The LA Rock Collective presented their July show at The Black Rose LA, featuring a diverse group of massively talented performers.

The Toxhards is a superbly imaginative, genre defying band who really know how to put on an epic show! Progressive in every sense of the word, the musicianship in this band is outstanding! And the live presentation of their just released single Ængus, The Prize-Winning Hog is not be missed! True performance art!

TemperMental is an all-girl band who combine the styles of punk and metal, bringing a thunderous live show to the proceedings. With songs so thoroughly memorable played with a ton of passion and conviction, TemperMental is sure to leave a definitive impact on our local music scene.

Joker’s Hand has been receiving a good amount of recognition performing at the Beachlife Festival in Redondo Beach as well as achieving consistent airplay on the KROQ Locals Only show. Their live performance is intense and impassioned, with set highlights being the wickedly infectious Goth Girlfriend and their brilliant cover of the Nirvana classic Territorial Pissings.

Monty Xon is a solo artist on the rise, whose pop punk anthems display a good deal of promise. This performer has a ton of charisma, and delivers his heart and soul on the stage, Backed by members of the band HVNTED for this particular show, Monty Xon exuded a massive amount of star appeal. Expect to hear a lot more from Monty Xon in the months ahead!
