Saturday March 30th
Grand Ballroom
2pm: 13th Sky
"Wonderfully reminiscent of the old days when Souixsie reined queen- surpreme in the underground airways, 13th Sky comes twirling in on tornado of dreamy stirrings from California. Composed of members from bands such as The Winter Chapter, The Thaw and The Razor Skyline, this 3 song EP is enough to make my mouth water. I liked them the second the first note played. Marvelous stuff. As a reviewer you get quite jaded and bored with band after band sometimes Ð but this is unique Ð different, wonderful. " Blu - Starvox.net
4pm: Shone Maschine
"Born out of a love for digital toys and music with power, a hatred for the post- grunge shoegazer crap that passed for music on the radio, and an all around disgust with the state of the world. Intended to fuze dance, goth, industrial with serious ass-kicking guitars and stop-your-heart bass. The GUI (graphical user interface) is composed of musicians respected enough to want them for live performances. NOT a studio band." - Shone Maschine
6pm: The Shadow Cabinet
"If you've gotten tired of synthetic music, if you've longed for the days of real dark bands with real energy coursing through their veins, or if youÕre new to this scene and donÕt know what youÕve been missing, check out Shadow Cabinet." Blu - Starvox.net
8pm: Eye Kandy
"Eye Kandy's musical style is a complicated melange of synth, guitar and bass riffs. Vocals are tinged with electronic experimenting that gives it a strong and slightly electrical feel. They combine elements of synth-pop, industrial dance and tinge that with just enough guitar-ridden thrashiness to keep it interesting, They have a strong stage presence and powerful sound with an overwhelming quality. If you don't move something during this show you're probably post-mortem." Marcus Pan -

10pm: ThouShaltNot
"The songs delve into hypnotic rhythms that are at times layered against a backdrop of disconcerting surroundings that vacillate from searing to indifferent emotions. Each track of medieval themes and textures are chiseled with a sculptor's uncanny precision. The harmonization between ancient texts and original lyrics is tantamount to flawless as are the craftsmanship of the musicians and the accompanying vocalizations." -Mike Ventarola- Starvox.net
12am: Judith
"Judith drives a fine line bent on honing gothic rock to a very, very precise art. To that end, Judith create wonderful gothic rock much in the realm of early Mission and others. " Austin Govella-
