The first four musical guests for Florida Supercon have just been added! Chii Sakurabi, The Cadillac Creeps, Crimson and Critics & Skeptics will all be performing at FSC. Stay tuned for many more musical guest additions!

Chii Sakurabi is a J-POP singer from Tokyo, Japan. She has performed live throughout Tokyo for over three years and recently moved to the United States where she is expanding her music career internationally. Chii and composer Nucky have written original songs with a fantasy world concept. Chii released her first album, "Mirage," in November 2011. This album has both high-energy and ambient styles, including some songs with English and Japanese versions. With Chii's amazing voice and adorable dances, you can't help but fall entranced into her world!  Chii's current ambition is to share Japanese fairytales through music. Enjoy her fantasy world!

The Cadillac Creeps is a compilation of musicians from the east and west coasts that share the same love for great music as well as a great live performance...Both Sound and Vision. With a belief that the image should be just as important as the music...this is "NO"  t-shirt and Jeans Band! Their focus is on entertainment that is as much visual as it is auditory.  They have been compared to KISS, Manson, Rob Zombie, The Misfits, Sabbath and Alice Cooper. The music is dynamic and powerful as well as hauntingly romantic. This is a Rock band that has it all and have developed an amazing following with their killer songs, catchy riffs, memorable hooks, incredible Vocal Harmonies and an in your face Mind-Blowing High Energy Rock Stage show. To add to the killer image, their main transportation and touring vehicle is a 1963 Cadillac Hearse ...which is where the Cadillac comes in.

Crimson was born of the marriage of Elisa Meléndez's songwriting and Evan Lamb's arranging. They began writing & performing together in 2001 and after going through a few line-up changes, the final line-up of Brian Lange on drums, Alex Hoyt on keytar bass & Dave Torre on rhythm guitar added the perfect combo of musicianship and friendship.

What happens when you blend together sweet alternative rock, beastly pop-punk and some epic hard rock together? Critics & Skeptics of course. The sound is a unique blending of sounds like What happens when you blend together sweet alternative rock, beastly pop-punk and some epic hard rock together? Critics & Skeptics of course. The sound is a unique blending of sounds like Paramore, Taking Back Sunday, There For Tomorrow, In This Moment, and All Time Low. The only real way to discover the sound though, is to take a listen!
