American Gun is a band that over the past five years has racked up a years' worth of shows throughout the Southeast, traveling to any dive that will have them and broadcasting their own unique spin on rock and roll while attempting to (and most often succeeding) connect with fans on a personal level.

THE REASON YOU'RE LISTENING
w/ Tropic of Cancer Band

May 20, 2010 / 6:30pm

The Reason You're Listening band composed of six critical different pieces. Up front you have an acoustic-rock smokey sounding lead singing guitarist, matched with the vocals of tongue twisting emcee. Stage left you will get the mellow vocals of the other singing electric-guitarist. The backbone of the bands music is held together by a hard-rocking metal developed bassist and drumming of a percussionist who even when during the most complex of solo stays in the pocket. Instrumentally finally, the piercing sounds of samples and scratching from the DJ is what gives the band a very distinct unique sound. The bands intense focus on clever creative song writing is what anchors and glues this complex puzzle of pieces together.


VILLANOVA
w/ The Plain Field Project

May 27, 2010 / 6:30 - 10:00

Get ready to get down with one of Columbia's hottest bands around. Villanova is a crossroads of rock riffs, hip-hop beats and soulful vocals that blend together into a purely unique sound that they can safely call their own. Villanova's lead singer and guitarist Brian Conner, has embedded himself perfectly with bassist Bobby Dredd, drummer Jeremy Finesse Roberson and DJ Able One to create a distinctive mix of danceable jams, hard driving rock songs and soulfully written ballads. Though Villanova's songs are radio friendly, each song is meant to be rocked out live and that is exactly what Villanova will do, rock!
