Dead Poser's Society formed in 1996 by four friends with the philosophy to simply have fun and play only the songs they enjoy from the greatest hits by modern rock and alternative artists. The band quickly gained recognition as one of California's most talented cover bands performing to sold-out venues throughout the region.

Dead Poser's Society play music from the 90's to today. Songs from the Foo Fighters, Alice in Chains, Lit, Buckcherry, etc. DPS also pays homage to one of the greatest rock bands of all time, Stone Temple Pilots. Performing the greatest hits of STP with near exact reflection of the originals, Dead Poser's Society holds true to the STP legend. If STP is one of your favorite bands, then you need to experience Dead Poser's Society. With songs such as Crackerman, Wicked Garden, Dead & Bloated, Down, Vasoline, and Sex Type Thing, you will be sure to have a great time and reminisce seeing live, one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

Their emphasis on playing selective songs gives excitement to the sound with near exact reflection of the originals. Dead Poser's Society live performances are visual, energetic and one you would expect from a top alternative band, with emotional honesty that keeps true to the music and the audience expectations. Don't miss a chance to see this band perform.

OTR Band originally formed in 2002 when long-time friends Phil Griego and Peter Filice came together with several other musicians. The band had their first public appearance at a San Jose Exchange Club fundraiser for underprivileged kids — an event they have repeated every year since then. Craig Martin on drums joined the band in 2006, Megan Gluhan on vocals and keyboards arrived in 2007, and last but not least Dave Gundacker rounded out the band as lead guitarist in 2008. Guest musicians occasionally join us, including talented percussionist Miguel Serrano, harmonica wizard Mark “Fenny” Fenichel, and bassist George Alfs.

The band continues to constantly add new material, carrying on the style of classic rock n' roll and R&B with our own unique interpretation.

In November 2009, the band was named the Best Cover Band in the KFOX Last Band Standing competition. Rock on!

Nuthin' Fancy: A Tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd meticulously replicates the stage performance of Lynryd Skynyrd, mastering every detail from the original band's clothing to its ripping piano and guitar solos. Each member of Nuthin Fancy has at least twenty years of musical experience, which has assisted them in collectively developing a sense of professionalism and unity unparalleled by other cover bands. "They sound so much like the real Skynyrd" commented one observer, "that I have to keep reminding myself they're not the real thing".

The Joint Chiefs are one of the most versatile and exciting dance bands currently performing on the Northern California music scene. Since their inception in 1990, The Joint Chiefs have built a loyal following based on their live performances as well as their wide range of styles and influences. Their sound fuses elements of funk, acid jazz and classic R&B with their own signature groove. The result is a dance party of infectious grooves.

Since members of the band were raised on 70's funk, the band is able to capture the real natural funk feel that all the other bands try to imitate.

With a repertoire of over 200 songs and a history of hundreds of performances in the Bay Area's most popular venues, The Joint Chiefs play everything from low volume instrumental jazz to full blown dance crazed funk. In addition to the nightclub and dinnerhouse venues, they have become a favorite for weddings, festivals and corporate parties.

The Joint Chiefs have amassed an impressive resume of performances. One listen proves this band can deliver the goods on disc as well as on stage!
