VERONICA BIANQUI
A triple threat as a vocal powerhouse, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Veronica Bianqui channels the raw energy of garage rock with the passion of classic soul and R&B, all packaged with catchy pop hooks -picture the quirky vibes of early B-52s meeting the indie-pop sensibilities of The Strokes.
Most recently, she is featured on “Wasting Your Time” by Mickey Avalon, produced by Jesse Hughes of Eagles of Death Metal. She has toured as a member of several LA-based bands across the U.S. and Europe. Her past gigs include supporting Kula Shaker in September 2023 at The Regent theater in LA as well as shared bills with Mikal Cronin, The Coathangers, Dead Sara, The Warlocks, Capital Cities, and many other mainstays of the vibrant Los Angeles music scene.
VANITY ROSE
A rising new wave punk/post-punk duo whose raw energy, fearless style and uncompromising sound set them apart from anyone on today’s scene.
Influenced by icons like Iggy Pop, The Plasmatics, X-Ray Spex and Blondie, Vanity brings that same rebellious spirit to the modern era. She’s been featured as an artist to watch in *Vive Le Rock* (alongside a 9/10 album review) and delivered a blistering live set at Danny Boyle’s Sex Pistols Q&A at London’s Southbank Centre during the Queen’s Jubilee, performing for an audience of punk rock royalty.
TOM MCQ
Tom McQ is a modern-day troubadour, often described as the “Mod Dylan” for his poetic lyrics, timeless melodies, magnetic stage presence and soulful, spellbinding sound.
With over 200 original songs, he weaves passion, truth and spirit into every performance, whether busking on London’s streets or commanding major festival stages like Glastonbury.
