Taveren
The word TaVeren (pronounced Tah-VEER-an) can be translated as those who bend destiny around themselves. This is a concept that is certainly embraced by brothers Carl, Justin and Jerome Lubbe of TaVeren. All self-taught musicians, Carl plays guitar, Justin keyboards and guitar, and Jerome bass. Without exception TaVeren’s musical style is uniquely their own, yet the cognizant listener will hear the infusion of

Nothing More
Simply put, Nothing More is “Rock Meets Bruce Lee” (Alex Lozano, CEO, United Music Alliance). “No one out there is doing what Nothing More does night after night. No One matches their sound, and no one is even touching the caliber of sheer entertainment that Nothing More delivers on stage.” (Taylor Lee, SBC Productions). For Nothing More it seems like the years of hard work and hours of dedication are quickly paying off. Take it from Derek Bruner of ‘Journeyman Percussionist,’ “You DO NOT want to miss this!!”

"Defying categorization, Bebek…makes soul music that’s ethereal and distant, but still intimate, edgy and sexy. Rippling through Bebek’s eponymous CD and its tuneful blend of ire-filled guitars, schizophrenic keyboards and bipolar rhythms…are the modal, clarion tones of singer Lynn Michalopoulos. Her prayerful emotiveness, wrapped around allegorical tales of familial strength, loss and love, makes for a strong, challenging potion. Bebek is a heady elixir worth imbibing.” A.D. Amorosi – Philadelphia Inquirer.

The Hint
THE HINT is an independent rock band from DC and Baltimore. With almost 100,000 web hits and over 65 shows in 2005 alone, this foursome is one of the region's most prolific bands.
“A seemingly hidden treasure in the DC music scene, The Hint offers indie rock at it’s best. The Hint is an amazing band nestled among one of the largest and most diverse music scenes in the country. They stand out because they’re doing something different than everyone else and they’re doing it better. With creative and persistent self-promotion, a flare for the dramatic, and tunes polished to a T, they’re making sure you know who they are; a band that loves to create and play music that reflects the four different personalities and influences of the members. After releasing a full-length, the band has since released only demos and EP’s. They’re damn good demos and EP’s, but if you’re wondering why there hasn’t yet been another full album, the band explains it best, “This is our time to sort of find that album and when we do, we’re going to record it”.

Zelazowa

Born and bred in the basements of Philadelphia, zelazowa is intense, rebellious rock.

It was early 2000 when this quartet of childhood friends began performing together, and since then they have grown to create a sound that is entirely their own, combining raw, punk-fused energy with towering vocal lines.

In late 2003, zelazowa road-tripped to Nashville, TN to record three tracks at the Sound Emporium, and begin developing album material. Upon their return, they won the Last Band Standing Battle of the Bands competition at the Trocadero in Philadelphia, were selected as performers at the Millennium Music Conference, Mid-Atlantic Music Conference, and Motor City Music Conference, and made their Massachusetts debut at the Locobazooka Festival. A string of successful club shows in New York City and Philadelphia followed, before the band returned to the studio in late 2004 to lay down an entire album.
