"The Soft White Sixties channel '60s R&B beautifully, but bring it up to us with melodies that are current, fresh and with a rolling lyrical movement....They would get the dance band award of the evening." --American Songwriter TV

"If twangy guitar isn't your bag, you might as well skip The Soft White Sixties show. But you'd be missing the coolly croaking vocals, classic guitar lines, hard-hitting drums and a contagious vintage-rock vibe. Would-be winners of an award for most accurate band name, The Soft White Sixties sound very much like a smooth late 1960s creation, though pumped up by modern melody." --SF Weekly

The Real Nasty is a power trio based out of the San Francisco Bay Area known for their ability to flow from country to rock with a raw force that leaves audiences reeling. Their huge sound and large repertoire is bolstered by the unique instrumentation of upright bass, guitar, and cajon (an Afro-Cuban box drum) and their music offers a fresh approach that "stomps through the same fields once occupied by Led Zeppelin and Johnny Cash, [with] even some Pixies-esque weirdness to keep everyone on their toes"(SF Weekly).

The Rondo Brothers are the bastard prince and diamond jim, two bay area based multi-instrumentalists, DJs, and producers. they became the Rondo Brothers in 2004 after living in New Orleans for several months working with Galactic on the ruckus album, and getting into a hotel hot tub with all of their clothes on.
