of punk with a satirical and sarcastic left-wing commentary on social and political issues.

Bizet

The Bizet project born in May 2009 in Guadalajara, México by Carmen Reyes (Zanate & Asociados, Momo, Matinee) on Guitar and Vocals, Oscar Ramirez on Drums/Percussions and Manuel Tostado on Bass Guitar. With a most proper sound created by years of musical career, in Bizet we can hear influences of classic rock like Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix and contemporary like Wolfmother and Queens of the Stone Age. The band purpose it's keep that force and dynamics of pure rock coming from the 70', as a result, the band sounds like a modern rock band with taste of oldies.

Orient Express

Greenwich Village in the 1960s was home to the American folk music renaissance. “It cost $5 to get in to the Bitter End Café and Café Wha? and the Gymnasium if you didn’t plan on playing or singing on stage,” Bruno Giet recalls1. It was in the cafés where he met Guy Duris and Farshid Golesorkhi, two other struggling musicians looking for something to happen. Things were happening. Their contemporaries: Richie Havens, Buffy Sainte-Marie, John Philips and Holly Gilliam, and Bob Dylan to name a few.

Box Elders

Box Elders started as the Friday night goof off sessions of brothers Clayton and Jeremiah McIntyre. Naming themselves after the bugs that infested the house they grew up in, they began playing impromptu shows around Omaha. Drummer and organist Dave Goldberg saw them play a free show in a park and was convinced to join. The brothers suggested that Goldberg learn to play both instruments simultaneously instead of adding a fourth member. It took some practice.
