All Grown Up
All Grown Up hails from the streets and beaches of Long Island, NY, where they have built a cult following throughout the East Coast after ten years of performing their unique brand of powerful, no holds barred rock. The band’s live shows and sound have been compared to the raw energy of the Foo Fighters, mixed with the guitar tones and intricate composition of Minus the Bear. Led by the powerful voice of 7′ lead singer Sean Corrigan, the band relies on impressive string plucking by Corrigan, Chris Gey and bassist Taylor Brown, punctuated by the machine gun-like drum beats of Timmy Fasano.

Shem’s Disciples
Shem’s Disciples is a New York-based band that produces an authentic One Droppin’ Hip Hoppin’ sound! The signature recipe of the Disciples is to respectfully mix reggae and live hip-hop. These ingredients create the core that is often tastefully seasoned with an afro-Caribbean and a Middle Eastern spice. Shem’s Disciples pay homage to the musical past while driving full speed ahead with original compositions and arrangements. Take a ride on the cross generational/cultural shuttle and let Shem’s Disciples bless you with their tribal wisdom, personal journeys, and positive energy!

Dead Till Tuesday
Dead Till Tuesday is the latest musical incarnation of Brooklyn-born songwriters Joe and Matt Pepitone (formerly members of electro-pop rockers The Switch and Circles for Hearts). Drawing on a set of influences as diverse as their Big Apple roots, Joe and Matt cast the mold for the music in early 2008 by combining elements of Rock, Indie, Electronic, New Wave, Hip-Hop and Pop in true genre-smashing fashion. Dead Till Tuesday quickly took form with energetic, catchy tunes that evoke memories of Joy Division, The Cure, Depeche Mode and The Smiths. Their new EP “What’s That Sound?” was produced and mixed by Mark Saunders (The Cure, Depeche Mode, Erasure). It is scheduled to be released in mid-March.
