1. The Phenomenauts
(n) Imagine if the Stray Cats, the Ventures, the Kinks and Devo were galactic pioneers, and joined forces to defend earth"s right to "rocket roll". The Phenomenauts, hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, combine the sounds of pop, psychobilly, and rock-n- roll with a witty, Sci-Fi outer space theme. The band has just recorded their first full-length release, titled, "Rockets and Robots." In the studio, the quartet honed the technical aspects of their vision, and were able to encapsulate their zany energy into the finished product. The Phenomenauts are becoming infamous for their "commando-style" street performances, in which they set up in front of big venues such as the legendary Fillmore, and perform for the crowds leaving the show. They've hit every major venue in San Francisco, as well as numerous street fairs. Their most recent commando performance took place at the annual California Music Awards, where the band snuck in to the backstage VIP area and set up their battery-powered equipment. They played 3 songs before security asked them to stop, realizing they could not unplug them. They went on to join partygoers, many of whom expressed admiration for their bravery.
