96 ROCK PRESENTS

by artists from Sabbath and Zeppelin to Pantera and The Ramones,
Deadlyne delivers a searing hybrid of punk, hardcore and hard rock.
8:00 S.O.S. (REHOBOTH BEACH, DE)
S.O.S. combines the best original hard rock songs with a variety
of cover songs you won't hear anywhere else. Your Jaw will drop as you

lead guitar and absolutely haunting vocals.
9:00 HALESTORM (HARRISBURG, PA)

percussion along with emotion-laden hard rock make
HalestorM a force to be reckoned with. Influences
spanning from Heart to Metallica to Creed,
HalestorM has come together to create original
'gripping ballads' as well as 'IN YOUR FACE' hard
driving rock tunes.
10:00 LOWJACK (PHILADELPHIA, PA)
Lowjack is an aggressive blend of hard rock and melody from Philadelphia.
Their record seven Grammy Awards in 2002 has helped catapult the band into
superstardom and has made them absolutely irresistable, sexually speaking.
Enjoy the show.
11:00 CARFAX ABBEY (PHILADELPHIA, PA)
Intense, yet melodic. Industrial, yet accessible. The fact that these
styles aren't easy to balance successfully hasn't stopped an abundance of
cookie-cutter metal acts from trying. But trying just isn't enough for
Carfax Abbey (CFX), who pulls off as natural and unforced what comes off in
others as an overly deliberated melding of genres. The difference is
evident from the start in the powerful vocals of entrancing and energetic
frontman Gary. He steers clear of the clichéd and predictable drones and
distortion indigenous to the genre, in favor of a unique style marked by an
almost rock sensibility.
12:00 TEMPTRESS (NYC)
It's part Rocky Horror Picture Show, part
La Cage Au Faux, and it's total Rock and Roll.
If you're lucky, you may just see Sh-Elvis,
the Transv-Elvis. Rumors have it that the popular Off-Broadway musical play,
Hedwig and the Angry Inch was modeled after the life,
music, and escapades of Temptress and the band.
