Arsonists Get All the Girls, billed as AGATG, top a 1720 bill that also brings Dr. Acula and Giddy Up Gangsta to Downtown Los Angeles. Dr. Acula is set to perform its debut album S.L.O.B. in full, giving the afternoon a complete-album set alongside the other bands’ appearances. Giddy Up Gangsta’s slot is billed as a reunion. The available information does not identify the musicians or formation taking the stage for any of the acts.
Arsonists Get All the Girls come from Santa Cruz, California. Their music has been described as mathcore shaped by deathcore, metalcore, progressive-metal and electronic influences, with their early work particularly associated with a fusion of deathcore and electronic elements. That wide stylistic range is a defining part of the band’s profile rather than a single fixed approach. They have toured with Darkest Hour, Carnifex and Bleeding Through, placing them alongside several established names in heavy music. No reviews of the band were included in the available material, so there is no critic’s language to add here.
1720’s calling card is its range: the former garment factory hosts both all-ages punk, hardcore and metal shows and separately promoted late-night electronic events. Inside, high ceilings, exposed steel and concrete give the room a warehouse feel, while concert-grade sound and lighting make the stage the focus. Most shows are standing-room, with a bar and an outdoor patio; some events also bring pop-up food vendors, so check the listing rather than counting on a meal. The calendar is ticketed, and age rules and start times vary by event. You’ll find it in Downtown LA’s industrial warehouse district, where street parking is limited; the venue recommends rideshare. Its current listings include upcoming October and November 2026 shows at 1720 E 16th Street, confirming it is still operating at that address.
