One singer (Mr. Kerosene) dressed like a pimp, one guitarist (Rube Walker) dressed like a mob boss. Two separate bands on the same bill. Flash forward to 2025 and these two have joined forces in LA, along with Ruben's childhood friend and longtime collaborator Ziek Zero, and southern California's most charming Brazilian bassist, Marcelo the Fellow. With their heart-piercing anthems, and their over the top live shows, Frantic Romantic cares about one thing: You. It's about giving you the time of your life. 9:10 - POSTCARDS FOR SYMPATHY These Los Angeles County natives spike guitar fueled hooks into melancholic upbeat nostalgia, alongside scintillating piano and synth work that illuminate its melodious songs into sing-along anthems.

With an electrifying stage presence and a magnetic personality, AVATARI's live performances are a cathartic odyssey of music, storytelling, and honest emotion that leaves audiences exhilarated and transformed. His debut single, "Legacy," caught the attention of Rolls-Royce who licensed it for their Ghost ad campaign. And in ‘23 AVATARI received critical acclaim for his intensely revealing single "High Like This" - Melody Maker Magazine called him a “rising star” in the indie rock scene. His most recent release “Fighter” is quickly winning over audiences with its raw power and identifiable story - it’s about his childhood experience of getting bullied on the playground and how it led to his journey of “self-mastery through martial arts.” Like his logo - a phoenix rising from the ashes - AVATARI’s mission is bold. It is also pure and simple. He’s ferociously confronting his innermost fears to become his highest self and thereby inviting us to do the same “even if we’re just rocking out for a fucking hour.” AVATARI’s challenge to you - let go of your mind; tear away your inhibitions; and join him on a journey of self-discovery and transformation, where the only roadmap is the one you create for yourself.
