DOPETHRONE / CONJURER / ARMED FOR APOCALYPSE / DAWN FADES
DOPETHRONE, CONJURER, ARMED FOR APOCALYPSE, DAWN FADES
Transplants Brewing hosts a four-band bill led by Dopethrone, with Conjurer, Armed for Apocalypse and Dawn Fades also named on the lineup. Dopethrone is presented as a three-piece, so this is a full band set rather than a solo appearance or special-format performance. The listing gives no further details about set order, guests, a release, tribute or other one-off feature, but it places the show in the brewery’s dedicated performance room in Palmdale.
Dopethrone come from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and have been active since 2008. The venue describes them as a DIY band known for an abrasive mix of sludge, though the available listing cuts off before offering a fuller description of that sound. No background information is supplied here for Conjurer, Armed for Apocalypse or Dawn Fades, and there are no linked venue posts or search material to add credits, prior collaborators, hometowns or critical notices. What is clear is Dopethrone’s long-running Montreal DIY identity and their role as the billed three-piece on this multi-act night.
Transplants Brewing pairs its own inventive beers and otherworldly art with a dedicated room for live performances, giving a show night a distinctly brewery-made backdrop. In Palmdale’s industrial area, you can start in the taproom among custom murals, then move into the connected music hall, where a second bar lets you keep a drink close without leaving the performance. The lineup ranges from touring bands to comedy, drag, burlesque and wrestling, so check the event listing for the specific night’s format and ticket details. There is no in-house kitchen; food trucks rotate through, with schedules posted alongside events. The brewery’s current site lists regular opening hours and a live calendar, making it an operating spot where a concert can be part of a broader evening out.
