Headlining the evening is Los Toms, a psychedelic desert rock band out of Fort Collins, Colorado. The group describes its music as “experiments in extradimensional sound,” blending swirling textures, deep rhythms, and atmospheric jams into a live performance that leans as much into mood as it does volume.

The trio features Nately on bass, synthesizer, and vocals, Casey on guitar and vocals, and Gio on percussion and vocals. Together, the band creates a layered sound that can shift quickly from hypnotic and mellow into loud, explosive passages built to energize a crowd.

Joining Los Toms are Rugburn and Hot Milk & The Flower Pallets, adding even more variety to a lineup that embraces genre-bending creativity and local music culture. Organizers say the night is intended to feel loose, lively, and welcoming — the kind of show where audiences can discover a new favorite band while soaking in the atmosphere of a packed and vibrant live room.

With summer concert season beginning to ramp up in Butte and Southwest Montana, the May 21 show at The Covellite offers another opportunity for live music fans to experience something outside the mainstream while supporting touring and regional artists alike.
