PERFORMERS ON THE GENERATIONS STAGE

APARTMENT 92

www.myspace.com/apartment92

Apartment 92 started in July 2004 and cultivated a cult following. While plowing through the waters of rock, Apartment 92 managed to avoid their pitfalls, and the group steers deftly between the clashing rocks of Rock, the excessive punk and the sappy romanticism of incurable folk. They are rock, in the best sense of the term: solid as rock, quiet as a rock.

DIRTY BANDITS

We are bandits. Bored and with plenty of time to kill, the four of us decided to make a group, but since we lacked the physical attributes, we skipped our original idea of a dance group and instead formed a little band. We are from Los Angeles and loving it, and we will play for food. Just kidding. We just like to have fun. Have a good one!

THE COMMITTEE

www.myspace.com/thecommitteemusic

The Committee is comprised of emcees, musicians, and dj’s from Northern and Southern California brought together by our love for music and the community.
