Mondo Drag
John Gamino - Keyboards & Vocals Nolan Girard - Guitar & Synthesizer Jake Sheley - Guitar Ventura Garcia - Drums Andrew O'Neil - Bass
-from Oakland, CA

-The creatures known as Mondo Drag hailed from deep along the banks of the wild Mississippi River where they created ominous, spiritual, savage psychedelic revival sounds. Summoned to the edge of the Earth, they journeyed west, collecting new sounds reminiscent of desert scapes, acid dreams, all-night prog vinyl spinning and a dark galaxy of protometal swirls,  exalting the band unto new, wickedly brilliant horizons. Now settled in the deep realms of Oakland, the ensemble continues to create cosmically proportioned, churning jams evocative of a rainbow of obvious inspirations but also numinous new sounds emerging from the organ - heavy riffs. If you love Blue Cheer, Black Sabbath, Can, Atomic Rooster, Hawkwind, Budgie, Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, Italian prog, Krautrock in general, and heavy space-outs....get into Mondo Drag. They'll knock your socks off, let your hair down and take you on a mind's eye exploration you won't soon forget. Though they exude love for the spiraling tapestry of heavy psychedelia of the past, they are on a rock and roll mission all their own: an unearthed prog band, futuristic in their time capsule, rocketing forward through the depths, gathering the sounds of space itself.


Sugar Candy Mountain
Ash Reiter- vocals/guitar, Will Halsey- vocals/drums, Michael Fortes- vocals/keys, Thomas Edler- bass,
Bryant Denison- guitar
-from Oakland CA

-Mystic Hits — a space-age blast of psychedelic pop and Tropicalia that sounds like it could have reverberated right out of Phil Spector’s echo chamber. If Brian Wilson had dropped acid on the beach in Brazil and decided to record an album with Os Mutantes and The Flaming Lips, it would sound like this— featuring space-age sounds and far-out frequencies from the tripped our tropics.


 Young Elders
Blaine Tabor - bass guitar, David Volker - drums, voice, Christina Mansfield - voice, Nick Castro - voice, keyboard, guitar
Current Location
-from San Francisco, CA


-"Young Elders are a psych-rock band from San Francisco bringing street harmonies and psychedelic wizadry on the edge of a blade. They left behind the acoustic instruments of their first albums and replaced them with combo organs and fuzz guitars. With arrangements proggy enough to keep your head spinning and beats stomping enough to keep your feet moving, Young Elders are a record collector's wet dream. Young Elders' lead songwriter, Nick Castro, is known for his acoustic work and for his time in legendary UK psych-pop band Kaleidoscope. Young Elders' Castro has played the Austin Psych Fest, Spain's EuroYeYe, and has shared stages with the Sun Ra Arkestra, Vetiver, and Os Mutantes among others. Though this newest lineup is less than a year old, they've already played shows with Rachel Fannan, Paula Frazer and Cave Clove at San Francisco venues as diverse as downtown's rooftop stage, The Tip, and the Rickshaw Stop. With twin leads like fiery ice and bass lines like a velvet sledgehammer, Young Elders are the rhythmic reflection of today's art-damaged aesthetics."

-Classic Rock is where it's at. Do you long for the days when rock was kick ass? When you could turn on the radio (KMAC/KISS) and enjoy good music all day long.Well those dasre gone but I can bring them back to life!
