C.O.C.O. (www.kpunk.com/COCO)
C.O.C.O. (of Olympia, WA, on K Records) represents the next chapter in
indie rock's revival of the funky, sensual beats and grooves of
classic soul and R&B. Together, modish chanteuse Olivia Ness and Dub
Narcotic Sound System bassist Chris Sutton sidle their way through
some delicious and infectious dance music that's a welcome respite
from the bland canned beats you can hear in dance clubs across the
land. Ness provides a comfortable low end, moving slinky and snakelike
at the foundation of each number, while Sutton offers busy, highly
varied, often exotic percussion. Ness's detached, coolly seductive
melodies work nicely with the songs' warm instrumentation, and
Sutton's quirky backup vocals give the music its sense of humor.

SATIIVA (www.satiiva.com)
Satiiva, featuring members of X-KRUSH, Lorenzo Goetz, and other bands, 
play rock with hints of reggae, punk, ska, and hip-hop.  What is there
not to like?

SYNESTHESIA (www.synesthesiaband.com)
Taking the best of jam bands like Grateful Dead and psychedelic rock bands
like Pink Floyd, Synesthesia guarantee that you'll be seeing colors all
night.

All IMC shows are non-smoking and all ages. Non-alcoholic beverages and
snacks will be available.  BYOB if 21+.
