It's a show of people playing solo. Who needs a band? They do it all! You get:

Armed with his giant super guitar, Brian Kenney Fresno is the ultimate solo rock act and sings modern tales, urban legends, and epics of the absurd in a sing-along format, mostly about FRESNO, and whenever he says Fresno, we all say "WHOOOO(!)","FRESNO(!)", etc. and eat the raisins from the Holy Chalice of Fresno in a group experience.

Brooklyn-based, relentlessly touring grind violinist Joey Molinaro has become a widely recognized anomaly in the DIY music scene. His sets often include seventeen rapid-fire Discordance Axis-inspired songs, epic acoustic black metal, overdriven poetry, video projections, and no-wave chamber-grind electronics. “I play really fast riffs on violin, stomp my feet, and scream.”

Amy X Neuburg is a one-girl gala of loops and layers and hittings of electronic things. Her ‘avant-cabaret” songs are funny and full-bodied and sometimes sad disguised as funny, crossing genres like nobody’s business, whispered and bellowed using every part of her 4-octave vocal range. A newspaper in New York sez she's “a whole chorus, an opera, a circus act. More musical than Laurie Anderson and a hell of a lot cheerier than Diamanda Galas.”

Moe! Staiano is well known for his theatrical percussion and multi-instrument performances. He was a former member of Mute Socialite, Vacuum Tree Head and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, and has performed with CHEER-ACCIDENT, Z'ev, Nurse with Wound, William Hooker, Michael Evans, Tom Nunn, Thomas Dimuzio, Ron Anderson, Gino Robair, and others. His current band is Oakland's post-punk band, Surplus 1980. Solo performances can include a looped guitar, percussive mayhem, and the breaking of old LPs over his head, making a noisy, no-wave performance of one, which can be anything out of the unexpected. Don't misunderestimate him.
