Cielo Vertical Arts performing at SubZERO Festival, June 2012- DIRTY PILLOWS (San Jose, CA)
Dirty Pillows were born in San Jose, California in spring 2008 to Millhows and Jeff Jagged. They play really cool music and if you know what’s good for you, you will listen to them.
- Drop Dead Sixty
Based in the Bay Area, DROP DEAD SIXTY draws influences from a number of different places, hoping to culminate a variety of sounds into something new, and bring that sound into a theatrical and energetic live show. Their stage presence is often compared to Scott Weiland (STP), with a charismatic front-man that grabs the audience’s attention with piercing eye-shadowed eyes, as he slinks around the stage in a unique, almost possessed appeal that is unparallel in the local music scene. And let’s not forget their most loyal fan, Good Times Robot, who makes an appearance at every show!
- The Ferocious Few
These true vagabonds of American music have honed their skills at the edge of the night, and sharpened their knife sharp teeth on the depraved mouth of a society dying, but dying to party. The Ferocious Few pipe direct from the vein of what once was good and true in this country, but not in the good old days sense of rocking chairs on porches and home made lemonade, rather rocking chair’s thrown through porch windows and lemonade somehow on fire, forever.

South 1st St. in SoFA District, San JoseON THE STAGE:
7:30-8:15 PM Mad Noise
8:45-9:30 PM The Wild Reeds
10:00-10:45 PM Ben Henderson & Friendswith STREET MRKT’s Emcee
- MAD NOISE(Oakland, CA)MAD NOISE has only been together for about 2 years, but the ever-expanding ensemble has been recognized in Bay Area press as the Best Local Band (Bay Guardian & Daily Cal 2011), Best Hyperliterate Busking Outfit (SF Weekly 2011) and took grand prize at Ex’pression College’s Battle of the Bands in June 2011. With the help of local producer, Scott Miller, the ensemble has recently finished recording their first full-length album and aims to showcase their incredibly mature songwriting and captivating stage presence. This is the band to watch for 2012!
- The Wild Reeds
Beneath the hair and the torn tights lie the folk-rock melodies and jazzy overtones that is The Wild Reeds. Since December 2009, The Wild Reeds have shared a common purpose, to work hard and develop good, honest music that reflects the deepest caverns of their hearts. The Wild Reeds is composed of three parts, the enchanting Natalie Nicoles, the fearless Sharon Silva and the high-spirited Kinsey Lee. The three young women rotate around the stage exchanging roles and tossing around a variety of instruments such as guitar, harmonium, banjo, auto harp, and mandolin while wooing their audiences with their acclaimed three-part harmonies.
- Benjamin Henderson & Friends
“Benjamin Henderson is a bandit with a heart of gold. He steals strums, styles and stories from the past and sets them free to dance the good dance, night after night, venue after venue. His charm, powerful voice and musical ability will allow him to get away with it for years. No matter the setting or with what ensemble, Henderson always delivers a passionate and palpable energy to the listener. He trades EPs and goose bumps for five dollar bills. With Get Me Wrong, his follow-up to last year’s Dirty Birdies, Ben has accumulated a hefty load of kudos and a chain of followers. His fans show up to watch his rock band, The Good Hustle, or his collaborations with other local all-stars, and local press tries hard to put into words something about Ben Henderson’s muse, his connection to the cosmos, his believability and the passion behind his words and music.
