Rock*A*Teens

Friday June 6th

Beyond 5 @ Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater

Beyond 5, the newest boy band sensation to explode onto the American pop music scene, was formed in 2013 by songwriter and producer, Tyler Castleton, along with co-writer and business partner, Russ Dixon. The group was created through a grueling American Idol-style audition process where over 500 teenagers were strategically whittled down to five ‘powerhouse’ performing artists selected for their singing skills, dancing ability, looks, and personalities. This Nashville-based group shares positive messages through their infectious songs and highly-acclaimed energetic performances, which have received an overwhelming response on a national and international level.

The Rock*A*Teens w/ special guests @ The EARL (SOLD OUT)

The Rock*A*Teens were nothing short of a force of nature. Roaring out of Cabbagetown, GA, they blended a unique mixture of dark, swampy rock influences into a thick primordial stew that defies categorization … Pop? Blues? Jazz? Rockabilly? Garage? Theirs was music of passion and lust, love and heartbreak, hope and despair, triumph and failure, heat and humidity.

Distortion pedals buzz with washes of reverb, organ whines and piano rolls, drums pound with tribal intensity, and the vocals wail and ache and rejoice, wrapping around themselves in a feverish embrace. A cool wash of emotion and grit. A cleansing of your tired and battered soul.


Ringo Deathstarr / DJ Dog Dick w/ Mexcellent, Blunt Fang @ 529

Warm guitars and pulsing drums combine to form an aggressively atmospheric bubble, encompassing the listener in an infectious cohesive which blends the sounds of an era when Sonic Youth and Jesus and Mary Chain walked the Earth with a forward thinking and creatively stubborn indie darling. Joined by Adam Franklin ofSwervedriver on the track “Nowhere” and Jeff Schroeder of theSmashing Pumpkins on “Chain Saw Morning,” Ringo Deathstarr has created a flawlessly crafted sound on God’s Dream, destined and deserving to exist on vinyl.

Affordable Old School Concert Series: 112, Jagged Edge, Silk, Kilo Ali, & Raheem the Dream @ Wolf Creek Amphitheater (SOLD OUT)

Stroke 9 w/ The Well Reds / Half King @ Smith’s Olde Bar

Rocking ain’t easy. History has shown us countless examples of bands that couldn’t hold it together, ending in either a spectacular on-stage explosion, or by quietly fading into nothingness. And yet here we have San Francisco’s STROKE 9, happily celebrating over 20 years in the music business. In an industry notorious for churning and burning, Stroke 9’s continued success can be attributed to one thing: They’re too dumb to stop doing it.

The Rock*A*Teens w/ special guests @ The EARL (SOLD OUT)

Peanut Butter Wolf @ MJQ Concourse

After three decades of vinyl DJing, PBW now prefers A/V sets, playing music videos pulled from his personal collection of rare VHS, DVD, laser disc, beta, etc.  Peanut Butter Wolf still enjoys a DJ career that has taken him around the world since 1992. Whether it’s a private dinner party for Bill Clinton, a string of dates with the Beastie Boys, Gwen Stefani’s birthday party, or his own high school reunion, Wolf is equally at home behind the turntables.
