MICROWORLDS is a musical talk show hosted by Rusty Santos. Guests from the underground and the overground alike discuss music, select songs, or perform live with a focus on psychedelia, including genres like indie pop, psychedelic pop, rave music, post-punk, progressive and glam rock, underground hip hop, and experimental music.

This month’s episode features the band Groceries! and the promoter NOISE ETC.

Barely a year old, Groceries! has been a testament of capturing lightning in a bottle (or in their case, a shopping cart). After high-school-sweethearts Gabby (vocals/guitar) and Ed (drums) played their first show as a two piece in September 2024, Nate (bass/guitar/vocals) and Marcio (bass/guitar) quickly joined, expanded the sonic vocabulary, and released their first LP ‘Human Extinctions’ in July 2025.

NOISE ETC is a Los Angeles based promoter operating in the DIY scene since 2023, organizing events that focus on emerging noises and soundscapes across the board.
