Ladymoon is back and better than ever! They recently completed a five song demo with keyboardist and singer Nick Jaenicke. Jaenicke has performed all over the country with the Indiana University group Straight No Chaser and his college band Mitchell Street. The touring version of Ladymoon is now a power trio consisting of the original members of Ladymoon… Brown, Potts, and McKowen with Nick Mallers sitting in on percussion from time to time. Ladymoon is back and is better than ever. They have recently received Runner-Up in Relix Magazines “Jam-Off” and will have an editorial piece in the November edition. Their range expanded while taking time off and they drew new musical inspiration from their individual side projects. While they have recorded a 5 song EP since reuniting their song selection is enormous with original songs ranging from ska and reggae to progressive rock and jamband. Not to mention covers which include a wide array or artists including Talking Heads, Traffic & Deep Purple as well as Phish & The Grateful Dead.

Started in 2005, Boogie Matrix Mechanism released their debut album "Glass Candy" over Halloween 2006. They give the audience an eclectic mix of Jam psychedelia, hip hop, blues, reggae, funk n more. This seven piece band gives the audience not just funked out grooves or trippy space, but also some strong messages through the lyrics and entertaining opportunities through crowd participation. Out of Toledo, OH this jam band is bringing a positive vibe with an original mix of styles that few if any are doing today. Through a mutual friend, Brian Bell AKA 'Mainstream' and Bob Maltby, met in the fall of 2003. Immediately they started making music. Mainstream's innovative, often politically based, occasionally psychedelic induced lyrics mixed with Bob's funked out bass riffs along with some added drumming started a simple first band. However after the drummers exit from the band Brian and Bob started reevaluating the seriousness of their musical goals and moved from the trio format to create more of an acoustic sound with Bob playing rhythm guitar instead of bass. Looking for percussion/bass/whatever, In December 2004 Brian ran into an old friend Ben Durham whose band, Blind Sighted, had just broken up. His addition on Bass along with his drummer Eric Lowden laid down a strong foundation for Boogie Matrix Mechanism. A short search for a keyboardist led to Jim Kahmann out of Toledo. Soon after came the addition of lead guitarist John Kuntz into the mix and finally, in November of 2005, Eric's close friend Aaron Armstrong was added in on percussion and the evolution of Boogie Matrix Mechanism continues........ Boogie Matrix independently released their first album "Glass Candy" on Halloween 2006, their second album "Animated Reality" in the spring of 2008. Boogie Matrix recently released their 3rd album LASERGRAPE is Aug. 2009 at Shamy Bash where they opened for Keller Williams. They are now playing shows around Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Pennsylvania and Kentucky. They are interested in expanding their range and playing in as many different places as possible. In the past three summers they have played festivals such as Columbia Gas Ribs by the River 2006 and 2007 in Promenade Park in downtown Toledo, Indiana Jam Bash 2006, The Chaffee Gathering 2007 and Shamy Bash 2007, 2008 and 2009, Hookahville 29, Rhythmfest 3 and Gratefulfest 9
