Treasure Island was built with on the north side of Yerba Buena Island for the World's Fair Expo in 1939. The island sits in the "middle" of the San Francisco – Oakland
Bay Bridge. Built by the federal government, Treasure Island was planned for and used as an airport for Pan American Airline's Pacific Rim service of flying boats, of which the China Clipper is an example. After the World's Fair 1939–40 exhibition, the island was scheduled to be used as an airport when the Navy offered to exchange Mills Field on the San Francisco Peninsula near the city of Millbrae for the island. The City and County of San Francisco accepted the swap, and the airport was built at Mills Field.
During World War II, Treasure Island became part of the Treasure Island Naval Base, and served largely as an electronics and radio communications training school, and as the major Navy departure point for sailors in the Pacific. In 1996, Treasure Island and the Presidio Army Base were decommissioned and opened to public control, under stipulations. Treasure Island is now part of District 6 of the City and County of San Francisco, though it is still owned by the Navy.Building One is a Streamline Moderne-styled remnant of the World's Fair and is one of the few buildings remaining from the exposition. Originally intended as the terminal
for the airport, it housed the Treasure Island Museum from 1976 to 1997. Today it serves largely as offices for The Villages, a private apartment rental agency. The former housing for officers and their families is rented out to the general public, pending redevelopment and reconstruction of buildings on the island, slated for 2012-2014.

TV ON THE RADIO
The eclectic TV On The Radio has gone two years since the release of their last album, Return To Cookie Mountain. The album, like each release before, earned wild critical acclaim and swarms of a new and growing fan base to descend on perpetual tours.

GOLDFRAPP
In the short span of four years, Hot Chip has evolved from a quirky, indefinable London act into an established and addictive electro pop wonder. Their latest album, Made in the Dark, continues the trends of pulsing, dance inducing hits begun with 2006's breakthrough smash The Warning. Sharpened songwriters Alexis Taylor and Joe Goddard mix and match beats with dry British wit, creating inane and necessary songs and images.
The last time we saw Goldfrapp, they were the consummate disco beasts, wielding the subversive sound of stylised seventies glamour with a whipcrack of erotica and a lick of British humour that they had The biggest band in Brazil, CSS is best distilled over the course of three albums. known here from an infamous YouTube video and several commercial spots. But beyond their billboard and commercial success, CSS are one of the most exciting, sassy, and brazen groups the world over. Formed in Sao Paulo, Brazil, CSS is short for cansei de ser sexy, or “tired of being sexy.”

JUSTICE
Is it justified that two relatively unknown French guys can enter a college remix contest and end up playing Coachella as their first live show? Maybe not, but after listening to Justice's debut †, you won't find many people objecting. From their remix of Simian's "Never Be Alone" that first gained them the attention of Ed Banger Records, Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay of Justice began their acceleration through European dance floors where their remixes soon became club favorites.
Long Island born Aesop Rock, aka Ian Bavitz, burst onto the NYC hip hop scene a decade ago to usher in a new underground sound that help revitalize and revolutionize the genre. Now living in San Francisco, Aesop Rock has retained the aggressive, exotic feel that propelled him onto Def Jux records years ago. That formidable power that dominated New York and built Aesop’s rep is as present as ever, growing in strength with each release.
MIKE RELM
FOALS
AMON TOBIN Amon Tobin was born in Brazil, but currently lives in Montreal, Canada, in an industrialized part of town. It cuts down on noise complaints, but also acts as muse to Tobin's love of ambient sounds over instruments. Known for his break beat style and extensive sampling, Tobin takes everything from film and media clips to urban and industrial sounds.
AESOP ROCK

As a turntable champion and danceable rock and roll that has DJ funny man, Relm can entertain audiences been making people in tight pants the country over. His recent tours with the Blue dance uninhibited for upwards of Man Group (seriously) have brought him face five years now.

ANITBALAS The dozen member strong ensemble that is Antibalas took their name from the Spanish word for “Bulletproof”. Hailing from Brooklyn, and as hard and lean as the streets that bore them, Antibalas are more like a mini army of dedicated musical infantry men and women, slogging and sweating through the tiny clubs of New York, onward to the sprawling battlefields of the festival scene.
THE RACOUNTERS VAMPIRE WEEKEND
Just how does this happen? How does a band snag the cover of Spin Magazine before releasing an album? How does a group who sings about Cape Cod and proper grammar sell a quarter million albums in six months? The simple answer: Vampire Weekend were easily the biggest and most talked about thing to happen to indie music in 2008.
THE KILLS
The cross-Atlantic pair of the mysterious, arty types Mosshart (a.k.a. VV) and Hince (a.k.a. Hotel) form The Kills. Both had punk rock roots in their previous bands, Mosshart from Floridian band Discount and the British Hince known from bands Scarfo and Blyth Power. Mosshart overheard Hince practicing in the hotel room above hers and they later teamed up to write songs after their respective groups disbanded. First attempting to collaborate by air mailing work, this test of patience resulted in Mosshart heading to London to give it a real shot.
The Quin sisters make up the indie pop duo Tegan and Sara. The twin set of singer/songwriters share creative duties as performers of each other's songs. And that weird twin synchronization seems to be working for them. Their first taste of stardom came in their native Canada from winning a Garage band competition while just teens.
It comes as little surprise that when four already established musicians unite to form a new musical super group, very little goes unnoticed. And for the Raconteurs, releasing an album without prior press and fanfare does little to stifle such success. Released only a week after the announcement of it's existence, Consolers for the Lonely, is the Raconteurs second album since their 2006 debut Broken Boy Soldiers. Insisting from the start that The Raconteurs are far more than a mere side project for songwriters Jack White and Brendan Benson, the band prefers to describe themselves rather as a “gathering of friends.�

Few thought they would have the chance to see Spiritualized live again. They haven’t put out an album of new material in five years, and it’s been even longer since they’ve toured the states.
