At 7 pm, high-energy local favorites
The Dreamscapes Project takes the stage! TDP is "one of the most innovative bands to come out of the East Coast in the last decade." -- chickswithgunsmag.com Fronted by 12-string acoustic guitar and cello, the addition of melodic bass grooves and world percussion makes it a struggle to define a genre narrower than "acoustic". You have to hear it to believe it--TDP is one band you definitely don't want to miss!

| 8:30 pm brings us Red This Ever,
a Baltimore based New Wave, Synth-Rock band filled with shy anger and catchy hooks. Their songs fluidly combine the sound of the current electronic scene with intriguing melodies and infectious rhythms that harken back to the glorious days of the Post-Punk, New Wave revolution. Red This Ever have often been blamed for having songs that stick to you like glue, as well as not having enough room to dance! |

Cassandra Syndrome is an intimate theater of darkness and seduction. "Irene Jericho [displays] her vocal prowess through layers of operatic melodies and harmonies that complement the band's restrained yet energetic style of metal that owes to the likes of Nightwish and Streams of Passion." -- ReGen Magazine |
