Heard of these bands?

[Fresno Bob]

My company has a week long user conference in SF, and this year they've added a huge music component, instead of having just a one night event. I'm geeked up for The Hives and The Bravery, Joss Stone and Macy Gray are also scheduled as is the English Beat (Friar????), but so are a bunch of other bands I've never heard of that I could go to see free. Anyone heard of any of these?

Dodos
American Steel
Dirty Ghosts
Young Prisms
Red Meat

My friends band is going to open for the Hives on the last day

a bunch of DJ's too, any of these guys any good?

DJ Don Lynch
DJ Josh One
DJ Mei-Lwun
DJ Panic City
DJ Zaq

I saw the Hives in philly about a month ago and it was a fantastic show. I knew just a few songs but the lead singer was very engaging and I had a ton of fun. I was going to suggest that my brother see them when they hit SF, but it wasn't on their tour schedule.

The only one I know on your list is the Dodos. I thought their first and second albums were really good and their most recent one was only okay. They were really good when I saw them live too.

Are they still playing the same 10 songs

I did some digging, they all seem to be Bay Area bands....the guy that picked them is the one whose band "The Five Hundreds" is opening for the Hives the final night at the Yerba Buena Gardens

Josh-One?! That's cool. He's on the same record label as my bros.
