Tech professionals by day, garage rockers by night. They’ll pick up their instruments and venture onto the big stage to let their rocking alter egos shine…For a good cause and the love of music.

Silicon Valley Rocks! will bring together the Valley’s tech community - from VCs and entrepreneurs to bloggers and software developers - to raise money for Music in Schools Today (MuST), a Bay Area non-profit that seeks to rescue music programs from budget cuts.

The showcase will feature Silicon Valley bands and original rockers who want to jam! The SVR selection committee - a mix of music and tech professionals – will choose the final line-up for a show that will entertain and amuse your entire social graph. The evening will close with drinks, DJs, and dancing.

The evening's lineup will include (and not necessarily in this order):

* CORINNE MARCUS & THE KINDRED SPIRITS — catchy and intriguing with hints of Lilith, pop, rock and lounge. Tech Affiliations: Walden Venture Capital, Digidesign.
* FAREWELL TYPEWRITER — melodic rock music that's energetic yet tight, dancey but tough. Tech Affiliations: Hewlett-Packard and Thing Labs (makers of Brizzly).
* MARROW — electronica/dance beats guaranteed to make you move your gloomy ass. Tech Affiliations: Pyramind Studios and the “sflogicninja” of YouTube fame.
* THE OPEN SOURCE BAND — featuring Jonah Matranga (lead singer of Far) and Randi Zuckerberg — a Silicon Valley Rocks! special freely available for your listening pleasure. Tech Affiliations: Facebook, Norwest Venture Partners, Walden Venture Capital, Amplified Music Services.
* THE TELL-TALE HEARTBREAKERS — tearing through the post-punk music scene with tense, guitar and bass-driven songs that reflect the darker side of rock and roll. Tech Affiliations: PDI/DreamWorks.
* THE WHITEHALLS — from straight-ahead rockers to political drama to crowd-pleasing ballads to electronica, this band covers all the bases. Tech Affiliations: Digg.com, Aldon (software), IT for SF Boys & Girls Club, Bite PR.

This year we had eight times the band submissions we received in 2008! Stay tuned to the Silicon Valley Rocks blog for a list of finalists selected by our "listening committee" and more info on this year's line up — band history, interviews, music, photos etc.

Silicon Valley Rocks! & MuST

All proceeds for Silicon Valley Rocks! will be donated to Music in Schools Today (MuST). MuST is the Bay Area’s answer to the crisis in music education. Despite extensive research indicating that music instruction supplies intellectual, emotional and physical components critical to children’s development, music and arts programs are often the first victims of budget cuts. MuST advocates for, supports and develops integrated, accessible, sustainable and measurable music-in-education programs that improve student achievement.
