The Kickstand Band
At 5 p.m. Sept. 1, South Stage
Spritely indie-pop trio with a debut album due out soon.
Melvin Davis & the United Sounds
At 8 p.m. Sept. 1, South Stage
Detroit's self-proclaimed soul ambassador, Davis is smoother than mom's pudding.
The Sugarcoats
At 6:30 p.m. Sept. 1, North Stage
Joey Mazzola's power-pop garage monster band will bring tunes galore.
Phantasmagoria
At 8:30 p.m. Sept. 1, North Stage
Nothing to do with the Annihilator tune of the same name, these guys play experimental pop, and do so with aplomb.
Michael Hurtt & his Haunted Hearts
At 5 p.m. Sept. 2, South Stage
Hurtt loves old rockabilly, and the likes of Jack Scott and Eddie Cochran can be heard in the scratchy, gloriously fuzzy 45s that his band puts out.
Revoir
At 4:30 p.m. Sept. 2, North Stage
Awesome electro-pop project featuring Jason Revoir. His Jesus Chainsaw Massacre cover will hopefully get an airing.
Deadbeat Beat
At 6:30 p.m. Sept. 2, North Stage
Former members of the Decks get a little grittier while retaining the surf-rock sprit.
Outrageous Cherry
At 6 p.m. Sept. 3, South Stage
Matt Smith will blast through a set of power-pop brilliance, then piss off to see the other bands. Pat his back when you see him in the crowd.
Deastro
At 7 p.m. Sept. 3, South Stage
Atmospheric electro-shoegaze dude Deastro will likely bring the somber to the festival, in a good way. Sway along, congregation.
Dennis Coffey
At 9 p.m. Sept. 3, South Stage
Motown session maestro Coffey has an arsenal of tunes that better-known legends would envy. And he's a killer guitarist.
Kielbasa Kings
At 3 and 4 p.m. Sept. 3, North Stage
Polka madness but then, to be fair, this is Hamtramck. Just dance, dammit.
Terrible Twos
At 5:30 p.m. Sept. 3, North Stage
Nothing ambient about these guys — expect noisy punk rock from one of the bands that does it best.
Destroy This Place
At 7:30 p.m. Sept. 3, North Stage
Post-hardcore dudes who have some of the catchiest melodies you'll hear all weekend, all buried under a ton of barbed wire.
Pewter Cub
At 8:30 p.m. Sept. 3, North Stage
Don't talk, just watch and listen. Pewter Cub's lush indie pop is beautiful. Ssshhh! Listen.
