Molly Rocket

Molly rocket are an Australian rock band inspired by the independent and underdressed heroes of the 1990’s. Since crashing onto the scene in 2021 they’ve captured the attention of fans locally and nationally with their dynamic, energetic live shows and compelling DIY punk attitude.
Molly Rocket have mastered the art of songwriting, proving true through their trail of memorable, ambiguous and hard hitting songs that have resonated with listeners.
Sea Pipes

Sea Pipes is an indie rock trio formed in 2024. Based in Los Angeles, their songs blend surf, indie, and gritty rock into a fresh, immediate sound.
Their debut EP, The Right Through, earned early support from both KCRW and The SoCal Sound, with frequent features on both stations.
“Unnameable Loss” was named KCRW’s Song of the Day on December 11, 2024, and landed alongside other tracks on Buzz Bands LA’s curated lists. So far in 2025, the band has released three new singles in preparation for their self-titled debut record.
Ceiling Fan

Swapmeet (formerly known as Soursob) is a band based on unceded Kaurna land.
With an ever changing energy and aesthetic, Swapmeet’s sound is at once light-hearted and raw. With indie rock foundations, characterised by sonic experimentation, and a punk spirit, Swapmeet are known in the Adelaide circuit for their playful, chaotic onstage presence.
Winter

The singer-songwriter and guitarist has been a mainstay in Los Angeles’ music scene for over a decade, carving out her own niche of gloriously detailed and eclectic dream pop under the name Winter.
After growing up in Curitiba, Brazil and playing in her first bands in Boston, she relocated to Los Angeles in 2013 and fell in love with the city. She found a sense of belonging in its DIY rock community, the basement of her longtime Echo Park home was host to countless shows and even Winter’s first practices—and she grew attached to L.A.’s cosmic, inspiring aura.
But at a certain point, Samira was craving a change of scenery to facilitate self-growth, a painful, but necessary realization that brought about a move to New York City.
Leading up to her emotional coast-to-coast move, she spent roughly two years writing songs in a transitory state: often in between tours, in different cities, and in various sublets. The resulting 13 tracks became her new LP, Adult Romantix, her debut, the follow-up to 2022’s landmark What Kind of Blue Are You?, and a goodbye love letter to her time in L.A. - Lizzie Mano
Slowmango

Slowmango are a South Australia band who create raw, progressive, and genre-exploring grooves, combining global musical influences with a buffet of funk, psychedelia, jazz, and progressive rock.
Known for their immersive and visually striking live shows, Slowmango have packed out dancefloors around the country and gained a cult following for their infectious grooves and unique flair.
Slowmango’s sound is eclectic and dynamic - embracing lush arrangements which move through rhythms and make bold changes, yet always manage to keep a dance floor moving. They pull inspiration from the deep pockets of the world, incorporating rhythms and melodies found on reissued lost tapes from Africa, Asia and Latin America, the energy and vibrancy of the summers of love in both ‘69 and ‘89, and leanings towards the funkier side of jazz - all with a healthy dose of improvisation.
Ozomatli

If Los Angeles had a soundtrack, it would be Ozomatli. Since 1995, the multi-genre cultural powerhouse has blended Latin, hip-hop, funk, reggae, and global influences into an unmistakable sound that captures the city’s energy and diversity.
Emerging from LA’s politically charged streets, Ozomatli has spent three decades uniting communities through music earning three GRAMMY® Awards, performing at the Hollywood Bowl, and touring the world from New York to Tunisia, Mongolia, and beyond.
Their socially conscious lyrics and infectious grooves have made them a beacon of unity, resilience, and celebration. In 2025, Ozo kicks off the 30 Revolutions Tour, a tribute to three decades of music, culture, and connection. As part of the tour, $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to Sweet Relief and Backline to support mental health services for music industry professionals. As they continue into their fourth decade, Ozomatli stands as a living testament to the past, present, and future of Los Angeles, moving hearts, minds, and dance floors across the globe.
