The Darts

THE DARTS formed in 2016 with the goal of making great all-girl garage-rock noise, see the world, and have a fab slumber party every night. We threw on some vintage black slips, threw off our shoes, and set out on the adventure. The lineup is: Nicole Laurenne (vocals/organ), Meliza Jackson (guitar), Christina Nunez (bass), and Mary Rose Gonzales (drums).

In 2023, Alternative Tentacles released Snake Oil, our fourth full-length record, funded entirely by fans. Snake Oil was co-produced by Jello Biafra himself and got rave reviews worldwide. The summer of 2023 saw a massive 10- week European tour with special European versions of Snake Oil, we had sold-out shows in Madrid, London, Cherbourg, Edinburgh, and many more amazing places, and played Munster Raving Looney Party, Relache Fest, Festival Beat, Loungefest, Muehlen Madness, and Freakout Fest. We quickly sold out the first pressings of the new record in both the US and Europe in two months and second pressings were rushed out on both continents.  In the midst of all of this action, we went back into the studio with legendary producer Mark Rains in Los Angeles and.. our next full-length album, Boomerang, is due out in Spring 2024 on Alternative Tentacles.
