Strangeland and Bucket Worldwide records collaborate to bring new, experimental sounds to the scene.
Sanz performs at Freak Fest.  “Electronic, abrasive, enter void, glitch pop, digital hardcore. I started on my own then I got Leeroy into it. I’ve had a lot of other people collaborate in the project. Now it’s something completely different,” said Sanz.

Bucket Worldwide and Strangeland Records gave birth to a spooky treat to the freaks of San Clemente and friends of neighboring cities on Saturday night. Eleven music projects rocked and spun jams in costumes while they slammed peacefully in the neon lights that flashed at Knuckleheads Bar in San Clemente. From 5 p.m. to midnight, the freaks indeed went out at night. Spilled beer, sand, and oddly specific costumes will hopefully be an annual occurrence at Knuckleheads Bar. Bands included in the lineup were Buckets, Big Fyg, HWY!, Animated Violence, The Electric Shrine, Nolan Void, Natural Violence, Asthmacamp, Bounce House, Strawberry Jam, DJ Luxury Trash, DJ LoveKat, and DJ Jade Boo.
