Stage A (Main Stage)

7:00 THE MAYAN FACTOR (BALTIMORE, MD)
"The Mayan Factor are a new band out of the Baltimore area. They are an independent band, but don't be fooled. They are about 10 to 20 times better than such regurgitated bullshit like Linkin Park. The Mayan Factor blend incredibly melodic acoustic guitars with spacy electric guitar techniques, atmospheric percussion (kongas and drums), bass that you can feel thumping in your chest and vocals reminiscent of many bands." —AmericasBestRock.com

8:20 WAYNE SUPERGENIUS (YORK, PA)
A classic "Son Volt" style with brilliant lyrics, harmonies, big musicianship, a big-piece sound and hit-ready songs. Reminiscent of early Wilco, the Jayhawks and a little Flying Burrito Brothers. Wayne Supergenius writes the old fashioned kind of song.

The Star Spangles played Little Stephen's Underground Garage Festival along with Iggy Pop, the Dictators, New York Dolls and the Strokes.

12:20 JOSH TODD (LOS ANGELES, CA)
Josh Todd is the former vocalist of Buckcherry, the band who once proclaimed themselves as "the saviors of rock and roll", then disbanded after two albums. So much for salvation, huh? Todd, however, has picked up the torch that his former band dropped, taking up from where they left off. He's put together a new band of his own. As far as the music Todd and his new band make goes, it's still very much straight up rock and roll. Todd has brought in the Buckcherry sound, which of course means there's also a lot of Aerosmith influence, but Josh Todd is not photocopying the Buckcherry sound. They've expanded the style and added more elements to their music.

Stage B (Side Stage)
