Live & Featured

LIVE

Die Spitz

Die Spitz is a mayhem-inciting force founded in January 2022. The quartet (Ava Schrobilgen, Chloe Andrews, Ellie Livingston, and Kate Halter) is known for their unruly stage presence, bombarding their crowds with a wall of sound. Die Spitz continues to penetrate the music scene with unparalleled momentum, sharing stages with heavy hitters Amyl and the Sniffers, L7, and OFF!. These childhood friends turned musicians have recently premiered a double EP on vinyl, The Revenge of Evangeline and Teeth, capturing this live energy. As Lee Ackerley of Austin Monthly put it: “youthful moxie has never sounded so good”.

LIVE

The McCharmlys

THE MCCHARMLYS are a five-piece combo from Santa Ana, Calif., currently taking the scene by storm with their stylish blend of doo-wop, surf, beat & 60s style rock ‘n’ roll. LA Weekly called the band “an absolute joy” as they “recall sounds from past while adding a contemporary edge that is attractive to punk, new wave and rockabilly fans.”

LIVE

Nobody’s Baby

Nobody’s Baby is a band that set out to make midcentury realism with a psychedelic nightmare backdrop. Everything is from scratch - from recording/producing to building their own guitar amps. Atmospheres of sludgy fuzz to tight harmonies. Wonder to hysteria. Mood swings and dead boyfriends. Blackout drunk Screamin Jay Hawkins. Buddy Holly post plane crash. But there’s no hero worship to be found here. The quartet write a letter to their musical idols. The note is written in vintage fuzz pedals, trashcan reverb and pounding cave dweller drums. The result is a death doowop funeral parade and everyones invited.

LIVE

Lost Puppy Forever

Lost Puppy Forever, two of the luckiest dogs on Earth. One night were in their music studio, Feral Cat Studios. They were visited by aliens who gave them a spaceship with a powerful pizza beam that would allow them to bounce between Earth and Space spreading their Outsider, Sci-Fi, Dog Doo-Wop to the entire Universe creating the most awesome music about dogs for people. 

Lost Puppy Forever, is Scarlet and Boom Puppy. A two-piece band of drums and bass featuring Scarlet on bass and vocals and Boom on drums and vocals. Lost Puppy Forever is original outsider sci-fi punk n’ roll music delivered with a driving, of punk rock influences. Inspired by The Cramps, Ramones, JFA, Melvins, 5-6-7-8's, Daniel Johnson, and Royal Blood to name a few and the love of skateboarding, pizza, aliens, and monsters.

2018, Year of the Dog (EP) was recorded at Weekend at Merls by Terry Yerves and mastered by Adam Gonsalves of Telegraph Mastering. The EP was recorded during the actual Year of the Dog to celebrate a complete twelve-year Chinese lunar cycle. From the opening catchy riffs of “Chow Nasty” to the dark-inspired riffs of “Dirty Bomb Meatball” Lost Puppy Forever has a wide range of original songs with an energetic visual stage show.
