2011 Band – Nova City

Nova City

Pop, Punk, Rock, Alternative, Metal

Nova City has a lot of goals and a lot off drive. The band is centered around two lead singers, Ashley Lux and Tory Daral. The band combines a wide range of musical influences to make something that appeals both to the technical musician and the typical radio listener. We’re keeping ourselves diverse enough to play 30min to 1hr openings, full 3 hour sets, and 30min to 1hr original sets. We’re also trying to keep our cover music diverse enough to fit with a variety of different crowds including pop, pop rock, metal, and classic rock interests.

2011 Artist: Pawn Shop

Pawn Shop

Pawn Shop pays tribute to the band Sublime, who in the early nineties, recorded a unique twist of reggae/punk/ska/hip hop that grabbed people and made some deeply devoted fans, including Pawn Shop members.  The band presents the music of Sublime  – not only the mainstream hits but the favorites of hardcore fans as well, to share the love, anger, and energy with more people.    Pawn Shop also can’t sit still and has been expanding their horizons to embrace more music that you may recognize but might be surprised to hear, including old reggae, obscure alt-rock, new country, and unexpected pop hits.  But why stop there?  Do you want to hear a Beatles tune the same old way, or played in a whole new genre?  Pawn Shop challenges you to listen to something different.  Push!
