Special Guests / Opening Acts: 

BOMP

Featuring The MoonGoons, Get Cryphy DJs, and Wzz Wnshp. The party that wouldn't die, Bomp moves to the historic First Avenue mainroom. After losing their beloved home at The Bedlam Theatre on the West Bank, Bomp was forced to take the show on the road. After throwing monthly parties that proved to be too big for the likes of Nick & Eddie and The Nomad, Bomp has arrived at the only place in town that can handle the mayhem.

FREAKY DEEKY

LIVE cable access call-in psychedelic dance show! A public broadcast display of mustache piracy in full style freeform eyejuice, freakzitsauce popping smiles, drinking video milk from their teets of exhibitionism.

PLAYATTA

A creative team from the future, committed to inspiring change through the design of INTERACTIVE VIDEO PLAYGROUNDS used to facilitate play as a fundamental life force for growth and the reaching inspired human potential.

GRAMMA’S BOYFRIEND

For how talented and musically diverse the members of Gramma's Boyfriend are, they could easily take their sound in myriad directions. And, as anyone who has ever seen the band perform live can attest, they regularly do, bouncing seamlessly from bristling thrash numbers to carefree, keyboard-laden dance tracks to moodier, more soulful electronic experiments.

ESTATE

Estate is an electro dance group from Minneapolis, MN. Signed to UK label Mullet Records in 2010, the boys of Estate are riding high on the praise for their latest release, Nuclear City EP. On stage, Estate brings the magic to the dance floor as a power trio who dish out furious funk, sensuous synths and brain slamming beats. Their shows are a treat for the eyes as well as the ears thanks to the many animations and heaps of custom edited found footage montages that accompany the performance.
