Hookah Stew

9 p.m. - 1 a.m.  Genre: Rock

Known for their wide musical range and frenetic performances, Hookah Stew has become a well known buzz band on the West Coast music scene. The Portland, Oregon trio reunited after a long hiatus in 2007, and within months were on the road with a mission to rock every city in their path. A 5 song E.P. (Hits from the Hookah) was released shortly thereafter. The first track "Lil Miss RocknRoll", was picked up by Fox Sports, and "Season for Leavin'" has been licensed for an upcoming independent film.  Hookah Stew has played 200 shows in the last year, and will be on tour again this Summer/Fall in support of their latest single/videoRollerGirl, which is being heard on West Coast radio from Alaska to San Diego. The tune has also peaked the interest of roller derby leagues across the country who skate to the song during bouts. Between tour dates, the band is discussing the future with independent labels, while recording tracks for a new album with Producer, Tony Esperance (Papa Roach, Gluttn).  Please visit www.hookahstew.com for more band information and updates.

Comedy Night - Two Shows 7 & 9 pm

Chris Simpson with Justin Rivera

 Chris Simpson began his career in 1993 at an open mike at the Laffstop in Montclair, California. His first performance was on a dare, and he was awful! He vowed never to do it again. Three months later he landed a part-time job as a cook at The Laffstop, where he would sneak off to the showroom to see what the other comedians did, and began to learn from watching. The fire was rekindled and he began to win open mike competitions and opening for such greats as John Fox, Rocky LaPort, and Shirley Hemphill. Chris’s material is about life experiences, from alcohol and drugs to marriage and kids. He normally walks the edge on being blue, but he is also a motivational speaker at schools, which has taught him to also be clean and funny.  Chris has since opened for George Lopez, Damon Wayons, Jeff Garcia, and Ralphie May. He has performed for the U.S States military, in front of 5000 troops. He has won numerous competitions and has performed at every major college and comedy club in So Cal, and as of last year he has begun headlining.

Toyz

 9 p.m. - 1 a.m.  Genre: Rock

Since their first meeting in elementary school in Manchester, England, the 4-members of Toyz knew they were destined for Rock-N-Roll infamy. They first broke into the rock scene in 1991 with their debut album, "Toejam--Something Smells Like Little Feet." The album was a minor success, selling 4 copies to the bass player's mother. After a brief hiatus, the band released their latest album Llamapalooza Live 2007, which layers Kevin Mason's melodramatic vocal work with bassist Alex Arguinzoni's astute, pro-llama political commentary, along with Vinnie Cavarra's crowd-pleasing, knee-pad driven, amp turned to 11 power chords, and drummer Bob Richards' sexy and scintillating back-up vocals, which unfortunately are never heard because he doesn't own a microphone. Even so, they evoke a genre that literally defines, and yet defies, album rock. Chock full of fist-pumping testosterone, Toyz will remain a rigid, unwavering pillar in the rock-n-roll landscape for years to come. Check out the band before they go on their "Women’s Correctional Facilities Tour 2011".

Erik Clark with Heather Turman

Some people deal with life by paying someone else for counseling, comedian E. Clark tells jokes for his own personal therapy. As a young boy, Erik was always known for telling it like it was by using comedy for his own personal release. Although Erik was first influenced by comedians Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy, reading Dick Gregory’s autobiography provided him the necessary motivation to pursue his comedic dreams.   Since sharpening his comedic talents, Erik has opened for Dave Chapelle, one of The Original Kings of Comedy, D.L. Hughley, and one of The Original Queens of Comedy, Adele Givens.

Shannon Thompson with Jim Kellner

 Shannon Thompson is no lightweight when it comes to comedy. With his brothel-sized vocabulary and wry sense of irony, he slays audiences like a modern day Samurai after a drunken binge.  Shannon uses his unique perspective on life (including his unusual experiences) to create comedic prose like no other. As a child Shannon would spend countless hours engaged in swearing contests with the other neighborhood children, and was almost always victorious. These naturally led to a budding interest in humor, and eventually stand up comedy. He has performed in all the leading comedy venues in across the country:
