ANGEL FACE, THE OKMONIKS, TH’ LOSIN STREAKS & PYPY AT GONERFEST 2024

THE OKMONIKS will be coming to the stage Thursday nite at 7:45

The ‘OKs’, as they address one another, are quartet of true lifers adept at good-times garage rock cheekily self-described as “DMZ-meets-The Lyres” (that is pretty funny), Led by a one Helene 33, this is the exact organ-driven cave-punk party implied by song titles like “Teenage Timebomb”, “Rustle Up Some Action” or “It’s Not You”.

TH’ LOSIN STREAKS will be coming to the stage Thursday evening at 6:15

Sacramento’s longtime enthusiasts of obscure freakbeat and well-dressed but short, sharp and searing freakbeat/60’s garage. Originally active in the 00s and known for their sole 2004 LP, Sounds of Violence, Th’ Streaks broke up in 2010 but returned in 2018 with the This Band Will Self-Destruct In T-Minus LP and third LP, Last House, earlier this year (all on Slovenly).

PYPY will be coming to the stage Friday evening at 7:30

Members of Duchess Says, CPC Gangbangs, Red Mass, and Thee Sexareenos, etc return after a decade absence with the best take on post-punk we’ve heard in recent memory. Equally likely to lock into an ESG/Delta 5 groove with a Hall and Oates hook as it is to grow a hundred foot tall wall of riffs and roll right over you. Upcoming second full-length on Goner!!

ANGEL FACE will be coming to the stage Saturday evening at 8:15

Tokyo’s Angel Face is the latest excuse for Fink of Teengenerate/Firestarter/American Soul Spiders fame to go full parkour on a venue stage. We know this is one of those ‘you had me at ‘Tokyo’…” moments, and you know to expect a lot of incendiary but smiling chaos courtesy of a type of rock enthusiasm we just don’t see very often. Seriously, this band would choose boiled leather jackets as their last meal. Garage Punk royalty from a scene that has spawned some of the best!
