DVC Pop
DVC Pop brings bands from Diablo Valley College's Commercial Music program to the stage for a full night of live music. Each band has its own lineup and sound, ranging across rock and its many offshoots to pop and R&B. Many of them write and perform their own original songs, so expect fresh material alongside familiar favorites. These are the next generation of Bay Area heavyweights, and this is your chance to catch them before everyone else does. Follow @dvcpop on Instagram for lineup announcements
Code Blue
Code Blue is based in San Francisco's East Bay. What started as five people meeting in a classroom quickly turned into a band built around experimentation and a love for music that refuses to stay in one lane.Pulling from hardcore punk, metal, and the classics of Led Zeppelin and The Beatles, Code Blue blends jammable riffs and chaotic energy with melodic instincts and a strong sense of creativity. Their sound moves between raw aggression and feel-good rock, drawing from both the heaviness of underground music and the songwriting traditions of classic rock.Rooted in the East Bay DIY scene, the band approaches everything with a hands-on community mentality, from writing and recording at DVC to playing shows at some of the East Bay's cult venues. At its core, Code Blue is about five friends making the kind of music they want to hear: heavy, weird, emotional, and unapologetically their own.
