Matrixx of Domination - 7:45pm

Creative, bold, sassy, sexy, fun, what you wanted to say and what you hoped you didn’t. Matrixx of Domination is unlike anything you have set your ears on, but once you listen, you will never want to hear the “same ole same ole” again. Not what you have heard. Not what you have seen and not what you think they should be. These sisters undoubtedly live up to the name, Matrixx of Domination.

 
   
 
 

LaZae - 8:30pm

LaZae is brutally honest. She’s a singer/songwriter who holds nothing back in her music. It’s all about telling a story, the whole story, honest and truthfully. That’s why she has no problem painting herself as the “bad guy” in her song “The Antagonist” or as delusional and tortured in her song “Girl, Interrupted” off of her debut EP due out in summer 2011 which will be followed up by a full length album due in 2012. With LaZae’s music, you get a full spectrum of topics from love to saving the planet. And in her debut EP, the listener gets just that.

Amy Arena - 7:45pm

Most of us wait to be rescued, but Amy Arena, through blood, sweat, tears, delivers an independent LP, Liquid Reality. The girl with the rebellious tongue ran away from label abuse and soothed herself in the subversive world of San Francisco techno clubs. Known for an undeniable presence, Arena found further expression on the Motor City stage after exploring the underground since her self-titled, debut album. Building her chops in the theater, Arena took her talents to Detroit and San Francisco and off-Broadway, singing with artists Ayro (Jeremy Ellis) and Daz-i-kue. Now, performing Goth to Hip Hop, Arena's wide-ranging experience is showcased in her latest release. .

Outliar - 9:15pm

Outliar is a band of five friends from the San Fernando Valley in Southern California and was founded in 2009, marked by the release of their first six-song EP, and since then have made a full length CD titled "In The Open". The five members of Outliar all grew up within a few miles of each other and came together through a shared desire to make sense of the cultural mish-mash of the Valley through music. As a result, Outliar's sound is eclectic, bringing older themes from Motown, R&B, and Jazz into close contact with more modern rock, latin, and hip-hop styles.

Scott James - 8:30pm

You turn the volume up, and immediately your head bobs to a thumping bass line as a guitar riff soars and an edgy voice belts out soulful lyrics. This sounds like the workings of any dozen contemporary artists, right? So what, you may ask, is so special about Scott James? First off, he’s not just nailing the vocals, he’s composing the music, writing the lyrics, and jamming the guitar solos, too. And more amazing than that, he’s only fifteen
