Mash-Up Artists, DJ’s, Computer Musicians, Video Artists, call them what you will. They don’t care as long as it makes you want to party that much harder. Nicolas Fenmore, Dick Fink and Ethan Dawes collectively known as Super Mash Bros., grew up in Los Angeles. Somehow, the trio simultaneously manages to be full time college students as well as full time touring artists.

It’s the story of 3 kids with a passion for music and media. Dick: the software, tech, computer geek, semi-pro snowboarding, Pabst Blue-Ribbon drinking bro. Nick: the classically trained musician, stock trading, Johnny Walker Blue drinking bro. Along with new addition, Ethan Dawes: The digital pyrotechnician who incorporates viral content, projections, and the web world into their set. The 3 have established a strong friendship and musical synergy that gives way to their ass shaking, foot stomping mixtapes and performances.

The Super Mash Bros. have managed to take their career from the basement to the masses. Due to their very well received releases “Fuck Bitches. Get Euros.” and “All About The Scrillions” they’ve been able to take their party across the country…as long as they’re back in time for class.

The Far East Movement (also known as FM), hailing from the clubs and streets of Los Angeles, are one of the freshest crews representing the next generation of artists and “fly music.” Members Kev Nish, Prohgress, J-Splif, and DJ Virman have created a huge industry buzz with major companies, radio stations, and club djs worldwide through their international appeal, energetic live shows, and collaborations with top street wear companies. Finding their inspiration from the diverse city blocks and night club scene of Southern California, FM has built a strong internet fan base and a new lifestyle brand for the next generation of youth around the world. “The Far East Movement is the name for our music, lifestyle, and our party. For the diverse music fan that hits up 3 clubs in 1 night, tuned to the racing scene and fashion, and back on the computer religiously checking blogs and sites for anything related to that.”- FM

Warpaint (w/ Slang Chickens)
Date: Wednesday, April 21, 2010
Time: 8 p.m.
Location: Kerckhoff Grand Salon

**The first 12 people to whisper to a CEC staffer “I <3 Heath Ledger” win $26 paintball coupons!** (The coupon gets you admission, face mask/goggles, safety orientation/briefing and a paintball gun. All paintballs and air need to be purchased at the field. The coupons are good forever and work at any Giant Paintball Park.)

Warpaint is a jammy, psychedelic dreamy riffage indie all-girl quartet from Los Angeles. The group consists of Jenny Lee Lindberg (vocals / bass), Emily Kokal (vocals / guitar), Theresa Wayman (vocals / guitar) and Stella Mozgawa (drums).

The band weaves intricate guitar lines, hypnotic vocals, and driving post-punk rhythms into gorgeous, sprawling songs that skirt the line between the soundscapes of psychedelia and intimacy. Several people in the Hollywood crowd claim Warpaint as one of their favourites, including late actor Heath Ledger.

HAIM
Date: Thursday, March 4, 2010
Time: 8-10PM
Location: Kerckhoff Grand Salon

**Crater Farmer will be opening for HAIM!

They’re as good as Mean Mister Mustard, and I can’t fawn enough. These girls have a precocious talent for rock. Guitars hang off their shoulders as if to say, “We’re not anyone’s opening act.” Maybe they won’t be for long. “The Wire” is the pièce de résistance, a tough pop song fed by precision dynamics and driven entirely by Danielle’s upstrokes and guitar accents. I may as well talk about gourmet food. -LosAnjealous

Haim is an indie pop/rock band consisting of Danielle, Alana, and Este Haim, ages 18, 21, and 23. Check them out, they’re pretty sweet.
