SILVERSUN PICKUPS
10:00pm
Spawned from the LA music scene over 22 years ago, SoCal natives Silversun Pickups are best known for their mix of shoegaze and indie rock. Their debut album Carnavas (2006) featured hits like "Lazy Eye" and follow-up albums like Swoon (2009) and Better Nature (2015) further established their dynamic, atmospheric sounds and emotive live performances. Their latest release, Physical Thrills, contains some of Silversun Pickups’ most stunning songs yet. While the record doesn’t depart drastically from the sound the band’s fans know and love, but rather enhances it with previously-unexplored fixtures at play.
Formed in 2012 in the San Fernando Valley, California, seminal alt-rockers Bad Suns is known for their catchy, 80s-inspired sound blending indie rock and new wave. Wrapping up a national tour in support of Finneas, Bad Suns gained national recognition with their debut album Language & Perspective (2014)- the release spawned hits like "Cardiac Arrest" and "Salt" and have earned them a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim.

Playing a diverse range of songs across multiple genres, they blend humor, nostalgia, and party vibes to every performance making each show a fun, unique and interactive experience for the audience!
Penny and The Flamethrowers are throwback to when rock and roll was based on three chords and rebellion. It's the marriage of Stray Cats fueled rockabilly and Postmodern Jukebox's 40s-style swing covers of popular tunes with a nod to Cash and Cline.
In December 2023, Hoobastank celebrated 20 years since the release of The Reason, their breakout album featuring hits like "The Reason," "Crawling In The Dark," "Running Away," and "Remember Me." The Reason went 4x platinum and has almost 4 billion streams. With a resurgence on TikTok and Netflix's Beef, they now have over 9 million Spotify listeners and sell out shows nationwide.
Veterans of the Austin, Texas underground music scene, Tony Scalzo, Miles Zuniga, and Joey Shuffield originally called themselves Magneto U.S.A., but after signing with Hollywood Records they changed their name to Fastball and charted a string of hits including "The Way,” “Fire Escape,” and "Out of My Head." Blending alternative rock and pop, the band created catchy melodies and reflective lyrics and gained mainstream recognition throughout Texas and beyond.
Aggie grad & Denton, Tx native Jason Kyle Wickens is country through and through. After several years of honing his craft, Jason Kyle Wickens has proven himself amongst the likes of Casper McWade (Hank's Texas Grill, Rockett Cafe), Corey Smith (HoB Houston) & Tom McElvain. From Austin to Arkansas, JKW has been burning rubber since early 2023 with his 5-piece band. From tapping boots at Gilley's to headlining the Texas Theater, JKW is ready to share his upcoming debut album “Red and Blue” with crowds big and small.
