🎶 About the Mall Rats
Step back in time and embark on a musical journey through the iconic era of flannel shirts, neon jackets, and alternative rock. Mallrats is not a band; it's a time machine transporting you straight into the heart of a 90’s party filled with iconic sing-along rock.
The mission is crucial: recreate the authentic sound and energy of the '90s, and become immersed in the celebration of an era. With a visual production far exceeding expectations, Mallrats perform in front of a 24’ video wall encompassed by an explosive display of confetti cannons and a high-intensity performance all contained inside a luminescent haze. Scha-wing!
So, dust off your Doc Martens, log into an AOL chatroom and tell your friends we are a "go for launch" into the sonic landscape of the '90s.
Let's get ready to Rumble!
