The Hooten Hallers, Mucca Pazza

$12 no-fee advance tickets on sale now
The Hooten Hallers are a band that was founded by guitarist/lead vocalist John Randall and drummer/ falsetto vocalist Andy Rehm, who performed as a duo and were known for their raucous and often improvised live performances. Paul Weber briefly joined the band in 2013–14 on harmonica and tuba, and wrote several of the group’s songs, such as “She Used to Love My Music” and “Trouble Is”. Baritone and bass saxophonist Kellie Everett joined in 2014 and solidified the group’s line-up as a trio. The Hooten Hallers are a “high-energy blues, soul and rock and roll band known for their gritty Americana roots music”.
Mucca Pazza is an intrepid interdisciplinary instrumental music ensemble from Chicago, IL. Since 2004, they have made a name for themselves playing alarmingly danceable music composed and arranged especially for their implausible instrumentation by band members – original music which defies classification but has bloomed out of manifold influences, from surf to Stravinsky, from Bartok to Zappa, from Esquivel to Ellington. In addition to blaring trumpets, slithering saxophones, clarinets, trombones, and tubas, the band boasts a drumline that seems to share a single nervous system, an entire section of disparate instruments that don’t belong anywhere near a marching band (electric guitars, accordion, violin, and yes, a cello), and contains within its multitudes a cheer squad that performs absurdist cheers and asymmetrical, impressively low-to-the-ground pyramids. No-one has ever been completely certain of the exact number of people in Mucca Pazza. Everyone can be completely certain that this group of weirdos belongs together! Mucca Pazza: embracing the absurd! in solidarity with the improbable!

2023-07-28 21:45 - 23:59
Los Galaxy is a six-piece instrumental funk-fusion band based in Indiana. Initially conceived as a loose collective of like minded artists, they spent their formative days busking on the streets of Fort Wayne before evolving into a fully-formed band. Since then, they have become an integral part of the city’s thriving music scene.

Trauma Cat
Trauma Cat are equal parts band and absurdist performance art troupe. Hailing from Syracuse, New York, they call themselves “America’s sorriest power trio” — at once a superlative and a self-own befitting of the strange, tongue-in-cheek musicians at the group’s core.
Co-fronted by guitarist Ralph Kojig and bassist Roman Pando with drummer Rutger DiBoyere, Trauma Cat’s sound is the bastard child of Cake and Tool, or a modern American answer to XTC — a collage of art rock and progressive rock with shades of post-punk, shoegaze, and powerpop. Lyrically, Kojig’s and Pando’s songs often reflect on religion, death, and the internet.

Hardware-based electronic duo from the Midwest

Tropa Magica with Los Lemons
2023-08-12 21:45
“Invigorating”, “brilliant”, and “charismatic” are just a slew of the adjectives used to
describe Tropa Magica. “The East L.A. duo made a name for themselves by combining
alternative, grunge, and psychedelic rock with cumbia” -Spin magazine.

Having toured nationally and on multiple southwest and west coast tours, they have supported
established acts such as Bomba Estereo, Molotov, and comedian Felipe Esparza. The band has
boldly and successfully taken on larger LA stages at venues such as The Microsoft Theater, El
Rey Theater and The Hollywood Palladium.

In 2018 and 2019 Tropa Magica performed at So-Cal festival favorites Desert Daze and
Tropicalia. At the end of 2019 the band self released a limited edition 7inch vinyl EP “Smells
Like Cumbia” featuring Nirvana songs as cumbia renditions.

Despite the pandemic, 2020 has been a fruitful year for the band. They wrote and recorded the
theme song for comedian Felipe Esparza’s new Netflix special and collaborated with the
notorious Foo’s Gone Wild on the “Foo Files Cumbia” track released earlier this year. The band
has partnered up as ambassadors with 805/Firestone Beer and is sponsored by Fender guitars
and Ernie Ball.

Their sophomore LP “Tripiando Al Infinito En Mi Recamara” has garnished appraisal by music
critics:

“…the psychedelic cumbia-punk that David and Rene Pacheco have pieced together over a
decade as Tropa Magica has coalesced into something sublime on their sophomore album”
-Grimy Goods

“they’ve spread their wings sonically while losing none of the charisma that made them a hot
item at festivals…Tropa Magica’s new album, while born in East L.A., will truly be a child of the
world.”
-Buzzbands LA

(To learn a bit more) Tropa Magica has a short documentary that introduces the band nationally
on the well known media and news company “BESE”.

A Light Sleeper, Serepta
2023-08-28 20:00
A LIGHT SLEEPER “Chicago’s a Light Sleeper is an ever-evolving quartet exploring collaborative composition from the bottom up, featuring breezy intertwining melodies from saxophonist Maria Elena Hernandez and violist Traci Newhouse, D. Pennepalli’s idiosyncratic guitar lines, and drummer Matthew Jung’s graceful clockwork core.”
SEREPTA “Serepta (the alter ego of Chicago musician, Hope Arthur) presents a colorful and vibrant experience, weaving together the art forms of avant garde makeup and bedroom pop. Their music explores the possibilities of experimental accordion, and draws from influences such as Bjork, FKA Twigs, Kate Bush, Depeche Mode and Gakuto Kamui.”
