Main Stage at the post-event Expo
presented by KFOG 104.5 FM:

 

THE HEAVENLY STATES

 

The Heavenly States, the rock-indie-garage outfit dubbed "Oakland’s answer to the Clash" following their 2005 trip to Libya, came about when bandleader Ted Nesseth met drummer Jeremy Gagon through a roommate service.  Nesseth is a self-taught lefty who plays guitar upside-down and backwards with thick unwound strings which make for a unique sound and voicing. Genevieve Gagon, co-lyricist, brings string and key arrangements to the mix.  Mark Christianson has played bass for the band since 2007.

The band has quietly released several critically acclaimed records, Delayer (2008), Black Comet (2005), King Epiphany (2003), The Heavenly States s/t (2003), and a collectible 7-inch single with Coldplay and The Postal Service.

The Butlers

"Long-theorized brainchild of Billy, former Jetboy & American Heartbreak guitarist, The Butlers are a real no B.S. rock band out for nothing more nor less than a good time. And some booze. With members of Exodus, Ruffians and Immigrant on various instruments."
