Ana Sia’s love of electronic music combined with an innate understanding of the value of dance to the human soul collectively fuse to create unforgettable sets of experience, whether she is slamming spots in her hometown of San Francisco or taking her turn in the forests of music festivals around the country.
Ana’s energetic delivery of brain-fazing beats has earned the Princess Slay-ah an important spot in pioneering the West Coast future sound movement. She will take you on a musical expedition into the deepest reaches of your brain, as she masterfully blends a wide spectrum of rhythms with a beautiful fluidity and a delicate sensibility, giving the dance floor a delightful ride that ends at the corner of bliss and oblivion. Uniting the best elements of dirty dubstep, grimy glitch, and her personalized blend of “global slut psy-hop,” Ana Sia’s sets confirm crunk status of all who dare enter into her seamless world of sound.
The Polish Ambassador (David Sugalski, aka Ample Mammal), is a Oakland, CA, electronic artist, who churns-out beats, blips & blops, at a feverish pace. His latest releases were a double album, First Words, and a pay what you want remix EP, Homeboys in Outerspace – Episode 1. Previously, he’s released a free album of remixes, Free Range Electro Remixes For That Ass (2010), Diplomatic Immunity (early 2007), The Phantasmal Farm (late 2007) & I Found Him. Now I Must Kill Him. (late 2008). All three have received favorable press & consistent airplay, on college / internet radio. His only official music video, for Earth Versus The World, was featured on the front page of Myspace, iFilm & other video streaming sites.
Claiming to be Poland’s ambassador to The Universe, Sugalski weaves together a collage of 80’s dance music, video game anthems & dreamy synth-scapes, to create miniature musical stories.

Mountain Standard Time + Elemental Shakedown
As a bluegrass band that’s anything but traditional, Mountain Standard Time follows in the footsteps of such Colorado greats as The String Cheese Incident and Leftover Salmon. While leading acoustically with guitar, mandolin, and banjo, MST brands its own style, boasting a big, full-band sound with saxophone, electric bass, drums, and electric effects.
The members of Mountain Standard Time hail from all over the country, yet their musical paths crossed in Nederland – a small, Colorado mountain town steeped in bluegrass music. Whether you chalk it up to fate or coincidence, music goers everywhere are coming together to enjoy the “explosive bluegrass” that these six friends and musicians have come to create. MST has performed all over Colorado and across the country, with appearances at Wakarusa Music Festival, 10,000 Lakes Festival, Summer Camp Music Festival, and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival contest finals, among other events.
Mountain Standard Time’s roots stem from late night “picks” among the bluegrass faithful, making music lovers dance from mountain towns to backwoods campfires. Rich lyrics, original melodies, vocal harmonies and driving backbeats have been moving fans across the country, while the band’s unique charisma has been winning hearts.

Lyrics Born w/ Skins & Needles plus Nato Caliph!
Alternative / Funk / Hip-Hop
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 21+ / $15 >> Buy Tickets
One of the most critically acclaimed and best-selling independent hip-hop artists of this era, Lyrics Born is not the type to sit still. While recording his fourth solo album, completing new projects, and making decisions at Quannum Projects, he still averaged over 150 sold-out shows a year. He’s a whirlwind.
His 1997 debut with Lateef the Truth Speaker, Latyrx, sold 100,000 for his influential indie label, SoleSides. When the label was reborn as Quannum Projects, the album he helmed, Quannum Spectrum, yielded him an international hit with “I Changed My Mind”. His day-in-the-struggle concept album, Later That Day, featured “Callin’ Out”, a monster crossover that lodged at #1 at the influential rock station LIVE 105 for 5 weeks. Same !@#$ Different Day collected new tracks and alternate versions of tracks and became Quannum Projects’ fastest seller. Overnite Encore captured the excitement and intensity of LB’s live show, and produced another chart-topper, “I’m Just Raw”.
Lyrics Born has been one of the most licensed hip-hop artists in the world, with placements on Diet Coke, Motorola, Nokia, and Vans commercials, TV shows such as “Entourage”, “Six Feet Under”, “What About Brian”, “Gossip Girl”, and “Gilmore Girls”, films like Michael Mann’s “Collateral” and Justin Lin’s “Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift”, and videogames by EA Sports, 2K Sports and Atari. He has had sponsorships with Puma, Adidas, Diesel, and Evisu.
Skins & Needles is a duo made up of Dj Zeph (Om Records, Oakland Faders) and Max MacVeety (drummer for Crown City Rockers). Both staples in the Bay Area Hip-Hop scene, this duo joins forces to bring a club-party vibe with the use of live drums, breaks, scratching + mixing that keeps the dance floor moving. With live drums and Dj Zeph’s musicality, Skins & Needles catches the attention of musicians, producers, and Hip-Hop heads as well as people just wanting to party and dance.
Nato Caliph is an underground rapper from St. Louis, MO, with a socially conscious, thought-provoking style in stark contrast to better-known St. Louis rappers Nelly and the St. Lunatics. Born Shedrick Remon Kelley on August 9, 1980, he made his recording debut in 2004 with the self-released album 1080. A few years later, in affiliation with F5 Records, he released his second album, Cipher Inside (2007), which found a larger, broader audience than his debut. He’s been a local force in Hip-Hop ever since.
