CALLING ALL KIDS!! Have the Corpo-bigwigs brought you down? Is there a force of serious bummage serving your life a steaming plate of harsh-browns? Does a lack of pure rock in your life make your tummy feel all icky inside? Well suit up, and look to the sky! No, look back down! Wait, look back up! Spin around three times! ‘Cuz here come THE AQUABATS!!! AGAIN!! Join this band of costume clad crime fighters as they battle all things lame in the pursuit of ultimate radness! Who will win in the ultimate showdown between good and evil?!? That is uncertain, but as sure as the kids are ‘super rad’, THE AQUABATS!… are here to ROCK!

With 16 years and album sales of over 270,000 under their belts, SoCal’s The AQUABATS! are back with their brand new album HI-FIVE SOUP!, ready to shine a much-needed light into our lives, and prove once again that The AQUABATS! – led by the fearless MC BAT COMMANDER (Christian Jacobs, co-creator of the hit children’s television series Yo Gabba Gabba!) – are still a musical force to be reckoned with. The 12 track full-length album features guest vocals from hip hop Legend BIZ MARKIE on lead single “RADIO DOWN!”, a dancey-dance track with enough sugar weight to give your ears cavities, as well as an appearance from Strong Bad on “PINK PANTS!?” Join THE AQUABATS! as they put the AWESOME! back into “THAT BAND IS… AWESOME!!”

The Aquabats – “HI-FIVE SOUP!” is available now.

Dog Party! Catchy melodies, tight harmonies, fuzz pedals and big drums; what more could you possibly want
in a rock and roll band? Formed in 2007 by sisters Gwennie and Lucy Giles, the duo draws influence from the classic sounds of the Ramones as well as contemporaries Ty Segall to synthesize their own unique style. Careful listeners will also notice a nod to bands like Cub and Tiger Trap, the former of Sacramento, CA lineage as well.

Adding a recent tour with Swimmers to their tour credentials that already include tour dates in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, France, and across the Unites States. Dog Party will be hitting the road all summer, including two Southern California Burger Records showcases.

Both play a multitude of instruments, but their live show consists of Lucy on drums and Gwendolyn on guitar with both sisters sharing lead vocal duties. The Dog Party live show owes a debt of influence to old Bikini Kill footage they both have absorbed, and also Sex Bob-omb — that’s right, the fictional band from the cult comic book series Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. They have an uncanny ability to incite nostalgic awe in older audience members, while fueling the fire of frenzied dancing in the younger ones.
