LOTUShttp://www.lotusvibes.com: For those waiting for a concert experience with the dynamics of a rock band, the dance inducing rhythms of club music, and the sophistication of modern electronica, an unlikely musical alternative has arrived in the form of the band Lotus. Formed at a Mennonite college that had banned on-campus dancing as late as the 1980's, Lotus brings their club-worthy beats and rocking instrumental anthems to theaters throughout the country. The band’s new release, Escaping Sargasso Sea, is a double-disc live album that draws from two previous studio albums, Nomad and The Strength of Weak Ties, along with never before released material. This collection shows Lotus's ability to deconstruct, stretch, and rebuild their compositions spontaneously on stage.

C-mon & Kypskihttp://www.myspace.com/cmonandkypski: C-mon & Kypski is a group of 4 people. Years ago, C-mon and Kypski started composing and producing instrumental hip-hop tracks as a duo, and when Daniel and Jori came in they stuck with the name. By then, they'd become a 'band' instead of a duo.

In terms of musical originality, blending of styles, beats, production, composition and scratching these guys stand out like no other.

The bottomline of it all is instrumental hiphop, but from thereon the music goes all over the place, leaving their listeners rockin' hard, nodding their heads, dazed & confused, hyped up, mellow, freaking out, singing, doing the polka, going crazy, melodramatical, or maybe even crying...Guest vocalists may appear from time to time.

And then there is the liveshow. Of course C-mon & Kypski can bring their music to you LIVE in a totally unique way. No static laptop bullsh*! but live video scratching, live drums, keys, guitars, livesampling, boomin' beats, lights, fireworks, thunder & lightning.
