Hailed as “one of the best young bands in America,” Filligar is the rock n’ roll quartet comprised of the three Mathias brothers—Johnny, Pete, and Teddy—and their lifelong friend Casey Gibson.

They have supported acts such as The Black Keys and My Morning Jacket. Filligar’s new album is slated for release in early 2012.

House of Blues San Diego - 5th Ave Side Stage
Doors at 6:30. Tickets: $10
The Burning of Rome infects their crowds with blistering live shows and melodic hooks. If the Misfits and Danny Elfman had a love child, this is what would be waking you up at 4 in the morning. Blending gypsy punk, dance, and rock into a mind-bending stew, this is music for the new world. With a string of West Coast tours gaining fans through show antics of hurling of giant skulls into the crowd and sabotaging their instruments as a musical sacrifice at each set's end, the band's momentum has led them to record their debut album for Surfdog Records, arriving worldwide in Spring 2012.
the PENNANT is a band from San Diego, CA that blends elements of Pop/Rock, R&B and Hip-Hop to form a very refreshing sound. In just 2 years together, this young quartet has been grabbing the attention of music lovers everywhere. Playing some of the most renowned venues on the West Coast, and supporting some of the biggest names in music today, the PENNANT has played sold out shows at the House of Blues San Diego, The Roxy Theater, The Viper Room, The Troubadour, and more and has opened for bands such as Andy Grammer, Ernie Halter, Jason Mraz & POD. This young band has quickly made a name for itself and continues to gain fans and believers everywhere.
JB and Chetan first met as concert pianists in Cleveland in 2005, and while a handful of songs were written, the two hadn't considered starting a band together until a jam session with bass player Melissa in 2010--tequila flowing like agua--where someone said, ‘wouldn’t it be nice to start a band somewhere warm?’ Later that year, the trio headed to San Diego. Once in town, it miraculously took a mere matter of days before meeting Pat. The pieces of the mosaic were aligned, and the quartet was unleashed. They are known now for incorporating 19th and 20th century piano pieces to their shows, reviving what many consider to be a dying art form. While drawing the likes of Coldplay and Muse, their style undeniably has a life and sound of its own.
