Berkeley garage rock badasses the Rock N Roll Adventure Kids, an awesome band whose name tells you pretty much all you need to know. A fine choice of wild and relentless firecrackers that will make you bounce like a rubber ball.
They will play on Sunday at noon at Slovenly Party at SALA ROCKSTAR – Calle Gerona 17
The Okmoniks are Helene 33 and three guys, usually — it’s kind of a Bonnie St. Claire & Unit Gloria look. In the current, but ever-changing lineup, Helene plays organ and sings, Sammy plays guitar, Jason plays bass, and Pascual plays drums. They describe their sound as DMZ meets Lyres, and think that’s a very funny joke. The OKs, as they are known in text messages to each other, formed in Tucson in 2000 and relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2009, where they love playing The Knockout, shopping at Thrillhouse Records, and playing pinball at Free Gold Watch. The OKs have three self-released EPs and two LPs on Slovenly Records (that they know of).

COLEGIATA is conceptual project that revives the imagery of schools run by priests and nuns with their gray courtyards, absurd rules, and the restrained irreverence of those who seek to break them.
Synthesizers and drum machines at full speed, adolescent delirium with a mongoloid punk sound.
They will play on Saturday at noon at Cuerdas Fuera party at SALA ROCKSTAR – Calle Gerona 17
Nunofyrbeeswax, formed in 2016 in Berlin as a duo with common love for Beat Happening, Minimalism and Rock and Roll, write and play pop songs as raw as their hearts in a minimal set up. Their music escapes easy associations, however, their sound has been described as an idiosyncratic blend of garage rock, post punk and proto indie -for whatever that means. The essence of their sound channels raw energy, melody and charming amateurism.

King Automatic started out in the mid-’90s as the drummer for the French punk band Thundercrack, but in the early 2000s he switched things up completely, taking the whole “one-man band” idea to a whole new level. Live, he samples and loops organ, guitar, harmonica, and percussion, building a huge sound where he mixes Jamaican rocksteady with rhythm & blues or bebop so smoothly that, if you close your eyes, it feels like you’re hearing a full band (or even an orchestra).
We’re stoked to have him at Funtastic!
From Madrid, Dear Joanne bring a blast of punk, garage and Spanish new wave with attitude to spare. Their live shows are pure ignition: fast, chaotic, and irresistibly fun. With a nod to Las Chinas’ aesthetic and the irreverence of La Movida Madrileña, their catchy, offbeat songs echo Glutamato Ye-Yé and early Pegamoides — packed with humor, hooks, and zero pretension. No agenda, no overthinking — just play loud and have fun.
Les Pick-Ups are a band from Alicante made up of Patricia aka Jenny Fuzz (vocals), Sergi Bordestone (guitar), Sandra aka Shelby Cobra (guitar), TurboPablo (bass), and Alest Bonobo (drums) who move among garage, punk’n’roll and power pop.
With two LPs under their belt—Shake and Break and Bossy Love (the latter released by Disquera La Cucaracha and Sweet Grooves Records)—they’re hitting Funtastic ready to go all out.
Jerry Hormone’s brand new garage punkrawk smash hit machine!! Bringing back the Rip Off Records rumble from the basement to the stage. Young, loud and snotty!!!
Wesley & The Boys are a 4 piece rock and roll band based in Nashville, TN. Equally inspired by 70s NYC rock and roll and 2000s garage rock revival, W&TB bring a high energy show every night. 2025 brought the release of their second album, Rock & Roll Ruined My Life, noted as “predictably magnificent” by see-saw.fun. The band kicked off Gonerfest 22 in 2025 and is slated to perform at Total Punk’s Corporate Retreat in 2026 before heading to Europe in the fall.
Nat Brower is a New York–based composer and multi-instrumentalist who records and produces his albums in his home studio. He also creates his own album artwork, videos, and merchandise. In his spare time, he plays with several “sister” bands, including Josephine Network, Nancy, Metalleg, and the Hershguy Band — the same musicians who join him on stage for their live performances.
With three LPs and four singles to his name, it’s hard to pick a favorite. Brower perfectly captures the glitter and spirit of the glam era, blending fuzz-drenched guitars with vocal melodies that echo timeless icons like Bolan, Bowie, and Brett Smiley. Each song is packed with sugary harmonies, hypnotic laser lights, and a sense of otherworldly spectacle that, in a live setting, sends the energy soaring to stratospheric heights — channeling the spirit of bands like Status Quo, Thin Lizzy, Cheap Trick, and The Beatles.
We’re counting down the days until we can experience his incredible live show!!
