THE DARTS
THE DARTS formed in 2016 with the goal of making great all-girl garage-rock noise, see the world, and have a fab slumber party every night. We threw on some vintage black slips, threw off our shoes, and set out on the adventure. The lineup is: Nicole Laurenne (vocals/organ), Meliza Jackson (guitar), Christina Nunez (bass), and Mary Rose Gonzales (drums).
HOT LAUNDRY
Hot Laundry is a San Francisco outfit kicking out a fresh new take on our beloved rock n roll. Lead singer Janette Lopez will help you forget your worries and have you howling at the moon by the end of the night.
Backed up by her always lovely backup singers and dancers. Ileath Bridges and Gena Serey are 100% genuine rock n roll. Sending you back to the 1960s bad girl garage band days.
The band is dishing out hi-octane rock n roll with hints of Motown, revved up guitars in the vein of MC5, and a heavy dash of delta boogie.
Hot Laundry is serving up working class music. With lyrics reflecting hard work, hard times, love, and dancing all night. -Hot Laundry is rock n roll for your soul.
CUT-RATE DRUGGIST
Before fate brought them together on tour in 2008, Squeaky and hal9000 Beers had been narrowly missing each other's paths while traversing the music circuit. Hailing from the East Coast and Rocky Mountains, respectively, they were continually on the cusp of crossing trails before destiny finally united them on stage. Having journeyed the world through various bands, including Fabulous Disaster, Nobodys, and Year Of The Fist, their paths converged, leading to the formation of Cut-Rate Druggist.
Now firmly rooted in Oakland, CA, this dynamic duo boasts over 16 years of camaraderie, having shared their musical talents in multiple bands. As the driving force behind Cut-Rate Druggist, they've crafted a unique rock and roll experience, characterized by dual vocals intertwined with heavy drums and a bass guitar, culminating in a crushing wall of sound.

THE DARTS (US), now based in Seattle, Washington, formed in 2016 with the goal of making great all-girl garage-rock noise, see the world, and have a fab slumber party every night. The four women threw on vintage black slips, kicked off their shoes, and set out on the adventure. In the first year, the band put out two self-produced EPs and signed with Dirty Water Records (UK), which then released the first full-length vinyl, Me.Ow (2017). Dirty Water then re-released the first two EPs as a second full-length vinyl, The Darts (2017). The band immediately went on tour with The Living End and Billie Joe Armstrong’s The Longshot, and soon found themselves on big European stages like Sjockfest, Cosmic Trip, and Roots n Roses.
In 2018, Jello Biafra signed The Darts to his label, Alternative Tentacles, released their first 7-inch, Bullet (2018) and then put out the third full-length record, I Like You But Not Like That (2018). The band supported their heroes The Damned on a US tour, performed on main stages at big festivals like Punk Rock Bowling, Hipnosis Fest and The Bash, and got placements on top tv shows like Peaky Blinders and reviews in top publications like Rolling Stone. During the pandemic, Vox hosted an Instagram Live session with over fifty thousand viewers. In 2022, The Darts released the EP Love Tsunami on Adrenalin Fix Music (France), toured it around the US and Europe, and performed on KEXP.
In 2023, Alternative Tentacles Records released The Darts’ fourth LP, Snake Oil, funded entirely by fans and co-produced by Jello Biafra himself. The band went on a 100-day European tour, with unique European editions of Snake Oil and sold-out shows in Madrid, London, France, and Scotland, plus appearances at top festivals Munster Raving Looney Party (Spain), Relache Fest (France), Festival Beat (Italy), Loungefest (Holland), and Muehlen Madness (Germany). The first pressings of Snake Oil sold out in both the US and Europe in less than two months and second pressings were rushed out on both continents during the tour.
While juggling the Snake Oil tours, the band recorded their fifth full-length record, Boomerang, with Grammy-winning producer Mark Rains (Hoover iii, Death Valley Girls) at Station House Studio in Los Angeles. Once again the album was released by Alternative Tentacles on different US and EU editions in the March 2024 - and again followed by over four months of touring in Europe, UK, and USA. The album catapulted the band into feature articles in Rock n Folk, Rolling Stone, and many other major publications, plus appearances on France 24 television, BBC radio, a live show at Barlinnie Prison in Edinburgh, and inclusion on many best of 2024 lists. During the massive tour, the band recorded two new singles in Lyon, France.
In 2025, The Darts will release the new singles in June on a compilation of early essential tracks, Nightmare Queens, on Adrenalin Fix Music and on an Alternative Tentacles split 7-inch with labelmates Tsunami Bomb. The band will head out on significant US tours with Dion Lunadon and SERVICE and perform at many more international festivals (Binic Blues Fest in France, BearStone Fest in Croatia, Relache Fest in France, Celebration Days Fest in France, Boneyard Fest in UK, LunaFest in Portugal, CornRock fest in Switzerland, Dollfest in USA, Tough Enough Fest in Belgium, etc).
The touring lineup for 2025 is Nicole Laurenne (lead vocals, organ), Lindsay Scarey (bass, backup vocals), Rebecca Davidson (guitar), and Rikki Watson (drums, backup vocals), plus an appearance by Heather Thomas (drums) in May. The band plans to go back into the studio with Mark Rains in August to record the next full-length LP.

Now firmly rooted in Oakland, CA, this dynamic duo boasts over 16 years of camaraderie, having shared their musical talents in multiple bands. As the driving force behind Cut-Rate Druggist, they've crafted a unique rock and roll experience, characterized by dual vocals intertwined with heavy drums and a bass guitar, culminating in a crushing wall of sound.
In early 2019, Cut-Rate Druggist emerged on the scene, wasting no time in recording and releasing their explosive 5-song self-titled EP under Heart On Records. Their powerful presence on stage earned them opportunities to support renowned acts such as Team Dresch, Beyond The Lamplight, The Avengers, Koffin Kats, Frightwig, TSOL, Margaritas Podridas and Betty Blowtorch.
In 2022, the band released two standout singles: "Run Rabbit Run" and their rendition of the Ramones classic, "Pet Sematary." The same year saw them touring select cities and making waves with a captivating performance on Berkeley's KALX Live! radio program and a remarkable appearance at Bridge City Fest 3.
Undeterred by the challenges of the pandemic, Cut-Rate Druggist seized 2023 as a year of immense creativity and expansion. They embarked on their first international tour to Japan, conquered the U.S. West Coast, and started writing their much anticipated full length album.
In August 2023, the band released "Have You Seen Her?" through the esteemed Australian label, Fantastic Mess Records. The single garnered radioplay across the U.S., U.K. and Australia, further solidifying their international acclaim. Not ones to rest, they quickly put out a split 7”, featuring their own take on the iconic Portland, Oregon band Wipers' track, "Tragedy”, and toured Australia in the fall supporting Brisbane’s own, Glycereens.
2024 saw more songwriting and a full length recording (2025 Release) that will further showcase the creativity and raw power that this 2-piece showcases. In between studio sessions the band managed to tour around the Rocky Mountains, West Coast and a 10 date Japan tour culminating with an encore live recorded performance.
As they continue to captivate audiences with their electrifying performances and unyielding passion, the future holds great promise for this unstoppable rock and roll force.
