Eat Your Birthday Cake - (Set time: 11:00 PM)
Eat Your Birthday Cake doesn’t sing songs about pretty girls, broken hearts or hating their parents. Instead, they “indie rock” about youth, summers, friends and a fear of the suburbs. Inspired by Jens Lekman, Brian Eno, and Lou Reed to name a few, Bill Storck and Marc Neibauer began collaborating in early 2008 and their sound continues to evolve. A healthy dose of humor, irony, and honesty pervade their infectious melodies, many of which can be heard on their inaugural release, "I Know You Can".
The Daredevil Christopher Wright - (Set time: 10:00 PM)
Three dudes from Eau Claire Wisconsin. Indie pop. Awesome.
In Deference Of A Broken Back isn't the sort of album you can accurately judge after a few songs. The Daredevil Christopher Wright visit a preposterous number of genres across this full-length debut and step on the toes of Final Fantasy, Hawksley Workman, Dr. Dog, Fleet Foxes and even Built To Spill. Genre shifting of that magnitude is disastrous on most records, but this trio somehow make it work.
Twenty-five non-band members contributed instrumentation to this disc, including Bon Iver's Justin Vernon, who also mixed it....This album is definitely a journey. When you reach the end, it'll feel like you've witnessed a carefully planned work of art coming to fruition.

Coversations With Enemies - (Set time: 9:00 PM)
"With songs that reference murderous thoughts, Greek mythological creatures, zombies and vampires, you’d think Conversations with Enemies might be the next bad death metal band. However, they manage to weave these topics into feel good indie pop for the hipster who might tend to be unlucky in love. It’s endearing like an old friend trying his/her best to cheer you up after a bad breakup." - Philadelphia Deli Magazine
