The group is the brainchild of lead vocalist and guitar player Lauren "LG" Gilbert and features an evolving cast of A-team players to back her up for an unforgettable live experience. LG is the embodiment of hustle. As the driving force behind Thelma and The Sleaze, she is the songwriter, the visionary, the take-no-shit-from-anyone front woman that is single handedly keeping rock and roll alive. Thelma and The Sleaze has been touring the US for years building a legion of fans, affectionally called her creepers. The growing social media presence, the hit podcast, the features with Yamaha Guitars are really all the result of her incredible songwriting, visceral guitar playing, and the guts to deliver on her vision of what Rock and Roll should be. <h2>HYPNOTIC PATTERN</h2>—Hypnotic Pattern weaves together the crushing weight of stoner doom, the iconic heaviness of Sabbath-inspired riffs, and the raw edge of '90s grunge to create a sonic journey drenched in mysticism and power. Formed in the heart of Oakland, CA, the band came to life in the living room of bassist Alex. The lineup solidified when drummer Mike, from local psychedelic surf outfit The Helltones, joined forces with Milin, a psych professional by day and psych rocker by night, on guitar. Simone, the band’s magnetic frontwoman and the one who brought them all together through her local music school, delivers spellbinding vocals and handles booking for the band.Hypnotic Pattern explores deep, hypnotic themes of mysticism, interstellar conflict, and witchcraft as a vessel to touch on mental health, love, and loss. Their haunting and heavy sound is grounded by Simone’s powerful voice, making them a standout in the doom and heavy rock scene as a female-fronted band.Since their first show at a Café Racer Motorcycle Rally in San Francisco, they’ve hit the stage at local venues like Elbo Room, opening for the likes of Marrower, Dread Spire, and Three Towers to a packed crowd.With plans to record their debut album and hit the road on a West Coast tour in 2025, Hypnotic Pattern is just getting started in making their mark on the heavy music scene. Prepare to be entranced.<h2>MIMI BYRN</h2>—QUEER. COUNTRY. PUNK. BLUES. OUTLAW.Americana's Rhinestone Tomboy.SINGER-SONGWRITER TELLING THE STORIESTHE GOOD OLE BOYS DON'T!
