Los Angeles psych-punk shapeshifters Frankie and the Witch Fingers have spent the last decade mutating their sound into bold, electrifying new forms. Their latest release, Trash Classic (via Greenway Records and The Reverberation Appreciation Society), plunges into a sewer-slick fusion of proto-punk venom, fractured new wave, and industrial grime. Brimming with wiry synths, angular melodies, and grooves that squirm and bite, it's all delivered with a sly, playful wink. Fueled by relentless global touring and a fierce DIY ethos, the band has shared stages with OFF!, Ty Segall, Oh Sees, Cheap Trick, and ZZ Top, cementing their place as one of the most unforgettable live acts around. Frankie and the Witch Fingers continue to morph, dragging listeners into whatever warped direction their experimental journey takes next.

Special Guest:
Population II is a band dedicated to its disengagement, constantly working on refining their imposing, yet unpretentious sound. A trio consisting of singer/drummer Pierre-Luc Gratton, guitarist/keyboardist Tristan Lacombe and bassist Sébastien Provençal, Population II are masters at both improvised madness and sophisticated composition, delivering heavy psychedelic rock infused with feverish funk rhythms, a hint of jazz philosophy, a burst of energy reminiscent of punk's early days, and a love of minor scales that harkens back to the roots of heavy metal.
Special Guest:
Committeemen are hard to categorize. Pulling apart myriad influences at the seams and weaving something new from the scraps, they veer into territory occupied by bands like IDLES and Osees while keeping one foot planted in the early post-punk of Gang of Four and the other kicking tires with Parquet Courts. The band leaves it all on stage every time out, producing bombastic, sweaty, heart-on-their-sleeves performances that churn the humid Houston night air into a froth.
The band writes about what they know: getting pissed off about the Texas Power Grid, grappling with the weight of the world, or just maligning their friends’ shitty advice over a backdrop of thunderous bass, thumping drums, and a dense whirl of effected guitars. They continue to build a steady following around their energetic live performances, sharing the stage with local and touring acts like The Dwarves, Big Bill, 30 Foot Fall, and the Phlegms. ‘(S)HITS’, the follow-up EP to the much-lauded 2023 'EXTENDED PLAY', releases Summer 2025 on Rue Defense.
