The Red Pears with Ultra Q and The High Curbs

Free concert at Axelrad, 21+ only.

Prepare for a night of electrifying performances with two rising alt-rock acts who blend unique influences into their sound. The Red Pears, the El Monte-based trio of Henry Vargas (vocals/guitar), Jose Corona (drums), and Patrick Juarez (bass) will showcase their fusion of early 2000s New York indie rock and grunge, intertwined with the cumbia and corridos of their upbringing. After meeting at a local Battle of the Bands, they’ve solidified their lineup and crafted a fresh take on alt-rock, drawing inspiration from The White Stripes and The Black Keys.

Joining them is Ultra Q, the brainchild of Jakob Armstrong, son of Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong. With roots in Oakland, Jakob began his musical journey early, channeling his love for Ultraman and punk rock into this dynamic project. Ultra Q delivers high-energy performances infused with deep musical influences and the creative spirit of Bay Area alternative rock.

Get ready for a night of raw, authentic music from two exciting bands on the rise!
