DEFTONES
Friday, October 27, 7:00pm
DEFTONES are not so much a band as they are a hyper-dynamic musical experience.
Imagine the world spinning off its axis, and you'll have a good idea of what
these guys sound like. Or, as lead singer CHINO MORENO says, "It's sweet,
ruthless." With their wicked rhythms, sinister riffs, speaking-in-tongues
vocals and rabid lyrics, the Sacramento, CA foursome build provocatively on
their Maverick debut album ADRENALINE with the new AROUND THE FUR. More powerful
than their first, it's a record that consolidates all their strengths--the
rhythmic dynamism, the jarring use of melody, the industrial/rap undercurrents,
"the bracing blend of extremes," according to the Los Angeles Times--and
radically creates its own wavelength.

Unwritten Law
Saturday, October 28, 2:00pm
You’ve rocked out to the harmonic fireworks of “Seein’ Red,” air-scratched the turntable squeaks of “Cailin,” and karaoked the staccato self-deprecation of “Save Me,” but you probably didn’t know that Unwritten Law were the chameleons behind all three.

Saturday, October 28, 7:30pm
From the heart of Texas, (yes, Dallas) the BURDEN BROTHERS are a big rock band that have been making an impact since the release of their debut CD, Buried in Your Black Heart in 2004. The record was a touchstone, not only rampant of radio play with tunes “Shadow” and “Beautiful Night,” but for well received touring agendas with the likes of Velvet Revolver, Papa Roach and Finger 11. »read more
Evans Blue
Sunday, October 29, 1:00pm
When they connected online through a musician’s message board, none of the members of Evans Blue imagined that he would be meeting his destiny. Each was a skilled player of his respective instrument, but they were living in three different cities that were miles apart. When they came together as a band, though, the five instantaneously became one. And the story begins… »read more
Shinedown
Sunday, October 29, 6:00pm
After touring for 23 months and playing more than 400 shows, you'd think the four members of Shinedown would want to rest. They did. For about two weeks.
Then it was back into the studio to start work on “US AND THEM,” the hard-rocking Jacksonville, Fla., band's second album and the follow-up to their 2003 platinum debut, “LEAVE A WHISPER.” "We took two weeks off and then went right back into the studio. We basically wrote every song from scratch and recorded it, and here we are now with a new album," says frontman Brent Smith. »read more
