The Pretty Victims normally play a unique brand of soulful metal that draws from a wide variety of influences, such as Deftones, the Minutemen, and Pantera. On occasion, however, they set down the electrics and play a set of energetic acoustic music. Their acoustic set is where they embrace all of their other loves in music, from Johnny Cash, to Norah Jones, to old folk traditionals. The Pretty Victims are Berti Jan-McMahon, Wilder Deitz, and Joe Galligan.

The Shrunken Heads play a fast-paced blend of new wave, punk, and garage rock that has landed them gigs everywhere from the King Street Block Party to the Lussier Teen Loft to the Monona Terrace. Their acoustic set is a collection of beautiful originals that pays homage to such influences as the Beatles and Coldplay. The Shrunken Heads are Shannon Connor, Mitch Deitz, Brendan Manley, and Sam Galligan.
