Fortunate Youth

Fortunate Youth at Fremont

From backyard BBQs in Southern California beach towns to its rise as one of the most popular reggae rock bands in the country, Fortunate Youth remains devoted to its roots and a simple mission: Spread peace, love, and unity with music.  It's a mantra of sorts for the multi-faceted sextet from Hermosa Beach, driving a relentless thirst for live performances and an ever-evolving cache of original material dotted with influences of blues, ska, rock, world, soul, and punk. Dedicated to performing live, the ensemble has logged countless miles across the globe, with F.Y. supporting brethren such as Slightly Stoopid, Stick Figure, and SOJA.

Psychedelic Porn Crumpets

Psychedelic Porn Crumpets at Fremont

Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, hailing from Perth, Western Australia have been releasing records & touring like dogs for the last 6 years. After a short break to prepare their new record(due May 2025), they're kicking off the new year with a blast of brand new music in the form of "March On For Pax Romana". Recognisable in true inimitable Porn Crumpets style, it's a frenetic journey with a heavy dosage of riffs, pounding bass & thumping drums, but still making space for Jack McEwan's call-to-action vocals to take a lead role. Certain to be a live favourite, "March On.." is a taster of things to come from the bands upcoming 7th record, more details of which is coming soon. After a huge touring year in 2024, with sold out runs in both UK, Europe & North America, the band will be hitting the road in Australia(March 2025), UK/Europe(May/June 2025) and are pleased to announce a series of North American shows(announced Monday 3rd Feb, onsale Friday 7th Feb) April 2025.
