Close Enemies, Dead Groove, Kamenar, The Deffades, and Metal Party are the featured acts in a high-octane rock and metal showcase taking place at the world-famous Whisky A Go Go in West Hollywood on Saturday, January 3, 2026. This 7:00 PM event is headlined by Close Enemies, a powerhouse rock collective featuring Tom Hamilton (the Grammy-winning bassist of Aerosmith), drummer Tony Brock (The Babys), and vocal talent Chasen Hampton. The night also highlights Dead Groove, a hard-hitting Los Angeles trio known for their gritty, classic-rock-inspired sound; Kamenar, the high-energy melodic rock band fronted by brothers Sean and John Kamenar; and The Deffades, alongside the genre-blending Metal Party. Known for its historic status on the Sunset Strip, the Whisky A Go Go provides the perfect, raw backdrop for this “all-star” lineup that bridges the gap between rock legends and the next generation of hard rock talent.
