San Francisco, CA – A host of local musicians and arts organizations are joining forces for a special holiday celebration, The BISS “Silver Ball” Holiday Party!!

on Wednesday, December 1 at The Independent. Presented by the Bay Area's BISS Entertainment, the event features San Francisco bands The New Up, bernadette, Crackerjack Highway and M80 Mailbox, artists on the BISS roster who also share an affiliation as teachers, staff and alumni of San Francisco non-profit Blue Bear School of Music. Local DJ Jack Frost, fixture of Antarctica and Blackcrack NYC parties, will spin between sets. The BISS Silver Holiday Ball is a party of epic proportions that also serves a purpose: a portion of proceeds will be donated to Blue Bear to help the school continue its 39-year legacy of bringing innovative and affordable music education programs to anyone, regardless of financial means, who is motivated to sing, play or craft a song. Festive silver attire is encouraged, and advance tickets are recommended. Tickets are available online at theindependentsf.com, and can be purchased with no service fees at The Independent Box Office and at the front desk of Blue Bear School of Music (Fort Mason Center - Building D, San Francisco).

Blue Bear School of Music is San Francisco's leading destination for aspiring musicians of all ages and all skill levels who want to enjoy learning and playing rock, blues, jazz, folk or pop. A nonprofit organization founded in San Francisco in 1971, Blue Bear is a place where learning and playing popular music is fun and affordable, where people come together who love music, and where each student's unique talents and goals are recognized and supported. Blue Bear's mission is to provide superior quality and affordable popular music education to aspiring musicians of all ages and skill levels within a supportive and encouraging community. For more info, please visit bluebearmusic.org.

BISS Entertainment is a San Francisco-based artist management company focusing on local booking and management for quality Bay Area artists in many genres.

They also produce the BISS List, a weekly newsletter that reaches 6000 subscribers through email and social networking sites. BISS List highlights great live music and other events in the San Francisco Bay Area, personally recommended by the BISS independent crew of die hard local music fans. Get out and support the live music scene. Why? Because I Said So! For more info, please visit bissentertainment.com and bisslist.com.

M80 Mailbox is an excuse to play unapologetically loud and mean, screaming demon rock. That's what Dave Brogan (drummer of ALO), Josh Clark (guitarist of Tea Leaf Green) and Sean Leahy (Guitarmagedden, Kofy Brown, Four Year Bender) were looking for, and that's what they got. Now you can have it too. If you're in the market for fancy pants and pussy foots this ain't it. Armed with 2 screaming guitars, thunderous skins and years touring the open road, M80 Mailbox is your slab of rock delivered raw and lean with a side of mashed potatoes. Get ready to explode.

Voted a Best Bay Area Breakout Band of 2009 on MTV2/Ourstage, San Francisco rock/pop five-piece The New Up is releasing their fourth studio CD, Gold, on October 26, 2010. Gold was mastered by Roger Lian (The White Stripes, Madonna, The Killers, Smashing Pumpkins, and The Strokes) at Masterdisk NYC, and is the culmination of a series of three EPs: Better Off (2009) which Performer Magazine called, "An artful sonic balance that's miles beyond the typical indie-rock release," and the CMJ Top 200-charting Broken Machine (2008). NBCSanDiego.com calls The New Up "dark, dreamy rock with gorgeous female vocals," Behind the Hype states, "Metric with a touch of The Rolling Stones, with a front woman with an addictive, classy, lingering voice," and Flagpole says, "striking, exotic and brashly coherent indie pop that feel[s] like the sonic equivalent of a thrill ride." Delivering captivating live performances that combine uniquely catchy songs with polished chops and inspired musicianship, The New Up features flute and electronics in addition to guitars, bass, drums, and – front and center – the intoxicatingly liquid voice of ES Pitcher, who the Sacramento News & Review calls "the bastard love child of Siouxsie Sioux and Karen O." For more info, please visit thenewup.com.

bernadette is an anomaly in the local SF music scene. In four short years, she is doing what many musicians only dream of. She has played the grand rooms of San Francisco including The Fillmore, Great American Music Hall, The Independent, Yoshi’s and many more. Her sound is described as "soulful angst - Bonnie Raitt meets Courtney Love." bernadette is known for her big heart and her epic live shows and always has a surprise up her sleeve from bagpipers to drag queens to the youngest bandmate at 6 years old to having such notable stars such as Jon Krimstock of Lauren Hill, beatboxer RadioActive, rapper Selassie, skat queen, Ladi Chi and P-Funk All-Star Ronkat Spearman. Her band itself ranges from having a horn section to a string section depending on the inspiration and features the wonderfully talented Garrin Benfield on guitar and vocals. She defies the music industry without a record, label or any of the standard tools that most rock stars have- she’s doing it her way and is going a long way! Keep you eyes on this artist on the rise! For more info, please visit bernadettelovesyou.com.

Crackerjack Highway is a rock/fusion/funk five-piece from San Francisco that released their debut self-titled album in August 2010. Engineered and mixed by Jaimeson Durr (The Dead, Gomez, Chickenfoot, David Grisman) at San Francisco's legendary Hyde Street Studios, Crackerjack Highway is a lively mix of funk, '70s era fusion and classic rock that draws comparisons to a range of artists such as Radiohead, Parliament and Umphrey's McGee… and even Steely Dan and Jeff Beck. The band's live performances - captured on a recent live video from The Catalyst in Santa Cruz - are high-energy shows that get people dancing, with tight musicianship and great interplay between the players. Their sets combine originals with select covers of The Beatles, Allman Brothers, Stevie Wonder and Edgar Winter. For more info, please visit crackerjackhighway.com.

Jack Frost has been spinning eclectic sets of music throughout the Bay Area and beyond since the mid-'90s. He's performed in roller rinks, refrigerated ice trucks, natural hot springs, bondage dungeons, and clubs both large and small. For more info and to stream DJ sets, please visit soundcloud.com/jack-frost.
