ZeroShift is a band located out of Northern Virginia comprised of four members: J.T. Gray on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Chris Baella on lead guitar, Zach Bonner on bass and backing vocals, and Jared Hornaday on drums Fusing elements of hard rock, alternative, and metal, ZeroShift has created a sound that is familiar yet uniquely their own. The stage presence that ZeroShift presents consistently at every show is one of the many assets of the band. As a vocalist, J.T. Gray has a way of reaching out to the audience at every show and making each person in attendance feel as though the show is personalized just for them. Their lyrics are full of hidden meanings and subtle references that allow the audience to apply them directly to their own lives, engaging them in a way that only a truly talented band can.

Cerca Trova is an original band from Chantilly Virginia. Cerca Trova has been together since October 2005. They have a very refreshing sound and incredible stage presence. When they first started to play together, they came to it for the music and nothing more. Ever since day one it's been a group effort to achieve a common goal, the goal to share their music with as many people as possible. Every time they step onto a stage they are reminded of that and strive to put on the best performance they can.

Cerca Trova consists of four members, Jordan Waddell (Lead Vocals), Angelo Soares (Guitar), Dave Wernli (Bass), and Josh Cockrell (Drums). Jordan Waddell has had a passion for singing for a very long time and lets everyone know ita s soon as he steps on stage. Some of his influences are: Brandon Boyd of Incubus, David Grohl of The Foo Fighters, Rivers Cuomo of Weezer, Anthony Kiedis, and Paul McCartney. Angelo Soares has been in many different bands and has a lot of experience. He also has a very unique style when it comes to playing and writing music. Some of his influences are: Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Val, Led Zeppelin, Fall of Troy, and B.B. King. Then there's Dave Wernli. Dave has a very unique style and has a broad range of influences some of which would be flea from Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Used, and Fall of Troy. Finally, there is Josh Cockrell. Josh has been drumming for most of his life and was the captain of the Chantilly Drumline his senior year of high school. Some of his influences are John Bonham, Buddy Rich, and Bill Bachman. This four piece is very cultured band and lets it be known through their music.

The eclectic repertoire of Cerca Trova has grown even greater lengths with personal friendships as time has passed. They really strive to take their art to the next level. All four members have a great passion that cannot be defined in words, and with this great passion comes even more determination to succeed. Cerca Trova definitely has something to say and wants it to be known. They are a great act to be seen and should not be missed.

The Sol Bandits have arrived for your listening, dancing, and rocking pleasure! With band members from two of the most powerful countries in world history, their rock and pop originals and covers will get the club moving and the drinks flowing.

Lead singer, Anastasia Shestakova, hails from a small city a night's train ride south of Moscow. Her band there rocked large outdoor concerts and was featured on local television and radio, but Anastasia is now ready to rock it stateside! With her smooth, rich voice, she's joined forces with an unstoppable band!

On lead guitar, is Lawrence Mack, born and raised in Washington, DC. His riffs will bring back memories of Hendrix that will get club-goers taking out their air guitars!

On the bass, groovin' all the way from Menomonee, Wisconsin, is Rockwell Flint. He followed the Grateful Dead around for a few years back in the day and his bass lines are sure to keep people boogeying down all night!

And rounding out the band on drums is Alexander Volkonsky. Growing up mostly in DC, with stints in Moscow, he's ready to lay down the rhythms that will have the ladies shaking all night long!

Get ready to rock and roll with The Sol Bandits!

With a gritty blues-rock sound and high-energy live show, Black Dog Prowl has built a reputation around Washington, DC as an up and coming force in the area's music scene. Gearing up for the release of their debut album in early 2010, BDP has created a buzz in the area resulting in packed venues and a quickly expanding, rabid fan-base.

Upon forming in 2009, this traditional 4-piece has been making noise in venues around the District, such as H Street's Rock & Roll Hotel and the Red & the Black, and will be taking their show on the road with the release of their debut album, 'Half Truths & Lies' this past May.
Josh Finver and Micah McCutchan bring unique and complimentary styles as they split the duties of guitar and vocals. Sky Allen provides a driving bass groove while everything is held in place by the animalistic and dynamic drumming of Enzo Ferroggiaro.
