Last night was the first new Aaron Traffas Band show. We played some songs, sold some shirts and had a ton of fun. A big thanks goes out to Anthony Farrar for getting on the road and coming along. We’re definitely going to be playing more shows with Anthony.

I’m throwing in some pretty obscure stuff today. Brant Bjork has had many bands over the years, Brant Bjork and the Bros, Kyuss, Fu Manchu (the first featured band), Decon, Ch’e, Mondo Generator and more.

Hey, all, I’m doing this on the fly today because I’m strapped for time. So just a bit and then to the link. I had the pleasure of playing an opening set with these guys in Oklahoma City with my band Guse. They were killer then and are still rockin’ today. They are Taddy Porter … Read more »

This group is like a time capsule from 1972 but they are touring right now! The Dap Kings are … Read more »
Hey, all, popping in to share my twisted music experience with the world. Today I come bearing gifts from Southern California. These guys started covering the world in fuzz in 1990 and have just kept on giving us fuzzed-out guitars and heavy, thrashing drums ever since. They are Fu Manchu, beware their force is great!

This band is out of philly and they gleaned their name from Dostoyevsky‘s “Notes From The Underground”; they are Stinking Lizaveta. If you … Read more »
