“I was supposed to work today and no one would fucking cover me. I was like, I’ll get a new job so I lost my job for the band,” said a sheepish Danny Rico, one of three guitarists for Santa Ana band Red Roulette. “I was there for a month, but I’m broke as fuck. I’ll figure it out.”
Rico, along with the rest of his band mates – singer and guitarist Brandon Mazon, guitarist Chris Munoz, drummer Yoshi Garcia and bassist Irvin Martinez – are sitting just outside the Garden Grove Amphitheatre. It’s days before Halloween at the FYGGY Fest and they’ve just finished their set.

Garcia didn’t even own a drum set for the first three months of the band’s existence. Instead, he’d play drums via an app on his phone that was connected to an amp.
