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).   In the first year, we put out two self-produced EPs, signed with Dirty Water Records (UK), and released our first  full-length vinyl release, Me.Ow (2017 Dirty Water Records). We headed to Europe a bunch of times and never  wanted to come home. Dirty Water re-released the first two EPs as a second full-length vinyl, The Darts (2017  Dirty Water Records) and we toured all over the U.S. with great bands like The Living End and Billie Joe Armstrong’s The Longshot. Our idols started noticing, including author Stephen King, actors Drew Carey and Fred Armisen, and punk legends Jello Biafra and Blag Dahlia, sometimes even coming to shows and getting on  stage with us. Two years into the project, we were on bigger European stages like Sjockfest, Cosmic Trip, and Roots n Roses, with acts like Turbonegro, The Flaming Lips, and The Dead Kennedys.  In 2018, Jello Biafra signed us to his label, Alternative Tentacles and released our first 7-inch Bullet and then  our third full-length record, I Like You But Not Like That (2018 Alternative Tentacles Records), at a packed Punk  Rock Bowling appearance in Las Vegas. We then went on an unforgettable US tour with The Damned. We per formed at US festivals with bands like Rancid and L7, had songs placed on top tv shows like Peaky  Blinders, got great reviews in Rolling Stone, and made a stop at Mexico City’s Hipnosis Fest. Even during the pandemic, things didn’t stop. Vox hosted an Instagram Live show garnering over fifty thousand views, we played Punk Rock Bowling 2022, made our debut at Seattle’s Freakout Fest, recorded a 7-inch for Adrenalin Fix Mu sic in Europe, and, in 2022, took our EP Love Tsunami on tour all over the US and Europe and performed on the  legendary KEXP Sessions.   In 2023, Alternative Tentacles released Snake Oil, our fourth full-length record, funded entirely by fans. Snake Oil was co-produced by Jello Biafra himself and got rave reviews worldwide. The summer of 2023 saw a massive 10- week European tour with special European versions of Snake Oil, we had sold-out shows in Madrid, London,  Cherbourg, Edinburgh, and many more amazing places, and played Munster Raving Looney Party, Relache  Fest, Festival Beat, Loungefest, Muehlen Madness, and Freakout Fest. We quickly sold out the first pressings  of the new record in both the US and Europe in two months and second pressings were rushed out on both conti nents.   In the midst of all of this action, we went back into the studio with legendary producer Mark Rains in Los Angeles  and.. our next full-length album, Boomerang, is due out in Spring 2024 on Alternative Tentacles.

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. 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.
