Atomic Walrus is a Los Angeles-bred band best known for their high-energy live shows featuring a unique blend of rock, hip-hop, and funk. Formed after the band's guitarist and drummer met in the backyard of a UCLA co-op, Atomic Walrus cut their teeth playing college house parties before expanding to venues all over LA, from the South Bay to Silverlake. Since then, the band has self-produced and released music, toured CA, and performed for 10,000 people at the Hermosa Beach Summer Concert Series.

Maryland-born, Southern California–based songwriter John Koah makes lyric-driven, guitar-centered music that grew up in bars, lounges, and small spaces with no distance between player and crowd. His new 34-song album, A–Z, Songs From The Tape Deck, was recorded solo and arranged like old four-track cassette demos, with covers and originals side by side in his own keys, voicings, and feel.  The release date is January 1, 2026.
