The performance line-up: 

Twin Berlin - 11:30 a.m.-11:50 a.m.

Winner of our Local Opener competition Twin Berlin is the band you've been waiting for. With their over-driven, under produced sound, the band rebels against the wave of electro-pop synthesized music, producing no-nonsense, sweaty, bloody, and maniacal underground rock ‘n’ roll. Their new EP, There Goes My Virtue, was produced by Travis Barker and features the single, "Can't Take, Take, Take".

Eve 6 - 12 noon -12:45 p.m.

Eve 6 weren’t even legal drinking age when they were presented with their first platinum record. Thus, life came hard and fast at the members of SoCal pop-punk trio, whose meteoric success in the late ‘90s and early millennium ingrained their anthemic radio hits into the fabric of the lives of a whole generation. Then, it all sort of ended…until now.
Reunited and re-energized, the band is returning with new album Speak In Code eight years after parting ways in 2004.  As the fourth full-length release for Eve 6 and their debut on new label Fearless Records, the album heralds not just a return to form for the threesome, but a new chapter in a book that had ended all too abruptly. “Overall I'm really proud of it, and I think we're doing right by our fans, who’ve waited a long time for us to make another record. I think we're giving them something they'll enjoy,” says singer/bassist Max Collins. “Once we got in the studio there was a lot of energy. There aren't any filler moments; each song has its purpose. This is the strongest collection of songs we've ever had on one record.”

Switchfoot - 1:15 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.

With its play on words, Vice Verses, the title of Switchfoot’s new album, coherently suggests the album’s theme: everything has two sides. “Every blessing comes with a set of curses,” singer-guitarist Jon Foreman sings on the title track, all the while wondering if “there’s a meaning to it all.” That theme runs through the album’s 12 songs and is even reflected in the album’s black and white cover.

The San Diego band first formed in 1996 when Foreman and his brother Tim put the group together. Butler says the band members were all friends from their days together at high school. At the time, the San Diego indie rock scene was thriving as bands such as Rocket from the Crypt and Drive Like Jehu had just started to gain national attention.Click here for more on SwitchfootSpin Doctors - 2:30pm-3:15pmThere was always something special, from the very first time we played together." Chris Barron says of the Spin Doctors' longstanding musical chemistry. "Even if we don't see each other or play together for a while. It's like riding a bicycle. A bicycle that makes loud, very beautiful music."

Third Eye Blind - 3:45 p.m. - 4:45 p.m.

Since 1997, San Francisco’s Third Eye Blind have recorded three best-selling albums and assembled one career retrospective. 3EB released ’Ursa Major’, their first studio collection in five years, in autumn 2009.

Led by Stephan Jenkins, 3EB won wide success during a tumultuous group of years when the major-label recording industry was finally losing its grip on an enterprise that for decades it had dominated with steely efficiency. Nothing could have made 3EB happier! 3EB, however, have experienced no comparable loss. Instead, they have gained artistic clarification -- and, surprisingly, a fan base larger than ever.
