About HEALTH

HEALTH is an industrial noise rock band from Los Angeles that's been making abrasive, technically precise music since the mid-2000s. They built a reputation on dense wall-of-sound production that somehow manages to be both punishing and weirdly catchy. Early albums established them as something between a rock band and a power electronics project, all distorted synths and harsh vocals layered over surprisingly groovy rhythms. By albums like 'Get Color' and 'Slave', they'd started incorporating more melodic elements without softening the aggression. They've collaborated with everyone from Merzbow to Chvrches, showing an interest in genre cross-pollination that keeps them from feeling too precious about their noise rock identity. Live shows have become increasingly cinematic, with video work and staging that matches the intensity of the music. They're the kind of band that appeals equally to noise enthusiasts and people who just want to feel something visceral.

HEALTH shows are sensory overload in the best way. The crowd gets genuinely physical, not aggressive but moving with purpose. Their visuals are integral, not decorative. Sound is immense. People leave damp and a little disoriented.

Known for Space Hound, Steal Money, Cybernetic Organism, We Are Water, Die Slow

HEALTH + Sacramento

HEALTH rolled through Sacramento in April 2024, hitting Goldfield Trading Post with the kind of set that reminded you why they've stayed relevant for two decades. They opened with an audacious cover of "A Cruel Angel's Thesis" before pivoting into their own bruising noise rock. "CRACK METAL" and "STONEFIST" hit like a physical force, but the real moment came when they buried "Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)" deep in the set—a Deftones cover that felt less like a tribute and more like a natural extension of their chaos. They closed on "DSM-V," which isn't the obvious choice, but it stuck around after everyone else had left.

Live Music in Sacramento

Sacramento's underground has always had an ear for the experimental and abrasive. The city's proximity to the Bay Area keeps it locked into that heavier, more exploratory end of the rock spectrum, and venues like Goldfield Trading Post have become reliable stops for bands working in noise rock and industrial territory. HEALTH fits naturally into that landscape—their maximalist approach to distortion and rhythm finds kindred spirits in Sacramento's small but dedicated noise crowd.
