The Scarlet Opera tops our BottleRock Napa 2024 highlight list

May 28, 2024

Every year BottleRock brings us that one band that stands out from all the rest and arrives at the top of our highlight list. This year the honors are taken by an up and coming LA rock band, The Scarlet Opera. The band is led by lyricist and frontman Luka Bazulka and and equally talented band members; Colin Kenrick [keyboard], Daniel Zuker [bass], Justin Siegal [drums], and Chance Taylor [guitar].   If I had to simply describe them, it would be; imagine if Queen, Styx and My Chemical Romance had a musical orgy. They are a mesmerizing fusion of glam rock, alternative and pop, bringing to life a dynamic and theatrical performance. The band delivered electrifying guitars, catchy synth-driven melodies and powerful captivating vocals, creating a soundscape that is both nostalgic and contemporary. Their stage presence is equally captivating with dramatic lighting and engaging choreography, transporting the audience into a world where music and theater collide. From the moment they hit the stage I was completely enthralled and their charisma throughout the set never wavered [Read More]
