Viola Booth Group (http://violaboothgroup.tumblr.com/) is a six-to-twelve-piece playing rare R&B, Soul, Early Rock, and Epic Ballad covers. Formed in Spring of 2012, they’re already getting tons of well-deserved attention across the bay.

Paranoids (http://paranoids1.bandcamp.com/) occupy a murky realm between melodic balladry, playful pop, and noisy psychedelia. With a seven-odd-year history featuring a staggering number of instrumentalists, instrumentations, and stylistic explorations, Paranoids sometim
es seem schizophrenic. But the peculiar pop sensibilities of songwriter Damon Larson run a thread through the group’s chameleonlike evolution.

Mammoth Life (www.mammothlife.com) is a new-to-SF indie-pop three-piece with a sound reminiscent of Magnetic Fields, Mates of State, and Tennis.

DJ Neil Martinson (SMiLE!) spins Psych, Soul, Glam, Laserboogie and other tasty platters throughout the night.
