"Last year, local DIY/punk/indie production company Heavy Lemon came up with the best concept for a show ever. A lineup of only brand-new bands, all playing their first show ever. Every band gets 15 minutes; all genres of music welcome. A mini-festival of absolutely fresh, brand spanking new groups."
"This brilliant concept of a show is back, dubbed "New Band New Year 2026." The best part is that even though the formula is the same, the show will no doubt be completely different and filled with lots of new surprises."
"New Band New Year Sat, Feb 7, 7pm, $15 Lion House, San Jose"
Local DIY/punk/indie production company Heavy Lemon created a show concept featuring only brand-new bands playing their first-ever performances. Each band receives a strict 15-minute set, and all genres are welcome, producing a compact mini-festival of fresh groups. The event returns as New Band New Year 2026, promising a different lineup and new surprises despite retaining the original format. The concept emphasizes discovery, risk-taking, and community support for emerging musicians. The event offers an affordable, energetic night of varied music and performance at Lion House in San Jose on February 7.
