Garage haze to neon polish
The L.A. trio blends dreamy psych, synth pop, and pocket funk built on warm bass and soft focus guitar. They grew by home recording loops and hooks, turning garage sketches into glossy songs. Sharing the bill, a Caracas born alt rock unit adds tight riffs, bilingual hooks, and a clean pop punch. The arc likely slides from hazy mid tempos into crisp, sing strong closers.
Songs and the room
Likely song picks include
American Spirits,
Eclipse,
Te Lo Adverti, and
Caiga La Noche. The crowd skews bilingual and curious, with thrifted knits, vintage soccer tops, and people jotting set notes on their phones between songs. Trivia worth catching: the L.A. band favors Juno like synth pads live, while the Venezuelan group rebuilt its base in Mexico City to keep momentum. For transparency, these selections and production hunches come from past patterns and may differ night to night.
Between sets: Inner Wave x Los Mesoneros fan micro scenes
What you see and hear around you
You will spot wide leg pants, chunky sneakers, soft cardigans, and a few throwback soccer jerseys from Latin American clubs. Fans swap language mid sentence, then belt every Spanish hook like a block party. Chant moments pop during drum breaks, with short clap patterns and call and response yells after big guitar hits.
Souvenirs and small rituals
Merch leans simple and clean, with two color ringer tees, lyric zines, and tote bags that match the pastel palette. Polaroids and small film cams appear between songs, then vanish once the bass drops back in. People linger to compare favorite deep cuts and talk gear, not just pose for the feed.
Tonecraft, tempos, and the glue between Inner Wave and Los Mesoneros
Groove first, gloss second
Vocals tend to sit soft in the mix, with breathy leads supported by close harmonies on choruses. Arrangements leave space for bass and drums to carry the pocket, letting synths paint the edges. Guitars switch between clean shimmer and tight, palm muted patterns to make the snare pop.
Small tweaks that change the feel
Many songs start a touch slower live so the low end breathes, then finish slightly faster for a gentle lift. One subtle trick is a short pre chorus break where keys and kick keep pulsing while vocals take a dry, upfront line. When the alt rock side takes over, tom heavy fills and unison hits give choruses a decisive push. Lighting follows the music, using warm washes on grooves and cool strobes on endings without stealing attention.

Why these fit
Chicano Batman brings psych soul colors and organ shimmer that land in the same mellow, head nod lane.
The Marias match the crisp, stylish staging and breathy hooks that turn mid tempo songs into slow dance moments. All four acts court a crowd that likes melody first and dance floor second. They value texture, bilingual warmth, and short, memorable guitar phrases. If those traits hit for you, this bill sits squarely in range.
