The Bulletboys
BulletBoys bring their reunited original four-piece lineup to The Canyon in Agoura Hills: vocalist Marq Torien, guitarist Mick Sweda, bassist Lonnie Vencent and drummer Jimmy D’Anda. The night also includes opening sets from Ampage and Rusted Stone. Expect the band’s established hard rock catalog, including material associated with their self-titled 1988 debut and 1991’s Freakshow, delivered by the members credited with defining its early sound.
Formed in the late 1980s Sunset Strip scene, BulletBoys built a gold-selling career with blues-infused hard rock, a strain of groove that the listing says set them apart from the era’s glam metal pack. Their 1988 debut produced “Smooth Up in Ya” and a cover of the O’Jays’ “For the Love of Money,” and its success led to videos that topped MTV charts. The original lineup later took separate paths through various versions of the band, with past reunion attempts proving short-lived. This return brings Torien, Sweda, Vencent and D’Anda back together for a 2026 touring run, revisiting the chemistry behind the group’s hooks, bluesy guitar work, low-end pulse and driving drums.
The Canyon’s appeal is its dinner-and-concert format: you can make a full evening of a show, with table seating paired with dinner service or general-admission access to the concert floor. The calendar ranges from touring performers and tribute acts to themed nights, often with opening acts before the headliner. Expect a ticketed event, and check the listing for your show’s seating and dining arrangements; some events specify a two-drink minimum. Doors commonly open early enough to arrive before the music, though timings vary by event. The venue is at 28912 Roadside Drive in Agoura Hills, in the Conejo Valley, and current official listings continue to advertise shows there. It’s a practical choice if you want dinner and live music under one roof.
