The first time I saw the Mainliners was viva Pomona 2023. They played at the “Diamond Plaza Stage”, the small plaza across the street from The Glasshouse. I remember seeing them then in 2023, and thinking to myself “Who are these Greasers?”, not knowing they would become one of my favorite bands by the time I saw them a second time. This time they were on the “Radical Stage”, now a bigger stage. It was still early in the Festival by the time we got there.

Long Beach “Festival Name Redacted”. This was my first time having a media pass. I was at a festival that I would later discover had some skeletons in the closet lets just say, But fuck em I didn’t pay for a ticket, nor was I invited. I was in the media pit waiting for The Addicts to go on. I was chatting it up with some of the other photographers, and checking out their gear. I had my 1080p camcorder while they had 4k crazy setups, with monitors. I felt out of place.

Regarded as a prominent pastime from the 1960s to the 1980s, rollerskating quickly became a quarantine hobby for thousands of people to practice in solitude. However, with quarantine restrictions being lifted mid 2023, the suddenly popular sport diminished as many saw a return to normal life on the horizon.

For many, the band provides some twisted type of relief in their raw riffs and consistent sound. Los Angeles County is no stranger to harsh sounding bands, yet it's difficult to put anyone in the same ballpark as 1034. The band is living proof that sometimes a groundbreaking band isn't groundbreaking at all.
