Christian Death is most notable for their album Only Theatre of Pain, which was a major event in the birth of the Goth and Deathrock subculture within the United States and beyond. After many line up changes, at one point during the 1990s there were two bands with the name Christian Death. One featured Williams, and the other featured Valor Kand. Kand has been the lead guitarist since the second album "Catastrophe Ballet", and later became lead vocalist as well.

Tuesday, March 30	The Status Formed in the Fall of 2003 when Ben started writing songs with guitarist/vocalist Andy Thompson, The Status took formal shape when drummer Mike Felker and Ben's brother Danny joined the band, releasing their independently released debut EP in December 2006. Cutting their teeth on tours with Bedlight for Blue Eyes, Sound the Alarm, and Tokyo Rose, they hit their groove when they met Anthony of Bayside who took them under their wing and decided to manage them. "Getting to know Anthony and the Bayside guys have been amazing," he explains. "Anthony is one of the hardest working guys I've ever met, so it's amazing to have him pushing me constantly as a songwriter and person." Kids of Survival The last year has been an exciting one for the KIDS OF SURVIVAL: FOX News used their song, “My Addiction” to promote their Good Morning L.A. show; they played the New York Bamboozle Festival in May 2009; they passed 5 MILLION plays on their Myspace site, and in June, their long-awaited sophomore record, Deliver the Message, was triumphantly released. wsg TBA

Saturday, March 27	Holly's B-Day Party Easy Action Chapstik The Shakey Jakes Best Idea Ever

Saturday, March 20	Elm Street Riot wsg/TBA "Elm Street Riot plays a no-remorse, blues-infused rock that leaves the listener wanting more. Their first song on the EP, I'm A Mess kicks it off in full fuzz ferocity with a simultaneous bass/guitar riff that grasps a hold of your attention and refrains from letting go. A few short seconds after this, the first idea that comes to my mind is "Glorious Garage Rock." With nearly flawless execution, Elm Street Riot conjures up similarities between themselves and bands such as Cage The Elephant and Kings of Leon." -Kalamazoo Noise
