TONE of ARC
Derrick Boyd
Zoe Presnick
-from SF
-Tone Of Arc brings a glimpse of real musicality to the underground tech house, punk house, and indie house scene, something rarely experienced on the dance floor. They also sing, play guitar, bass, and keys (along with a variety of other random instruments that occupy their studio, which now includes a cello!). This sense of bravado and daring blurs the line between traditional live performance and the microprocessor obsessed futurism. Tone Of Arc's powerful stage presense drawn from old school cats like Iggy Pop, The Clash, and Bowie helps to partially define the originality of their music.    


The Frail 
Kevy, Danny, Izzy, Andrew, and Aaron. -From San Francisco, California.

-Recently named the best up-and-coming act in SF by Deli Magazine, The Frail has already been featured on MTV, won the viewer's choice award in Owl Magazine's "Video Makes the Radio Star" contest, and have opened for Hot Chip, Justice, Moby, Neon Trees, MSTRKRFT, TV on the Radio and Goldfrapp to name a few. Over the past few years, velvet-throated vocalist Daniel Lannon and hyper-prolific producer Kevin Durr and Israel Chavarin have propelled the group from a Craigslist collaboration to a stage-shattering electro-pop act worthy of international acclaim. Pushing the pop and electronic boundaries to something bigger, their music is a hybrid of indie, pop, synth, Top 40, and electro. Defying traditional genre classification, the group's electro-tinged cuts toe the line between a falsetto homage to Michael Jackson and the hyper-literate electro experimentation of DFA acts like LCD Soundsystem.  


Breakdown Valentine
ALLEN DAVIS (vox/synth/guitar/production)
OLIVIA BARCHARD (vox/synth bass)
"invisible" member: JASON WANN (synth/songwriting)
live musicians: DAN FRANCISCO (drums)
-from SF
-Breakdown Valentine hails from San Francisco and consists of Allen Davis (formerly of Every Move a Picture) and Olivia Barchard.
Musically, their inspiration stems from the warmth of analog synth sounds to mindscapes of cinematic value.
Recently, they have been busy hitting the live circuit, playing alongside some great acts such as Chromatics, Big Black Delta, Soft Metals, and Holy Ghost!

Freshly off the BFD 2014 Local Band stage, they are currently getting rotation on Bay Area radio station LIVE105.3 by Aaron Axelsen on his weekly show Soundcheck.

"Breakdown Valentine puts on a very energetic in addition to interactive show that will make an audience dance. No matter the tempo, the bass and rhythm of their songs make the body move. Olivia Barchard’s vocals have vitality that rings through in every song she sings. Being that “Beautiful Distraction” is Breakdown Valentine’s debut EP, expect to hear more arousing music to come from this San Francisco band." - Justin Crowley, SF Examiner
