DIZZY BALLOON
This super-fun local band hosts its 2nd Annual Post-Thanksgiving Party, giving everyone a way to work off that turkey. "Showmanship, musicianship, boundless energy, catchy danceable numbers, and a clever sense of humor ... what more could you ask for? There's no other word for it, this band is just fun." -- Bandega.com

THE JAKES
Hailing from Newport Beach, CA, the 5 piece band has been making music together since high school. Influenced by Kings of Leon, The Strokes and My Morning Jacket, among others, the band has crafted its own unique "sun-soaked indie rock" sound. "The Jakes package a slick set of rock songs into a release that for all of its cocksure maturity and tight, catchy production, can easily be confused with a veteran stadium show." --AbsolutePunk

THE FEDERALISTS
The Federalists blend country, pop, and classic rock styles, drawing from Wilco, Ryan Adams, The Rolling Stones, Steve Miller, and The Band. "The band has the kind of warm, familiar sound that helped propel into the mainstream Bay Area acts such as the Counting Crows and Train. The album is steeped in classic-rock influences, its timeless appeal deepened by the intertwining melodies and richly textured folk-rock arrangements." -SF Chronicle
