Description: Shanghai Thrills is a four-piece rock band from Boston. The group's genre-bending alternative rock earned a headlining slot on the 2007 Warped Tour. Its live show has drawn comparisons to such bands as Foo Fighters and Spoon.
The ACB’s formed in 2006 in Kansas City, where they were all born and raised and where they continue to live. Mostly they're influenced by artists who know how to write bona fide HITS. Michael Jackson is a big one. Also early Beatles. Maybe a little Matthew Sweet. The ACB’s are also influenced by an inability to interact comfortably with the opposite sex, fear of hair loss, male friendships that have been described by outsiders as bordering on homoerotic, and the lingering effects of their deeply Midwestern religious upbringing.
Richard Gintowt and Michelle Sanders of OK Jones set the stage with an acoustic set.
