The Mint, Los Angeles

**The Rusties** formed in 2017 in Culver City, California, (Los Angeles) playing covers, and began writing their own songs shortly thereafter. They infused their passion for Rock 'n Roll standards into their Original music, and have created their own unique sound, reminding the listener what it's like to love music again! www.therustiesband.com **The Motorists** are a local SoCal rock band founded by guitarist Jonathan Gilbert and drummer Paul Watts. They soon recruited vocalist Joshua Hayes and completed the lineup with bassist Paul Watts. Combining alt and hard rock aesthetics with classic rock roots. @the.motorists **BLANCO DIABLO** creates genre hopping grooves infused with improv and voodoo. Forged by the fire of funk, latin jazz and bebop. **Astro Violet**, hailing from Los Angeles, channels the dark energy of post-punk and the pulse of new wave into a high-voltage, moody soundscape. With baritone vocals, haunting synths, and driving rhythms, the trio crafts music that’s both visceral and atmospheric. Steve Wave leads with guitar and vocals, Joe Curet powers the beat on drums, and Alex Grossfield anchors the mood on bass and keys. Blending shadowy textures with relentless energy, their sound evokes the underground spirit of the past while pushing it into the future. https://www.instagram.com/astrovioletmusic/
