::BANDS
Prometheus Burning (PA)

http://www.facebook.com/prometheusburning
Formed in 2001, Prometheus Burning is a renegade Electro duo from Pittsburgh PA. With visual artist Nikki Telladictorian delivering lyrical lashings on the frontlines while producer Greg VanEck mans the electro battlestation of drum machines, modular synths, and circuit bent devices, Prometheus Burning attacks you with a full scale sonic assault upon the senses. Operating from the fringe and defying definition, they forge an aggressive and eccentric sound that often blurs the line between electronic genres, from dancefloor killing beats to complex chaotic noise.
Cassandra Syndrome (MD)

Hailing from Maryland, female-fronted operatic metal band Cassandra Syndrome is Irene Jericho on vocals, Chris Kackley on guitar, Joe Cariola on bass, Jen Tonon on rhythm guitar and Jay Jericho on drums. This passionate, engaging act strikes the perfect balance between playful and sinister. Cassandra Syndrome is an intimate theater of darkness and seduction.
(More TBA! Stay Tuned!)

:::LOCATION
The Loft Warehouse @ 411 New York Ave, NE DC 20002
:::DETAILED DIRECTIONS
http://www.entrenousqueen.com/BOUNDLocationLoft
The SMB space is privately owned - The Loft Warehouse. The location is simple to get to from the DC Metro Area, including points North and South of DC - as New York Avenue (Route 50) affords easy access from 95 and the
Baltimore-Washington Parkway.
The venue is located in the Warehouse / Market District. You will not see
homes, other clubs, restaurants, etc. Please don't be alarmed - you're in the
correct place. 411 New York Avenue, NE is located on the corner of New York
Avenue and Penn Street, a huge Warehouse building which faces directly on to New York Avenue. The exact entrance to The Loft Warehouse is at the intersection of Penn and 4th Street, NE - approximately 100 feet from the New York Avenue entrance.
:::PARKING
In addition to the FREE parking (60 spots) directly surrounding The Loft
Warehouse, there is also FREE parking directly across the street at The PNC Bank
(which is closed down) that holds a few hundred vehicles. There is a security
guard posted outside of the Motel 6 next door that keeps an eye on The Loft
Warehouse parking. We will of course have additional event security in the
area. Please keep noise to a minimum when entering and leaving the party.
:::METRO
The Closest Metro Stop is 'New York Avenue' on The Red Line. You Can Take
a Taxi from There to The Loft Warehouse if you Wish.
:::SMOKING
The Loft Warehouse is a Smoke-Free Environment. You May Smoke Outside.
