This six member synth-pop band has received rave reviews from local papers and international magazines alike. With a beat to melt your face off, The Slants will ring in the New Year in style.
A-Key-Kyo specializes in J-Pop and great attitude as they bring you covers of anime theme songs with flare. Theyve kicked off conventions and performed for large audiences at festivals and conventions throughout the Northwest. A-Key-Kyo will bring you in for the music you know and leave you happy to know them and their sweet brand of live music.
