In celebration of their 30th anniversary, iconic Los Angeles record label Stones Throw Records is hosting one of the most uniquely experimental lineups we’ve seen in recent years from October 16th-18th.

This is not a lineup that Janky Smooth readers will want to miss with N8NOFACE, Automatic, Los Retros, Mild High Club, Egyptian Lover, Sudan Archives, Bardo, J.

Younger crowds showed up early to watch local favorites Tropa Magica, The Hurricanes, and Jurassic Shark play on much larger stages than the bands usually get the opportunity to perform on, and each enjoyed a well-received set. related content: Janky Meets Marty: The Dwarves At
