ArnoCorps: The Greatest Band of All TimeBased in "San Frantastic" (Oakland), California, ArnoCorps is a musical "rescue team" dedicated to reclaiming ancient Austrian alpine lore from the exploitation of Hollywood. Performing a unique brand of Action-Adventure Hardcore Rock 'n' Roll, they utilize "heroic symmetry" to deliver bombastic anthems like "Predator," "Commando," and "Total Recall". Their legendary live shows are less concerts and more immersive missions, featuring camouflage face paint, on-stage calisthenics, and bodybuilding "posedowns" designed to leave every attendee feeling like a "goddamn hero or shero".A Band of Orcs: The Gore-Stained Axe TribeHailing from the realm of Hirntodia (via Santa Cruz, California), A Band of Orcs is a five-piece "war machine" summoned to Earth when an inter-dimensional trickster named Gruesom Grimp (a gremlin/imp hybrid) decided to summon the next monster rolled on a "random encounter table" by a Dungeon Master (DM), during a high-stakes game of Dungeons & Dragons. Dressed in full orc armor, they unleash a brutal fusion of Orc Metal—a mix of death, thrash, and black metal—intended to awaken their god, Gzoroth, the Dragon of Fire and Chaos. Known for their savage live performances and fantasy-driven concept albums, the tribe utilizes metal as a sorcery for recruiting hordes to their cause through punishing riffs and tribal drum "beat downs" to usher in the Domination.The Spring Raid at the Shanty Shack BrewingA Heroic Clash of Myth and MonstersThis co-headlining event is an energetic, theatrical double-bill where both bands perform full-length sets of equal intensity. Attendees can expect an evening that bridges the gap between heroic action-adventure and dark fantasy lore.The Atmospheric Assault: Expect a crowd adorned in camouflage and war paint, participating in everything from military-style drills to mosh-pit "battalions".A "Ball-Busting" Experience: Fans will experience the headbanging frenzy of A Band of Orcs' tribal rituals followed by the primal, physical "pump" of ArnoCorps’ bodybuilding challengesDual Domination: Whether you are joining a rescue mission or swearing fealty to Great Gzoroth, this show offers a level of audience participation and theatrical world-building unmatched in the Earthrealm heavy music scene.Shanty Shack BrewingLocated in a light-filled warehouse on Fern Street, Shanty Shack Brewing is a vibrant nano-brewery established in 2016.
