What do you get when you cross an acoustic connoisseur, Taiwan's next pop star, an 80's synthpop devotee, and a classic hard rocker?
The Prawns!
The Prawns are the single greatest nautical band in all existence. They hail from under the sea near Redmond, Washington. This four-piece powerhouse of "all that is good in the world" is composed of four modest men with magnanimous personalities and unparalleled charisma. Their different and sometimes contrasting tastes in music help to create the unique sound waves produced by the band.
Why do The Prawns love UW's Relay for Life? Because they HATE CANCER. Also, three of the four charming boys actually attend the University of Washington and are extremely excited to help support this amazing event.

"Coming Through"
I Never Heard the Bullet
I Never Heard the Bullet, is a five piece rock ensemble from Portland Oregon that has been working to create a truly unique sound best described as hook-driven, soulful rock 'n roll which isn't afraid to incorporate melodic hardcore breakdowns. Utilizing two guitars and various keyboard/synth textures, the result is sonically dense, yet open enough to feature the soulful R & B hooks of Motaz Hussein. Melodic guitar playing from Jesse Swain and Dustyn Fleming constantly keeps motion in the music, while Tabor Brady?s smart bass playing creates interesting harmonic functions and low end counter-melodies, add the powerful rhythmic framework created by Kaycee Kay, and the resulting sound is truly something to behold.
