Here's Some more info on who will be at the benefit show:

Robert Rich (Live Performance)
        Robert Rich has been writing electronic music and building his
        own synthesizers since the age of 13. His all-night Sleep
        Concerts, first performed in 1982 for a sleeping audience at
        Stanford, have become legendary among fans of ambient and space
        music. In 1996, almost ten years after his last sleep concert, he
        performed his first ever radio sleep concert, broadcast over KUCI
        airwaves. His music has since become KUCI staple, and he's been
        featured in the KUCI Program Guide twice. Robert will be featured
        on the upcoming KUCI benefit compilation, "Loraine."

Surface 10 (Live Performance)
        Surface 10's Dean DeBenedicts hails from Santa Monica. His new
        material combines cutting-edge IDM music with the time-tested
        influence of electronic music's pioneers. He has one self-titled
        release on the Hypnotic label, and another one on the way. He's
        featured on numerous Hypnotic compilations and will be featured on
        the upcoming KUCI benefit compilation, "Loraine."

Lexaunculpt (Live Performance)
        Lexaunculpt is a fairly new addition to southern California's
        electronic road map. Alex Graham has performed under the monikers
        Hazel Window and Your Choroid Coat, before settling on
        Lexaunculpt. Isophlux records will release a track of his on their
        upcoming "Dirty America" compilation and will later release a
        Lexaunculpt EP. Orange, a new OC label founded by IDM web master
        extrodinare Gonzi Merchan will also be releasing a Lexaunculpt
        single. Alex will be featured on the upcoming KUCI benefit
        compilation, "Loraine."

Chowderhead (DJ)
        Chowderhead, known to fellow knights of the turn tables as Dave
        Mosso, has been shaking up Orange County for years. A native San
        Franciscan and graduate of UCI's studio art program, Dave got his
        start as a wee lad up at KUCI. After revolutionizing OC's
        airwaves, he's moved on to form Nightnoise, The Gypsy Den's Sunday
        Night chill-out weekly. Thinking that any free time is wasted
        time, he's started the Nightnoise E-mail cavalcade and joined up
        with guitar manipulator extrodinaire G.E. Stinson to from the
        improvisational sound collective known as The Splinter Group.

The 9-5 SuperSpy (DJ)
        I've lived in Huntington Beach since I was in diapers. I do a
        weekly radio show entitled Space Disco For Fish Tacos and when I'm
        foolish enough I write articles and reviews for Fix, the OC Weekly
        and the KUCI program guide. In addition, I'm founding Peach, my
        joint record label and design company. I claim to be the utmost
        authority on fish tacos, and I think that Jim Washburn needs to be
        hog tied in a Mexican prison for having the audacity to write that
        Super Pollo has better fish tacos than Wahoo's or the Tacos De
        Salmon at Taco Mesa.

Christopher Robin (DJ)
        I've known this noise junky since the fifth grade. We spent an
        unhealthy amount of time playing Nintendo and watching Robotech,
        and not much has changed. Chris hosts Lnchpl.e.rotic.x.fix.e.ation
        (don't ask) and Riders Of The Plastic Groove (Alongside DJ Kyle).
        With some friends, he concocted last summer's outdoor weekly
        "Green Eggs And Ham" and Halloween's "Sleepy Hollow." For you GEAH
        types, the refugee opossum family in my garage heard that they
        might be doing something again soon.

Mr. Lumpy (DJ)
        Poor Mr. Lumpy. Also known as Steve Center, this funky monkey
        busted breakbeat all over OC's airwaves for years. THE MAN,
        fearing a revolution, forced Mr. Lumpy to shave his head and
        deported him to Torrance. If that wasn't enough, the humiliating
        corporate stiffs that run his cell block make him wear a suit and
        tie (the white man's noose). After an unfortunate shower incident
        and a light sentence for good behavior, Mr Lumpy's probation
        allows him to bust out the funk (in moderate doses) every Sunday
        at Nightnoise and the occasional conjugal visit like this one.
