Twist Off and The Dollheads are two of the latest local bands to announce festival news, with the alt-rock trio making its Punk Rock Bowling debut on May 24-27, and The Dollheads, a promising young trio of teens, returning to the UK this August for Rebellion Festival.
February also proved to be a fruitful month for Latin psychedelic rockers Viaje Nahual, who will share a stage with Interpol at the Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas on May 10. Secos acquired a similar buzz last year when it played a sold-out show with Keanu Reeves’ Dogstar at Brooklyn Bowl. The Mexican alt-rock band made Vegas proud with a recent sesh on Jam in the Van (stream it online, it’s worth the click), and they are currently shooting their shot in NPR’s Tiny Desk contest. Fingers crossed.
Singer-songwriter Sonia Barcelona also brought Vegas into the spotlight recently after her track “Heart Station’’ aired on episode two of Netflix’s The Brothers Sun, starring Michelle Yeoh.
The hits keep coming as rapper Ekoh, arguably one of the hardest working musicians in town, announced he’s collaborated with Vans on a custom-made Heart Hop Ekoh shoe, which was available at his Denver show in February. Additionally, he’ll hit the road with From Ashes to New for the second leg of the acclaimed rock band’s Blackout Tour Part 2.
