Dr. Manhattan is a post-punk band from Wauconda, Illinois. “Halfway between Mars and the smoke shop, Dr. Manhattan are a funky bunch of space cadets. I mean this in a good way. The Vagrant signees make art rock that's post-punk more than anything else, but it's charming, clever, intelligible and precisely erratic to the core….The first full-length from the Illinois foursome is a grasping 11-song punch. No, literally, it can sock you in the face.” (Julia Conny, absolutepunk)

Pop-punk outfit Direct Hit started out as a side project for Nick Woods of the Madison-Milwaukee band The Box Social. “One of Milwaukee's smartest pop-punk bands... Direct Hit's zippy, clean-around-the-edges songs are testaments to brevity, breezing by in just two or three minutes, all hooks and bridges, no filler. In that respect, they're throwbacks to the mid-'90s, Warped Tour-ready SoCal pop-punk of Epitaph and Lookout!” (Shepherd Express)

The Warhawks play punk rock and thrash.

The Gusto provides melodic punk rock and roll with hints of hardcore and metal emanating from the guitars.

The American Dead bash out country-punk tales of drinking, fighting, passing out, and doing it all over again the next night.

The Ragbirds

The Big Strong Men

Ask The Ragbirds how to describe their hard-to-define Folk Rock and World fusion and they’ll tell you it’s “infectious global groove”. Led by fiery front-woman Erin Zindle (called “Highly Impressive” by USA TODAY), they put on a show that is designed to engage the audience on many levels - to get people thinking, listening and dancing. The musical roots of The Ragbirds sound are complex - with Gypsy, Middle-Eastern, Americana, Rock, and Latin influences, all stirred with a Celtic fiddler’s bow. In live performances the band incorporates variations on traditional African drum pieces, each member trading their instrument for a hand drum. The Ragbirds craft their songs carefully weaving joy and hope into honest lyrics, while keeping an ear always open to improvisation. The songs carry a positive message that appeals to listeners of all ages. For all the intensity of their live show, this is a band that is not afraid to show their softer side with acoustic tunes that are anything but typical folk.

The Cosmonauts play funky blues and rock n' roll.

Minneapolis’ The Big Strong Men open the show.
