On WEDNESDAY AUG. 18th from 10pm-3am at BEAUTY BAR in downtown Las Vegas, the first ever MATT BERNSON BAND BASH will take place!

Coinciding with the fashion industry's most important string of tradeshows, BAND BASH will be an unforgettable night of musical performance, fanciful indulgence, and true merriment.

Headlining the event are EASTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS. Die-hard Philadelphia rockers (by way of LA), ECC has garnered vast attention in the past few months after their placement on the Twilight "Eclipse" soundtrack. Their incredibly high energy show, matched with recent appearances on "Gossip Girl", "Friday Night Lights", and "Last Call With Carson Daly", have made them one of the most sought-after musical acts in the country. With the upcoming release of their new album "SPEAK-AHH", the Eastern Conference Champions are poised to become one of the truly prominent and critically acclaimed rock outfits on the American music scene today.

Handling the latter portion of the night will be NARCISSE, the newly formed electronic duo comprised of Le Chev (Michael Laine Cheever) and TRAV (Travis Wheeler). These two childhood friends (who've recently played with Fischerspooner and will soon be releasing remixes for Delorean and Avan Lava) began working together and creating music in 2010 with a heavy influence of Disco and Berlin Club. Stealing techniques and sounds spanning multiple genres, and using House production tricks at slower tempos, the two have coined their own genre of "Swagga House", a sound that reflects an American hip-hop influenced youth. Gaining notoriety for the incendiary parties they've thrown across the country, Narcisse comes to BAND BASH with ambitions of total dance anarchy.

Rounding out the bill will be VOXHAUL BROADCAST, the California-based rock group recently described as one of "LA’s Best New Indie Bands" by ultimate taste maker Nic Harcourt. With steady radio airplay in THE US & UK, and in anticipation of their upcoming album “Timing is Everything” produced by Grammy winner Tom Biller (Silversun Pickups, Liars), Voxhaul Broadcast has been making serious waves and creating a true buzz in the industry. Their electric live set, described as a cross between The Doors and Nirvana, will be the perfect way to start the party.

The setting of the evening is a star in itself. Nestled in the heart of Old Vegas, the downtown staple known as BEAUTY BAR is one of the hippest and most unique venues in town. Host to amazing bands from across the country in their outdoor, post-apocalyptic concrete courtyard, Beauty Bar is, quite simply, one of the coolest places around. Inspired by the late fifties interior from the Capri Salon in Trenton, NJ, Beauty Bar serves as a refuge from the casino culture for locals and visitors alike.

So join us on August 18th as we throw the ultimate outdoor house party for the truly discerning. For everyone that has supported us, and to all who have grown to love our brand, this is our way of saying thank you. With some of the best acts around from across the country, BAND BASH is poised to be a night to remember, and certainly one not to be missed.
