The Monsters were formed 1986 in Bern, capital of Switzerland. Their sound is a fuzzedout mix between 60ies garage punk, wild teenage trash rockabilly and primitive rock‘n‘roll and black metal boogie. Its 187% no MTV and top 100 shit! It is simple One-Riff-Trash-Rock. Besides the countless shows in Switzerland The Monsters played extensive tours through Europe including Germany, France, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Austria, England, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Russia and Spain and more. They toured Argentina, Brasil, Japan, USA and Mexico. Needless to say The Monsters are a kickass live band who will burn every stage down. They were on the same bill with acts like Guitar Wolf, The Monks, The Sonics and many more.

Hayride to Hell and The Scalps are support. - It’s gonna be a rockin’ good time.

Los Angeles based musician Charles Moothart (Fuzz, Goggs, Freedom Band) released previous solo work under the moniker CFM. Change is the only universal truth, and now it is time to brandish the full name. Moothart's new album Black Holes Don't Choke (out March 8 via In The Red) is made up of "love songs for the apocalypse." It is his the most self-assured solo release to date. Heavy riffs alternating with spacious tunes, and a live set that vacillates from fast and loose to groovy and heady. Moothart is now touring with the Fast Band, which is comprised of 4 veterans of the Los Angeles music scene with too many credentials to list. This lineup brings a new sense of dynamic while holding on to grit and drive. All of these factors crack open a new chapter for the Californian multi-instrumentalist.

Santa Cruz-based Americana band Flypaper Blues is straight out of your grandfather's rifle barrel.  A little whiskey, coffee grinds, 2-in-1 oil, and a whole lot of fiddle, driving drums, and bass rhythms. This 100% homegrown, local band brings influences from traditional bluegrass, post-punk, ragtime, to alt-country genres.  Songwriting is personal, comedic, and inspired by the existential need to transcend the hazards and pitfalls of modern life with soul-nourishing music.

Meatbodies are guided by the guitar and vocals of Chad Ubovich, a longtime fixture on the California garage punk and new psychedelic scenes who leads the band through an exploration of various types of guitar rock. They started off being influenced by punk, hitting hard while still delivering poppy melodies, then expanded into more psychedelic-inspired territory on 2017's concept album Alice. After some tumultuous years, the band preserved and extended their six-string tendrils in the direction of shoegaze, dream pop, and '90s alternative on 2023's Flora Ocean Tiger Bloom.

Mike Hellman is a country and americana troubadour with a bent for the unconventional. Slinging songs with substance, conviction and grit, he's on a mission to tell his truth and he insists on being heard.

Wiley Gaby is a queer country/folk singer-songwriter based in Brooklyn, NY. With a small-town upbringing in northern Florida, Gaby infuses classic country influences and rural roots with the collisions and stumbles of life in “the big city”. His sincere songwriting packs a punch and his emotional tenor voice brings balladeer vulnerability and melodrama to his music, as NPR Music notes, "swelling into high notes and emoting with sly finesse." Gaby released his debut LP Bridges in 2015 (as Goldenchild with collaborator Jeff Doker), a gorgeous “case study in combining country with pop music and coming out with something that is heartfelt and mature. In other words, real country music.” (Rachel Cholst, Adobe & Teardrops) The Boot featured Gaby and Goldenchild as “10 Queer Country Artists Country Music Fans Should Know".
