Attaloss - (Set time: 10:15 PM)
Los Angeles modern rockers Attaloss have returned home after a 6 month national tour promoting their recent album release via Rock Ridge Music/Warner Music Group/ADA. The self-titled album was received extremely well by fans and critics alike, and hit 5 charts on Billboard including #1 Alternative New Artist and #5 Heatseekers. Their new record showcases two sides of the band, the high energy blown out rock side and the stripped down acoustic side. Although the band name is a play on a common phrase many of us hear every day, there is an underlying message of optimism: "Even in these tough times, we must have hope for a better tomorrow," states singer Danny Aguiluz.
Danny, Chris, Lorenzo, and Dakota all left their respective hometowns and moved to Los Angeles to chase their rock and roll dream. Once they decided to join forces together they began the arduous task of trying to come up with a band name. After kicking around hundreds of potential names, they got news that their rehearsal studio was broken into and all their music gear was stolen. "Getting news like that was such a kick in the gut that we literally were at a loss for words. We realized in that moment that we had our band name," said guitarist Chris Johansen who immediately began tracking down the thief. After an exhaustive search, along with Chris’ help, police apprehended the suspect a couple of months later and the band’s gear was recovered mostly intact. Instruments in hand, they recorded the first five songs on the album in early 2011 and set out on tour around the country playing shows with such acts as Neon Trees, Smashing Pumpkins, and Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy. Realizing they weren’t quite capturing their recorded sound live, they added guitarist/vocalist Matt Geronimo and headed back into the studio to record the acoustic half of the record as a five piece.
The band is excited to get back home and begin recording their follow up album. “This journey has been a real roller coaster ride but we have come out of it stronger than ever," continues Danny. "Hopefully that message comes across and inspires people to continue chasing their dreams. Today is an Open Door."

Armada - (Set time: 8:45 PM)
Armada are a powerful three piece cranking out smart, soulful indie rock from the heart of Los Angeles. Bits of Wilco, Spoon, Radiohead, QOTSA, and the Black Keys can be heard in the hush and shout that defines one of LA's most exciting new bands.
Ocelot Robot - (Set time: 9:30 PM)
Ocelot Robot is a call to action – Drawn from the four corners of the country and forged in the white-hot furnace of West Los Angeles, Ocelot Robot sonically and visually captures the spirit of five friends enjoying the hell out of making loud, catchy, and unapologetic music together. The addictive sound of the band's debut album Ready to Go promises to bring their distinct brand of rowdy rock to audiences everywhere.
Colliderscopes - (Set time: 11:15 PM)
Colliderscopes is a new original music project based in Los Angeles. The band started in the summer of 2010 playing under the name “Red Letter Day”. In late 2010, vocalist Tom joined the band of what would ultimately become, Colliderscopes. Our collective influences are various within the group, yielding a very original sound.
