Mitote
Records was created by Pop Pistol in 2011 as an imprint label to
release their records independently. The label officially expanded its
roster in 2012 with the release of Langton Drive’s self-titled EP as
well as Pop Pistol’s ‘Animal Prisms’ LP. This year, Bite Lip Bleed and
Secrets & Irises joined the Mitote family, each releasing their
respective debut EP’s earlier this Summer. The bands share the same
stage in one night for the first time.
Through
the shared experience of Pop Pistol (Alex Scheel, Jorge Gonzalez,
George Garza) and Ernesto Olivo (Langton Drive), Mitote Records was
initiated to teach other bands how to become self-sustaining. Our goal
is to showcase a diverse group of aspiring artists from our hometown.
Mitote
Records’ first official showcase features electro-rock trio Pop Pistol,
female fronted rock band Langton Drive, ska-punk septet Bite Lip Bleed,
and alt-rock quintet Secrets and Irises. The all ages event will be
held at Jacks Bar (3030 Thousand Oaks), with doors opening at 8pm. There is a $7 cover for minors and $5 cover for adults 21+.
