Additional Info: 21 and up. Event Will Run From 1:00pm - 6:00pm

Please join us for an afternoon celebration of fun, rock and roll, and baked goods at this rock show/bake sale! This is a benefit to ease financial stress for local lovable Shawn Steen and her husband Jack as they deal with Jack�s cancer. Bands will be playing all afternoon and a mountain of baked goods, as well as crocheted pint kozies, will be available for sale. Extra donations for the couple will be gratefully accepted at the door and at Mad City Music Exchange.

The Gravity Suit, formerly The Suit, plays bass fueled noise rock that collides with keyboard riddled prog rock and smashes into drum heavy post hardcore.

Knuckel Drager has a sound straight from the cutting room floor of a second rate 60s biker flick... Mixing surf, garage, and metal, they've proclaimed themselves as: "The Worlds Heaviest Surf Band". ...On stage, it's just a bunch of low-lifes in cheap monster masks having a Wanker-Fest.

The Arge plays rock�n�roll the way it should be: Loud, sweaty, heart on the sleeve and tongue in cheek.

The Apologists will bring their signature brand of garage country, as always.

IT'S TIME TO GET DOWN AND JAM WITH THE ONE AN ONLY DJ-P.L.4 ISLANDER BOY. PUTTIN DOWN SOME SMOOTH REGGAE BEATS,REGGAE TONES,R&B AND HIP HOP. SO COME AND SWEAT TILL YOU GET WET. YAH MUN. GO TA GO. YEP !!!!!!
