Marco Argiro – Marco Argiro has made a name for himself internationally in the ultra melodic power-pop band Le Mood, as well as the transatlantic anthemic rock group The Killing Floor.

Marco splits his time between his new project Marco With Love, Le Mood and the Killing Floor. Argiro also started his own record label, Outright Rock Records.

Daniel Stampfel - In the past two decades, Daniel Stampfel has played in ska, power-pop, garage rock and glam rock bands. Stampfel first left a mark on the music world with The Skastafarians, who won Late Night with Conan O’Brien’s 10th Annual College Band Search. Stampfel then assembled The Inevitable Breakups in 1999 who became beloved sons of NYC with their catchy, crunchy power-pop. His current band, At The Moment, performs stripped-down, heartfelt pop-rock set aloft by Stampfel’s unique voice. Stampfel is also a current member of Michael T and the Vanities.

“…what Stampfel is doing is putting his own stamp on an oldschool style, tuneful verses working their way up to irresistibly catchy resolutions when the choruses hit.” – New York Music Daily

“…Argiro is ever the quintessential frontman,” – The Broward Palm Beach New Times

9pm- Bud Collins Trio
Genre: original pop
For fans of: XTC, Todd Rundgren, Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, Elvis Costello

Bud Collins Trio was formed in CT in 1987, appeared on MTV basement tapes, and toured extensively throughout the US during the 90’s, playing with the likes of Bob Mould, Blues Traveler, and Maceo Parker. Reformed in 2009 after a 10 year hiatus. BC3 write and play a kind of strangely familiar sounding original melodic pop, with shades of jazz and psychedelia, and attention twisting lyrics.

“Jazz, funk, psychedelia and rock labels all apply. However, this isn’t just another band that grabs haphazardly at musical styles. There’s a sense of quality and sincerity in the music” – The Reconnoiter, Youngstown Ohio

“Beautifully produced and amazingly lush and rich crossoverfusion music. Titles and lyrics tend to be playful, and the whole has an innovative feel that is seldom equaled in self-produced music.” – Factsheet Five

Their music is catchy but complex, different but highly accessible, with a perfect balance of depth and humor.

11pm- Institute of Flyer Learning
Genre: hip-hop/neo-soul/electronic
For fans of: Little Dragon, Janelle Monae, Theophilus London, Outkast, The Flaming Lips

The Institute of Flyer Learning is a Brooklyn based hip-hop/neo-soul band composed of a singer, a rapper, and a rhythm section. Human vocals mesh with electronic beats, pulsing bass lines, and guitar arpeggios pouring out like sunshine. Flyer Learning performs original songs drawing upon eclectic influences ranging from old school hip-hop and electronic music to art-rock and funk. For good measure, they also perform some retro-future/re-mixed covers of classic hip-hop/soul songs, paying homage to the grand masters that came before, rocked the mic, dropped the mic, and inspired them to get up and write.
