About The Aquabats!:
Since their formation in 1994 in Orange County, The Aquabats have been punk rock's superheroes, dedicated to injecting harmless fun into a music scene that often took itself too seriously. The band was established with a unique vision that includes their iconic Paul Frank-designed “power belts,” trademark rash guards, black eye masks, and “anti-negativity” helmets, along with entertaining onstage antics. This distinctive approach quickly gained traction, earning The Aquabats a fiercely loyal following that spans multiple generations.
About Manic Hispanic:
This punk rock supergroup seems to have been doomed for the “clink-clink” (up the river, the Big House, jail, etc, etc) from their inception in the early 1990's. At a suggestions by a certain member’s PO as an attempt to keep the Barrio safe from these homeboys, Manic Hispanic was formed by members whose illustrious histories have not only included several stints in OC County Jail, but classic bands like The Adolescents, Cadillac Tramps, The Grabbers, Punk Rock Karaoke, The X-Members, 22 Jacks, Final Conflict, and Agent Orange, Left Alone, Death By Stereo and Voodoo Glow Skulls.
About Sullvn:
California collective sullvn crafts a sound that spans ska and reggae, infused with pop-punk melodies and a spirit reminiscent of The Clash. Anchored by an elite lineup - including accomplished bassist James East (Eric Clapton, Elton John, Michael Jackson), guitarist Brian Jordan (James Brown, Dave Matthews Band, The Allman Brothers Band), and powerhouse horn players Gabrial McNair and Stephen Bradley of No Doubt - the band delivers a sound that’s both massive and unmistakably current.
