The Format's style can be considered a mixture of both indie and alternative, and is difficult to place in any one particular genre due to their use of various stylistic influences. Named to make fun of the music industry's inclination towards a cookie-cutter "format" for a hit, the duo's first single, aptly titled "The First Single," from their five song demo, EP, became locally popular and led to the two signing with Elektra Records in 2002. After some major label ups and downs Nate and Sam decided to release their latest EP "Dog Problems" in 2006 themselves through the newly established Vanity Label. Recently, a few of The Format's songs have been used on the hit MTV show Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, including "The First Single" and "Wait, Wait, Wait." They also made a quick appearance on the MTV show My Super Sweet 16, on which they performed at a birthday/graduation party for Priya and Divya Kothapalli.

scheduled openers: The Honorary Title, Limbeck, Steel Train, Ruben's Accomplice
