King Dice
Robinson Treacher - (Set time: 8:00 PM)
Robinson Treacher
If entertainment can be defined as an agreeable occupation of the mind, then Robinson Treacher has found a way to encompass this in every aspect of his contribution to music-kind. Whether playing the role as front man to the soul-rock infused Delaware Hudson, as co-collaborator to the Alt-Country based Tensleep, or as a solo singer/songwriter, Treacher seems to drain himself of energy in the ceaseless pursuit of portraying moments of musical passion. This passion is evident in every attempt he makes to involve us, the listeners, in the spiritual orchestrations of emotion that have been meticulously tempered into songs.
Just like the long list of New York City artists before him, Robinson feeds off the honest grit found among the “huddled masses”…coupling the blatantly obvious (to a New Yorker at least) with the deeply personal. Chameleon-like in his approach to his songwriting, he refuses to be pigeonholed into one particular genre. Believing that each song is forged from its own unique terrain, he takes great pains in choosing the vehicle by which passengers might best weather the bumps, potholes, and blind curves found between the first note and the last. Admittedly susceptible to the affectations of the senses himself, he asks his audience to participate emotionally as well as physically in a “whole self” conceptual challenge, a 360 degree soul search comprised of the most joyous elation to the bitterest of pains.
With the emergence of a true “world” community of listeners and the dissolving of the old guard record company elitists, Treacher’s eclectic songwriting can be allowed to burgeon…flowing freely among the throngs of liberated music enthusiasts…authentic and unabashed in its purity and form.
There are no canvases on which to paint. There are no seminars from which to glean wisdom. There is only the note. Alone, it is just that; strung together, it is a road on which to experience life. Treacher is building this road for himself, but would be the first to admit that the companions define the journey.
Verse The Empire - (Set time: 12:00 AM)
Verse The Empire
Verse The Empire is a Long Island based hard rock band, formed in the spring of 2008. After playing for a few years in another band, Matt and Nick left in early 2008 in search of creating a musical vision with others who shared the same talent and taste. They came across Mina, and Verse The Empire was born. Upon meeting, the three started working upon creating rock that represented each member’s unique styles, and creating a new musical fusion. Currently, Verse The Empire is playing on Long Island, and in New York City. They've recorded an EP, and a full length album is in the works.
Two Pump Chump - (Set time: 1:00 AM)
Two Pump Chump
Two Pump Chump started from 3 lesbians and a can of tuna-fish at a Billy Graham Crusade… Or so the legend goes.

The truth is, the seeds for the band were planted in 1999 when Scott Cook (vocals) and Brad Mattingly (lead guitar) started a crusade to form the greatest party-rock band the world had ever known. After several lineup changes and copious hangovers, in 2003, the current roster was settled and the great girlfriend stealing journey was embarked upon. It was Two Pump Chump and it was good. Armed with attitude, instruments and plenty of beer the band brought their own brand of fun rock-n-roll to the masses. Rounding out the lineup are Traz (rythm/lead guitar), Sean Burton (drums) and Dave Bennett (bass).

Two Pump Chump is currently a regular featured guest on the radio program The Local Music Hour with Mudd on WTFX 93.1FM in their hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. They can also be heard worldwide on the internet radio program The Den of Sin with Fender on crossfire-radio.com. The band has been featured, on numerous occasions, in Louisville newspapers Velocity Weekly as well as gracing the cover of Louisville Music News. 2009 marked the release of the bands highly anticipated third album "Get You Some", produced by their manager, respected music industry veteran Niq Wittig. Joining the Chumps at the start of 2008, having worked with a number of legendary rock and metal acts, Niq is a welcome addition to the team.

"What if Poison, Guns 'N Roses and Lynrd Skynyrd got together today, got REALLY drunk and decided to make a record. That's a little taste of what 'Get You Some' is like." -Niq Wittig (Manager/Producer)

TPC, while never taking themselves too seriously, has become a seasoned Louisville-based rock band, continually adding to a set list currently featuring more than 40 originals as well as numerous covers. Their live shows have made them infamous in the local scene and they have generated an impressive fan base stretching from the states all the way to the United Kingdom. Their hard rockin', high energy (and sometimes controversial) performances have made them a fan favorite at many venues in the U.S.. The Chumps have rocked the stage with popular 80's bands including Skid Row, Quiet Riot and Krokus and have also had the privilege of sharing the stage with modern rock acts such as 3 Days Grace, Hawthorne Heights and Black Stone Cherry just to name a few. Able to draw an ever-growing crowd, Two Pump Chump is going strong and shows no signs fading.

With the help of their newfound representation, Two Pump Chump is running like a well oiled machine and with their newest album “Get You Some”, The Chumps have their sights set on breaking new ground for themselves musically as well as professionally. When asked the secret to the band, they would probably simply respond, "beer". So, have a drink and enjoy the show. This Chump's for you!
Deafened by Love
Deafened by Love
"Deafened By Love's self-titled album is a definitive, lyrical telling of love gone wrong. Heavy guitar riffs lay down potent melodies which portray the roller-coaster of love and loss.

The album puts a whisky in your hand, and sits you alone at some forsaken bar as the serious tone of it all is cemented with lyrics and sound."
-Rachael Perrell, The Levee Breaking

"It's been a long time since I've been lured and captured into music in this form; feeling as though I was the music. I categorize this cd under 'Music that will never die.'"
