Infectious Grooves
Infectious Grooves (n., in-fek-shus groovz) are a funk metal band led by Suicidal Tendencies frontman Mike Muir. It also featured ex-Suicidal Tendencies, now Metallica, bassist Robert Trujillo, and ex-Jane's Addiction drummer Stephen Perkins. Though Muir's sense of humor was often obvious with Suicidal Tendencies, Infectious Grooves often brought out a goofier type of humor: their albums contain comedy skits by a reptilian lover named Sarsippius. The band can be seen (and heard) performing as the prom band in the 1992 Pauly Shore film Encino Man

PigsAsPeople
With the mission to simply amaze people with the minimalistic set up of voice, guitar, bass and drums, PigsAsPeople are a force of nature that can only be conjured up by 3 words; agressive, abrasive and beautiful. Drawing influence from every area of the punk rock spectrum such as crushing textures of Russian Circles to the blistering pace of Converge and finally back to the punk roots of bands such as Fugazi and Black Flag, PigsAsPeople are a band to be listened to by any with a keen ear for loud and fast paced music.

Samsara Blues Experiment
Samsara Blues Experiment are a Berlin based psychedelic rock band, founded in Summer 2007 by leadguitarist/singer Christian Peters. They went through several changes in the first period but are in constant line-up since September 2008 featuring Hans Eiselt (guitar), drummer Thomas Vedder and Richard Behrens (bass). As the band name implies, three elemental aspects are to notice - the blues as the foundation where it all comes from, the inclusion of spiritual influences accompanied by Indian/raga music and the experimental approach to mix up varied elements in a convincing manner.
