Thursday May 15th front room

Nikki Shapiro presents:
"HAPPINESS IS A SAD SONG"

Are you hollow inside? Do you need a good cry? If the answer is yes, or even no, than you'll have a spended time at this event.

Nikki Shapiro hashand-selected 4 of the most brutally honest bands out there today. No gimmicks here. Just pure unadulterated purity. You'll remember how it felt to be "in love" or how it felt when your favorite marble fell in the sewer. All those forgotten foolish feelings will come back to you.

First on is Callers. Two words: stark beauty. This band is like looking at sunset with your ears. Not to be missed.

Then Jessica Ann (pictured) hits the stage with her special blend of tender love songs. You'll wish she would sing you to sleep every night. And for the right price she might. http://myspace.com/jessicaannboykin

Next up is a crowd favorite: Viva Nada
This experimental band is mental, unpredictable and dangerous. Something will get broken in the name of art. Put on your thinking caps, sheep!

Closing the night is Young Adults formally Nikki Shapiro. Debut show for this new line-up.
