DESCRIPTION:Variety Fest is here. A night full of musical experiences\, adv
	enture and\nbreaking genre conventions. Punk\, math rock\, fusion jazz and
	 electronics all in\none bundle deal.  Very reminiscent of a good old late
	 night trip to the nearest\nsupermarket.\n\nBand Bios\n\nFrog Jumps Out - 
	Frog Jumps Out is a jazz fusion band that treats PlayStation\n2–era racing
	 game soundtracks with the same seriousness as Herbie Hancock.\nInspired b
	y 80s Japanese fusion icons such as Casiopea\, it blends vintage\nelectric
	 instruments and modern grooves\, while keeping the harmonic richness and\
	nimprovisation of traditional jazz. Unafraid of sounding cheesy\, Frog Jum
	ps Out\nmoves between blazing guitar solos and dramatic melodies to bring 
	out emotions\nrarely foregrounded in jazz.\n\nBrain Stain - Brain Stain is
	 a music project founded in 2018. The music we make\nis what we call "Lapt
	op Punk"—a mashup of rock\, metal\, breakbeat\, breakcore\,\ndigital hardc
	ore\, techno\, and drum and bass\, inspired by everything alternative\nfro
	m the late '90s and early 2000s. Brain Stain's lyrics and themes are easy 
	to\nscream along to\, and the music is meant to give everyone their own me
	ntal\nmoshpit.\n\nFilmm - We're a 3-piece band  born in a series of random
	\, no-agenda jam\nsessions\, with each of us bringing influences from acro
	ss the board. We have\nfound common ground\, connected by a goal of bringi
	ng forward a set full of\nsurprising and possibly impossible to cover mome
	nts. We weave agile math rock\nriffing through sturdy hardcore bass and dr
	ums - cool and good\, fragile but\npunchy\, chaotic and catchy.\n\nCommon 
	Sexuality - From long driven passions of performing classical pieces to\np
	roducing electronic music\, four sexy commoners demolish age barriers by\n
	breathing new life into rock: a combination of raw energy and experimental
	\nsoundscapes\, featuring emotionally charged vocals\, distorted riffs\, a
	nd dynamic\nrhythms. This balance between chaos and tranquility is what ev
	entually comes out\nof every gathering of Common Sexuality.
