CARFAX ABBEY: If horror movies have taught us anything, it's that if something looks dead, one shouldn't assume it's safe - or even that it's really dead. So it is with Carfax Abbey. They've been hibernating for a bit, they admit, but they're far from dead. Byron, Chris, Gary and Noel are already rehearsing for this long-overdue performance, and you don't want to miss the explosion of energy they'll be unleashing for this show. If you're not familiar with their blend of hard rock and industrial with horror influences, check out their MySpace page. If you already know the band, then you know this show is a must-see.
STAGE TIME - 9:45pm

PROJECT PITCHFORK: If you've ever been to a Ball before, you've probably danced to a Project Pitchfork song. They have a stream of club hits that goes back over a decade or two (check out videos for Timekiller, Steelrose and Carnival - just to pick three) and their newest album proves that they are not slowing down anytime soon. We could mention all of the different styles they combine in their music, but it would be a long list. It's been over a decade since they've performed in the USA, and we're opening an hour early so that they can play a full 90 minute show that is certain to include many of your favorites.
