HATEBREED
w/ Godforbid, Evergreen Terrace, Terror, The Acacia Strain, & After The Burial
TICKETS: $18 ADV / $21 DOS
The New Haven, CT-based Hatebreed got together in 1993 for the purpose of creating a "back to basics" hardcore band with heavy, metallic guitars, screaming vocals, and 30-second songs. Consisting of Jamey Jasta (vocals), Lou "Boulder" Richards (guitar), Chris Beattie (bass), Sean Martin (guitar), and Rigg Ross (drums), Hatebreed had the chance to play throughout the East Coast while sharing the stage with the likes of Entombed, the Deftones, Slayer, and Napalm Death.

LOCAL H
TICKETS: $10 ADV / $12 DOS
Hailing from Chicago, Illinois, Local H is a two-man wrecking crew, a powerhouse invigorated by the mania of former Triple Fast Action drummer Brian St. Clair's punishing backbeat, and driven by the distinct lyric and melodic vision of guitarist/vocalist Scott Lucas. Having achieved mainstream success with their second album, As Good As Dead, and fueled by the multi-format hit single "Bound For The Floor," Local H always has continued to bring the noise. Alongside writing, recording, and releasing records, Local H has maintained a remarkable touring schedule - and an incredibly loyal fan base to match.

WAYNE HANCOCK
TICKETS: $12.00
Wayne Hancock has been called 'the master of hillbilly swing,' a 'roots Renaissance man' a 'country singer's country singer' and 'Hank Williams meets Gershwin.' But the phrase most frequently echoed throughout his career is 'Wayne Hancock is the real deal.' Joe Ely said it, Hank Williams III said it, Bobby Koefer from the Texas Playboys said it, as have countless music fans and writers when referring to Hancock's authentic and original blend of honky tonk, western swing, blues and big band that he calls 'juke joint swing!' Authenticity and sincerity have been and continue to be the cornerstones of Hancock's writing and music.

Their powerful live performance and heavy Internet presence were coupled with high praise for their EP (comparing them to the emotional catharsis of Glassjaw), cultivating an impressive underground following
