King Falcon

On Saturday, July 19th, Mama Mañana Presents welcomes New York’s King Falcon with Glitz Biarritz for a night of good ol’ loud and fast rock n’ roll!

Outfitted with lived-in and loud vintage gear, shaped equally by 21st-century alternative and classic rock, and proudly born in New York City, King Falcon rev up raw and raucous anthems with attitude and a whole lot of emotion. The quartet—Michael Rubin [vocals, lead guitar], Joe Conserva [bass], Sergio Ripa [guitar], and Dipayan “Dip” Chakraborty [drums]—boldly break boundaries both in the studio and on stage.

In between spending hours with a guitar in hand, Michael obsessed over classic records by Steely Dan and Led Zeppelin in addition to Tame Impala’s Currents. The Queens native attended School of Rock for years and eventually founded his first project, Inoculated Canaries, stirring up local buzz, touring, and landing on radio airwaves. Progressing as a singer and guitarist, he officially launched King Falcon in 2020.

Blown away by demos, Mascot Label Group signed King Falcon in the middle of the global pandemic without even meeting them in person or seeing them live. The group’s self-titled debut, King Falcon, arrived in 2023. It racked up over 2 million streams on Spotify, fueled by tracks like “Ready Set Go,” “Cadillac,” and “Everybody’s Down.” Including unanimous critical applause, mxdwn hailed them as “Best New Artist 2023,” and Guitar World christened them “one of NYC’s most exciting indie-rock bands.”

Meanwhile, they packed houses at headline gigs in addition to performing alongside everyone from Des Rocs to Sublime With Rome. Now, the musicians sharpen a scorching signature style on a series of 2024 singles and their forthcoming second full-length album for Mascot.

Glitz Biarritz is a glam punk band based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA. Their debut album, In Poor Taste, is out nowand available on all major streaming platforms.
