Description

Hailing from Orange County, California, Bite Me Bambi brings sounds reminiscent of British 2 Tone and 3rd wave ska into the 21st century. With energetic songs and pedigree musicianship, BMB gets the crowd on their feet and dancing. Comprised of members from some of your favorite ska bands (My Superhero, Save Ferris, Starpool), this new super group is ready to take the scene by storm. So if you like songs about murder podcasts, strippers, and feminism, then this band is for you! “Needless to say, this band is ska’s next level; their sound and vision is beyond crazy-good. They play a high-energy electric sound reminiscent of all good ska-punk bands with that good ole’ fashion mod-ska underlying rhythmic undertone. On stage they’re off the charts entertaining. I know that’s another bold statement to make, but that’s just how electrifying they are. I’ve seen lots of great bands in my day, and I can honestly say this band is the real deal. From top to bottom, they represent the best of OC ska and with Tahlena at the helm, the sky’s the limit for Bite Me Bambi.” - OC MUSIC NEWS The group’s first show during COVID was a sellout event at a 600-person venue in Southern California, CA (@ $20 ticket), which is being followed by support slots with THE SLACKERS in Chicago and Ann Arbor. Indie rock/Alt rock band Apollo Weekend began in 2017 at a middle school talent show. Then dubbed “Primo”, an homage to their familial relationship, these cousin-friends took the local music scene by storm. Influenced by surf rock, '90s alternative, blues, and punk rock, Apollo Weekend has an immediate and wide appeal. Performing, writing, and recording music together through high school, they found a loyal fan base in their beach hometown of San Clemente, California. They released their first single “Patterns” in 2022. With Lead singer/guitarist Curren, bassist Ethan and drummer Kai. This trio is making waves with their bright sound and brainy lyrics.
