02 · Who we are
The Band
Load Bearing Studs is a five-piece rock and roll band out of Contra Costa County, playing the songs that built the format — and the ones that came after.
The set list runs from sixties rock and roll through seventies radio staples into eighties rock, with room for anything that still lands. No original material to sit through, no deep cuts nobody asked for. Every song is one the room already knows.
They play bars, breweries, street fairs, and private events across the East Bay. Loud where it should be loud, tight where it counts, and built to keep a floor moving from the first song to last call.
