High Fade - Twice as Nice Tour
With Brass Camel
Sunday, June 28th 2026
Outside in the Volcanic Courtyard
Genre - Funk Rock
Doors @ 6PM - Show Starts @ 7PM
Presale - $20 Door - $30
Funk/Rock trio High Fade–consisting of founder Harry Valentino (Guitar, Vocals), OliverSentence (Bass, Mustache) and drummer Heath Campbell (Drums) has grown from Scotland’s most excited busking band into a household name across the world after bursting onto the scene with viral sensations such as“Burnt Toast & Coffee”, “Gossip”,“Burnin’”,and an audacious cover of Herbie Hancock’s“Chameleon”. Sold out tours across the UK, USA, and Europe have seen the band get well over 1,500 shows under their belt, allowing High Fade to fast become one of the most ferocious touring bands on the planet. Delivering shows that are packed with raw energy and jaw-dropping musicianship,thye refuse to accept the limits of what a three-piece band can do.
With soldout tours across the UK, USA, and Europe; and impactful slots at dozens of festivals like Boomtown (UK), Suwannee Hulaween (USA) and Glastonbury–where they performed three times in one day in 2024–High Fade have come a long way from that street corner in Edinburgh. Drawing inspiration from funk, rock, disco, jazz, metal, punk, soul, and beyond, High Fade has developed a sound that explodes out of a rip-roaring melting point of musical influences and tears at the fabric of space time by managing to feel simultaneously fresh and retro. Firecly independent, the band releases music via their own label RPN Records(“Rippin’Records”), including their debut album, Life’s Too Fast(2024), which charted in the UK, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, USA, and Australia. Not bad for an independent DIY band operating entirely outside of the Major Label system. High Fade’s sophomore LP, Twice As Nice, due for release on RPN Records May 2026, was recorded at two of the world’s most renowned studios, East Iris Studios in Nashville and RAK Studios in London. The hotly anticipated new album arrives just in time for the band’smassive 50-date Twice As Nice tour that will bring the band to all corners of the USA and Canada this Spring and Summer.

Mickey Avalon - 20 Year Anniversary Tour
Friday, July 17th 2026
Outside in the Volcanic Courtyard
Genre - Rap / Hiphop
Doors @ 6PM - Show Starts @ 7PM
Presale - $30 Door - $40
Mickey Avalon’s life story plays out like an episode of VH1′s ‘Behind The Music,” marred by personal tragedy, triumphs and immense pain. Avalon’s back-story begins on the streets of Hollywood, California. Raised by his heroin-addicted father, he began selling pot at a young age, a trade he acquired from his mother. In an attempt to clean up his act, Mickey converted to Orthodox Judaism in his late teens, an effort that didn’t last due to constant family tragedy, such as his father’s death in a tragic drunk driving accident.
By his early 20s, Mickey had married, had a daughter, and moved out of California, relocating to Portland, Oregon. The serine surroundings of the Pacific Northwest couldn’t hide Mickey from his past for long, as his drug addled Hollywood lifestyle caught up with him in the form of an uncontrollable heroin addiction. As his life neared rock bottom, Mickey found himself broke, divorced, and turning to prostitution, just to support his smack habit. With a desire to once again get his life back on track, Avalon moved in with his sister, and the pair set out on the road to recovery. Tragedy struck again when his sister relapsed, and died from a heroin overdose.
After the deaths of both his father and sister, Mickey decided that he wanted more out of life, moved back to Los Angeles, and chose to make one final attempt to clean up his act. Shortly after his return, Mickey was befriended by ex-MTV VJ Simon Rex (aka Dirt Nasty), who encouraged Avalon to pursue his passion of hip-hop and even collaborated with him on some tracks. At the time, Avalon was staying in a sober living facility and had a strict curfew, so Dirt Nasty began passing out Mickey’s demo at Hollywood clubs, which helped Mickey develop a following among fans of the Los Angeles nightclub scene.
As Mickey’s popularity grew, he began to sell out clubs throughout California with his legendary live show. Soon after Interscope Records took notice of the guerilla promotions tactics and signed Avalon to the label in 2005. Through Interscope, Avalon released his now classic self-titled debut album, which showcased his unique rhyming style and indulgent lyrics. Inspired by his experiences on the streets with drugs and prostitution, the raw honesty of his songs immediately resonated with audiences. Fan favorites “Jane Fonda,” “Mr. Right” and “My Dick” quickly spread across the internet and mainstream radio, turning Mickey Avalon into a household name. Avalon quickly took to the road and was performing sold-out shows alongside the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Travis Barker and DJ AM, Snoop Dogg, Stephen Marley and Slightly Stoopid.
Mickey’s contagious demeanor and unique writing style has made him a hot commodity in the music industry as hip-hop artist Young Jeezy and producer Jermaine Dupri jumped at the chance to collaborate with him for a Boost Mobile commercial. Avalon then joined forces with rock acts the Happy Mondays, and Unwritten Law, with whom he co-wrote the radio hit “Shoulda Known Better”. His music has been featured in countless movies and television series including the HBO’s series Hung, the animated series American Dad, the Duke Nukem Forever video game, Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay and most recently in the trailers for the Cameron Diaz film “Bad Teacher.”

Serpentfoot w/ Milk for the Angry and Sungrater
Outside in the Volcanic Theatre Courtyard
Sunday, July 19th 2026
Genre - Psychedelic Rock / Garage Rock
Doors @ 5PM - Show Starts @ 6PM
BOY HOWDY
FUN & ROWDY
STONEY LOUDY
SWEATY CROWDY
Serpentfoot is a psychedelic garage rock group based in Tacoma; The gritty heart of Washington. From the beginning the rowdy three piece has pumped out everything from jangly surf punk bops to soaring psychedelic compositions. No sound is sacred and no ears are safe. Sonically Serpentfoot bumps shoulders with acts like Osees, Slift, and King Gizzard while simultaneously stirring a dose of occult madness into the brew. The pure electricity and party atmosphere of the live experience is the real centerpiece.
Lead guitarist and vocalist Jordan Twiggs gives off an energetic aura of controlled chaos and tickles the ear with relatable, yet refreshingly creative guitar work and a wide range of unique vocal stylings. Bassist and songwriter Philip Shellabarger has an untameable live energy and a similarly unique playing style, merging surf and punk with fuzzed out stoner riffs. Ryan Schilawski smashes away at the drums like an unstoppable train engine. Constant and sustained energy with bursts of mind-bending complexity buries the group solidly into the shadowed realm of heaviness.
Milk for the Angry -
Milk For The Angry were born in the hills outside San Francisco in 2017, and have been fermenting ever since in crash spaces and warehouses around the Bay Area. Since their formation, they have released five albums and an EP, in the process experimenting with fuzz and buzz as well as various psychedelic avenues to arrive at the rounded glow of their latest release “Powder Trails on Fire”.
Live, Milk For The Angry bring their proud and colorful freak flags and don’t fly them more than wrap them around your face and twirl viciously. Their shows are caches of raw energy, incessant and unpredictable, exciting and electric, the sorts of affairs you end up getting gloriously lost in. And probably because they’re better at the actual ‘art’ bit of being a band than the ‘selling your ass’ bit.
They had a brush with mainstream media in January 2019 when Fox KTVU 2 did an article about an impromptu jam they had with their neighbor Cleopatra coined " The Jumper Cable Jam," which quickly became an internet smash. Since then Milk For The Angry has also been featured on A&E twice, once on “Neighborhood Wars” and again on “Neighborhood Wars: The Aftermath.”
The lineup currently consists of Dana Lindstrom (vocals, guitar), Michael Masters (guitar, vocals), Zach Zepeda (bass), and Eddie Virtgaym (drums).
Sungrater -
Sungrater is a psychedelic garage rock band from Bend, OR featuring Andrew Egli (guitar), Rory Isbell (bass), Sean Garvin (drums), and Tarik Rawlings (guitar/vox)

Futurebirds w/ Deloyd Elze
Friday, July 24th 2026
Outside in the Volcanic Courtyard
Genre - Altcountry
Doors @ 6PM - Show Starts @ 7PM
Presale - $25 Door - $35
"I'm movin' on," Daniel Womack sings during the first minute of Easy Company, an album that finds Futurebirds — once the best-kept secret of Athens, GA's music scene, now a beloved act on a national scale— back in the driver's seat, speeding together toward some new horizon.
Momentum. Evolution. Expansion. Those are important traits for a critically-acclaimed group that recently celebrated its 15-year anniversary. "When you've been a band for as long as we have, there's a lot of moving on," says Thomas Johnson. "We just keep going, because that's how you keep things fresh. That's how you keep the spark." By matching the sharply-written songs of three distinct frontmen with a progressive mix of rock & roll, electrified folk, and cosmic American roots music, Futurebirds have built an audience that's as wide as the band's own sound. With Easy Company, Futurebirds' fifth studio album, that sound reaches a new peak.
Featuring four songs apiece from singer/songwriters Womack, Johnson, and Carter King, Easy Company feels like a celebration of the tight-knit bonds that have held Futurebirds aloft since 2008. Back then, the guys were college students at the University of Georgia, building a buzz around town with shows at fraternity houses and local bars. Years later, they've become headliners at bucket-list venues like The Ryman and The Fillmore, collaborating with fellow genre benders like My Morning Jacket's Carl Broemel along the way. They team up with new partners on Easy Company, which was recorded with producer Brad Cook in the border town of Tornillo, TX. The guest list includes Waxahatchee's Katie Crutchfield, who trades verses with King on the album's title track, and Drive-By Truckers co-founder Patterson, who delivers a spoken-word monologue during "Soft Drugs." A brass section even makes a brief appearance. The result is a bold blend of old and new, delivered by a band of brothers who've never sounded so invigorated. Easy company, indeed.
"We've made a concerted effort to challenge ourselves, always finding new angles to look at this thing we've been doing for more than 15 years," says King. "What hasn't changed is the core of this band. We still have three songwriters. We still have our original bass player, Brannen Miles. When you come this far together, your walls come down and you realize that these friends know exactly who you are, and you know exactly who they are, and it's such a relief when everyone can just be themselves. It's great company to be in, and it's so much better for the art."
Futurebirds kickstarted Easy Company's creation with a week's worth of live-in-the-studio performances. For a group of road warriors who'd already logged thousands of hours onstage, this was an opportunity to capture the sheer energy of a Futurebirds show — the same show that prompted Rolling Stone to dub the band "the most captivating rock act touring today" — on tape. "People sometimes see us live and say, 'It sounds so energetic, big, and full onstage, but some of your earlier records don't really capture that,'" King explains. "That was something we talked to Brad Cook about. We wanted to find that live magic in the recording studio. We wanted to move fast and stay in the moment."
The results speak for themselves. Praised by USA Today for "mixing Neil & Crazy Horse with My Morning Jacket" on their previous records, Futurebirds defy comparisons altogether with Easy Company. "Colorados" pays tribute to the Centennial State with sunny vocal harmonies and Kiffy Myers's searing pedal steel. "Bloom" begins with a solitary acoustic guitar, then gives way to thick, reverb-soaked soundscapes. Drummer Tom Myers take a bow during "Solitaires," a song driven forward by deep, Deadhead-worthy grooves, while keyboardist Spencer Thomas adds gauzy atmosphere to tracks like "Feel Less Bad." It's easy to imagine those songs becoming highlights of the band's concerts, joining audience favorites like "Trippin'" as setlist staples, but Easy Company wears its studio-album status proudly. It also marks the first time Futurebirds have handed over the reins to an outside producer. Free to focus exclusively on the music itself, they've never sounded so dynamic. The loudest moments reach a new peak of big-budget crescendo. The softer moments evoke cozy campfires and front-porch guitar pulls. Brad Cook captures the full range of those performances, but it's the bandmates themselves who make Easy Company sound, well, easy.
"We've never thought of ourselves as one particular kind of band," says Womack. "That's important for longevity, because we're always recreating ourselves and finding ourselves all over again. I don't think we're done with that process. We're always ready for more."
For Futurebirds, the road goes on forever. Easy Company is the latest stop on a journey that's still unfolding, winding its own path through American rock & roll, giving Futurebirds and the grassroots community they've created — the Birdfam — a new place to land.
