The air was thick with the lingering smell of spray paint as I walked into the Bunkhouse backyard on Friday night. Melding three artistic mediums—live aerosol art, live music and a tattoo show—the ISI Group hosted Rock n' Rattlecan, its new bi-monthly party in conjunction with the Hands of Thieves 3 tattoo show.

Sixty-four synthetic, tattooed rubber hands lined three tables on the patio, showcasing work from Vegas’ diverse community of tattoo artists, including images of surfing bull dogs, gorillas in astronaut suits and a solid assortment of portraits. As guests browsed the tattooed hands, artists Lickwid and Hister went to work on their giant canvas—a tattoo-inspired painting filled with tattoo guns and bottles of ink.

Inside, Denver, Colorado band The Outfit (dressed in matching all-white outfits) jumped into their Vines-y, revival-rock set, followed by Vegas trio Bee Master. The local group, led by frontman Brian Cantrell, delivered another powerful performance, something that’s come to be expected by the band's experimental hybrid of pop-punk and hardcore. Obliging the crowd’s plea for an encore, Bee Master (also matching in an assortment of Led Zeppelin tees) returned to the stage to give the audience a taste of not-yet-finished song, “Plea.” Singer and guitarist Steven R. closed out with a solo set, which included a standout cover of The Beatles’ “Don’t Let Me Down.”

With so many different artists from various art backgrounds, Rock n' Rattlecan succeeded in not just showcasing the diversity of the Las Vegas scene, but in bringing those different mediums together. We’re already excited to see what they dream up next month.
