[C14] April Announcement - Bands, DJs, Vendors, and Venues!

Convergence 14 Announcement - April, 2008


The C14 committee would like to announce two more bands have been added 
to our lineup:

Fiction 8
http://www.fiction8.com
Fiction 8 offers songs that are at once both visceral and catchy. Their 
beats pound hard enough to keep even the most fickle dancefloor moving, 
while their lyrical hooks are sharp enough to torment listeners for 
days. And through all of this, Fiction 8 retains a suffering edge that 
is reminiscent of Depeche Mode or The Smiths. Perhaps it is because of 
these ingredients that Fiction 8 has managed to quietly attract such a 
large and diverse following. Their music is immediately familiar, yet 
strangely fresh and contem****ary. Band members Michael Smith, Steven 
Hart, and Mardi ‘paisli’ Salazar work together to combine a creative
and 
unique sound that is distinctly Fiction 8.


Missile Command

Missile Command consists of two core members, Andrew Lent and Jim 
Maynard, who hail from a plethora of musical influences. This synth 
based outfit got its start in 2003 with the idea of creating a new voice 
in the oft underrated electronic music scee. Starting slowly to ensure 
that they could work well together, they began by lending their 
production and remixing talents to other local artists. Finding that the 
partner****p was to their satisfaction, they went about creating music 
with the idea that boundaries would only be observed when they went 
beyond the realm of what sonds good. By adding the talents of several 
local vocalists, Adam Boose, Dawn Mitchell, and Lori Rogers, they 
rounded out what is now Missile Command.

These bands add to an already exciting C14 lineup:

- Iris
