The two big shows (that I'm most interested in) are Dirty Little Rabbits and Poison Control Center, who finish the evening in the Grand Ballroom. Most interestingly, DLR is a relatively new band with their roots in local and now international favorites Slipknot and is led by Stella Katsoudas, who has also performed (quite well btw) as Sister Soleil and Stella Soleil. More about their story here. I worked for the radio station mentioned in the article at the time we were pushing Sister Soleil and Slipknot so it's especially rewarding to see them in this interesting new band.
