Jelly of the Month Club helped Snoopy's Legendary Rooftop Concert go viral with their Ozzy tribute

Thundering drums and shredding guitar solos cut through the crowd as pyrotechnics and streamer cannons blast. The energy and production feel like a show at the Hollywood Palladium or the Forum, but we're at Knott's Berry Farm, on the rooftop of a big red doghouse - that is if we can suspend our disbelief for an evening. The educational rock band Jelly of the Month Club along with guest musicians Charlie Brown, Lucy, Schroeder and Linus set up the show's finale

The Best Bang for Your Buck Events in Portland This Weekend: Feb 1315, 2026

It turns out The X-Files is easily adapted from your favorite '90s paranormal TV adventures into a super silly on-stage sketch show. Kickstand Comedy's fully improvised performance keeps all of your favorite tropes: the will-they-won't-they love story, the monster of the week format, and the runaway conspiracy theories. Starring comedians Tessa Waring and Mo Merrill as Scully and Mulder, expect high sexual tension, audience suggestions, and jump scares even the performers don't know are coming.

Bendetta's "Headshot" - A Bold Exploration of Anger and Self-Control - KALTBLUT Magazine

Bendetta's latest single, "Headshot," captures the moment when something shifts: when violent thoughts arise, yet the urge to maintain control prevails. This track navigates themes of anger, boundaries, and the conscious decision to no longer absorb harm without letting it transform you into the one inflicting it. Rather than offering comfort or resolution, "Headshot" demands clarity: it focuses on naming feelings, standing firm within them, and refusing to downplay their significance.

Like so many 20 year olds before him, Zion Battle found something transcendent in Joshua Tree National Park.

Then, in 2024, he left behind his academic training to begin making music as Katzin, exploring a more intimate sound shaped by a healthy love for the bedroom dream pop of early Orchid Tapes releases and the fuzz of 1990s indie rock.

For years, Angel Du$t was Justice Tripp's balmy reprieve from Trapped Under Ice.
