• Seattle's techno-pop masters coming to campus

  Is this band really from Seattle? They aren’t grungy, they aren’t emo and they aren’t hippies.
  The United State of Electronica, aka U.S.E, is a pulsating, seven-member disco machine, spewing out booty-shaking beats and euphoric rhythms which, they claim, single-handedly reminded the Northwest what dance was.

• California band may 'Brighten' up rainy city

• Bottlenose Koffins bring surf to Seattle

  Poised to surf the wake of the drained fountain in Seattle University’s quad, The Bottlenose Koffins are bringing their grainy, high-energy brand of garage rock to Quadstock ’08 with full force. A four piece band of fake-mustache clad surf punks, The Koffins are a band on a mission.
  According to Les Moore, The Koffins’ lead guitarist, the band has only one goal for Quadstock this year.
  

• B.O.B. winner to play

  What do you get when you combine deep, gritty vocals, fierce guitar rifts and strong, classic-rock style drumming? You get pure, organic rock. You get Seattle University’s very own Revelators: the two-piece band that knocked this year’s Battle of the Bands off its feet with their commanding presence and raw rockability.
