This is a list of bands who have confirmed their appearance at Kannaroo 2010. As always we suggest coming at the start of the festival and staying through till the end. All of the bands are awesome. We are also working on getting some younger metal kids to play the empty space before and after the shred fest. Keep in mind, all of these bands play for free, and their love of making noise.

    The Art of Flying - Taos, NM

    Art of Flying is woven around the songs of David & Anne Costanza, formerly of the 80s LA improv band The Whitefronts, and more recently the New-Mexico-based eldritch folk Lords of Howling. Since 1997 they have recorded seven CDs on Discobolus records & one 10" record (released by Cochon records) at their home studio in Questa, NM, The Barn recorder.

    Big Tree - Brooklyn, NY

    Indie.Folk.Psychedelic

    Big Tree's music personally brings me back to the jams of the swingin' Summer of Love, albeit in a melancholy, jazz-tinged, utterly earnest way. No Elephant 6 revivalists of retropsychy sounds, Big Tree play a brand of grooving, poetic, sometimes knotty folk rock music. I've had the pleasure of catching them play live twice, and they're one of the finest young bands I've seen in ages. Their songs will get stuck in your head only shortly after your heart leaves your mouth from the impact of the perfect vocal harmonies.

    Sub Fobias - Madrid, Spain

    Punk

    A soundtrack to the end of times. It's a blend of new and old sounds with topics covering hostage situations, alien invasions, floods, fires, terrorism, and the balance of good and evil. The Subfobias were formed in Madrid, Spain, but are currently playing gigs in Sacramento, California.

    Manby's Head - Taos, NM

    Rock

    The result of a fortuitous meeting in the tranquil, sinister town of Taos, New Mexico, Manby’s Head commenced when noted guitarist Peter Greenberg (DMZ, Customs, Lyres, Barrence Whitfield & The Savages) joined vocalist/ other guitarist Michael Mooney and bass player Paul Reid in early summer, 2009. Drummer Eric Whitlock entered as the weather began to turn

  • 10:00 p.m.

    The Terrible Airplane - Witchita, KS

    Progressive.Minimalist.Metal

    With clever dissonance on top of a foundation of odd meters and fresh rhythm, this hardcore duo/trio is as refined as loud can get. Masters of the ensemble, The Terrible Airplane has tightly knit unison moments, and a lively interplay amongst members of the band.
