Hailing from Austin, Texas, Grocery Bag is a ragtag group consisting of Bella Martinez, Jimmy Mercado, Dillon Aitala, and Logan Kerman. Each member had a unique upbringing with music: Martinez played in bands or various genres, including a church band; Aitala picked up guitar in high school and kept at it after COVID-19 hit; Mercado's dad played drums while he was growing up, so he picked up a pair of drumsticks; and Kerman's mother threw a guitar into his lap when he was just 2 years old, sparking a new passion. Mercado and Aitala went to high school together, Mercado being a part of multiple bands at the same time while Aitala admired from the sidelines, wanting to join in. The two met Martinez and Kerman through some of Mercado's projects; Martinez booked a show and didn't have a band, so she asked the other three to hop in. Martinez's father has a bunch of vintage signs in his garage, and when the band played a house show at his house, Martinez looked up at a sign that said "Grocery Bag", and the rest is history. Grocery Bag have been best friends forever, hanging out every day when Aitala and Mercado were still in high school, driving around to malls and guitar stores. They pen nonsense lyrics and emphasize on the guitar riff as their basis for songs. They opened for Psychedelic Porn Crumpets April 28th at The Aggie Theatre, and their next show is at Third Man Records Cass Corridor on May 18th.
