Dont miss this wild time on the High Dive stage. You've heard of Air Guitar, this is AIR SEX !? It started as a one time parody of an Air Guitar competition in Austin. We’ve crowned Air Sex Champions in over 30 cities across North America, appeared at notable events such as FunFunFun Fest and Fantastic Fest and have been covered by thousands of hot throbbing press outlets. Hosted by comedian Chris Trew, who’s weirded out millions with his Air Sex demonstrations on America’s Got Talent (Howard Stern said we were “highly offensive”) and Bad Girls Club. The event is judged by a collection of local comedians, sex shop owners and adult film stars. Every December the winners are flown to compete in the National Championships, held in Austin, Tx

The Crazy Carls deliver outrageous pop music with intense performance and extreme personality. Alex Baugh is the band’s singer and guitarist who writes his own music and never disappoints. The band is about to release several songs that give a personal connection to the band members. The music sounds always new because the band is determined to give their all to their fans. Alex says that Prince has been a great influence, but he wants to tell his own story with a range of vocals that includes falsetto and rap.

Jacuzzi Boys hail from Miami and play fuzzy, metallic, power pop anthems.

Glazin' is the group's second full length and first for Hardly Art. The album was recorded at Key Club Studio (Franz Ferdinand, the Kills, etc) and finds the JBs reaching a more refined and polished sound, complete with studio tricks and wizardry. The result is a sonic popsicle! Delicious and refreshing and a treat for your ears. Prepare to experience raspberry feelings all over.

Indie folk icons MOUNTAIN GOATS on Merge Records! Their last show in Gainesville sold out many weeks in advance, so BUY EARLY!

John Darnielle (chief Goats songwriter) has written almost 600 songs now, and some of them are very sad, dealing with hard drugs and tragic ends, hurting yourself and others, sicknesses of both body and brain, off-brand alcohols. They are told in beautiful, unnerving, specific detail because he is a very good writer, and also some of them are just true stories about his own life.

But many have noted that John Darnielle seems often very happy, and his demeanor on stage is almost exclusively unhaunted, ecstatic.

New album "Transcendental Youth" releaed Oct 2012 on Merge Records !

Valient Thorr, the rock n’ roll saviors from Venus who crossed the solar system to warn Earthlings about the error of our ways, delivering a message of redemption wrapped in rock n’ roll, with pounding drums and shredding guitar licks. The grizzled time-space travelers may look like a chapter of the Hell’s Angels, but there’s much more to this band than meets the eye. Their combination of heavy rock n’ roll and thought-provoking lyrics gives their legions of fans–dubbed the “Thorriors”– food for thought through their staggeringly productive output. The group has averaged close to 250 tour dates a year, and is currently polishing up their fourth album in five years, Immortalizer, set for release on June 17 on Volcom Entertainment.

Hailing from beyond the tall grass of Gainesville, FL, Flat Land brings a new take on groove rock with blues guitarist/singer, Zach Tucker finding the funk with Chris Pyle (bass) and Grant McLeod (drums). Flat Land's catchy foot stomping jams were brought to new heights with guitar shred virtuosity from Christopher Storey, and beautiful soul filled melodies from Fae Nageon de Lestang (violin, vocals). Together Flat Land has broken new grounds with intriguing textures and thoughtful melody on top of classic groove heavy rhythmic jams.

Flush with simmering sexuality and irresistible dance pulse, Brooklyn-based Hank & Cupcakes are the coalescence of rock without guitars and pop without synthesizers. Originally from Tel Aviv, the duo are known for their explosive live performances. The show is a raucous bash, where the mesmerizing Cupcakes stands to bang her drum kit only breaking the beat to catalyze a dance party with the crowd
