The Pretty Dead were formed by Theo after he moved to Manchester in January 2014, soon after Liam was found on Drums and after a few false starts they found Mike on Lead Guitar and Nicola on Vocals. The band is heavy riffs, classic sounds, rock, pop and metal thrown in a blender and served with the occasional slice of cheese. @theprettydeaduk

Doc Holiday is a young, up and coming Blues Punk quartet based out of the Carolina's. Known regionally for their on stage acrobatics, piano smashing, guitar throwing, and honest musicianship. Their style is an amalgamation of genres, with influences ranging from garage rock, post punk, blues, pop, hip hop to reggae. All four are orphan brothers, bound together by the undeniable urge to preach rock n' roll to the masses.

Willamena was founded in 1996 and quickly advanced to opening for national acts such as Fishbone and SR-71, and sold all 700 copies of their first CD “High Price to Pay.” “Price" received some local airplay and the band toured like fiends. Like their Michigan home, Kalamazoo’s Willamena was counted out by the corporate cognoscenti years ago. But these underdogs, with their original Midwestern rock and their blue-collar work ethic, just won’t stay on the canvas. @Willamenaband
