Lords Of Altamont (usa)

The LORDS OF ALTAMONT The Lords Of Altamont takes the raw power of 1960’s punk and brings it into today to crank out rock n’ roll the way it was meant to be played, loud, fast, and out of control. Front man Jake “The Preacher” Cavaliere, commands crowds with his garage-god vocals and a tendency to either leap onto his Farfisa organ or light it on fire. Guitarists, Johnny “Stiggs” DeVilla, and Shawn “Sonic” Medina play impressive axe, while former MC5 bassist Michael “Mad Dog” Davis and drummer Max “Sicko” Edison form an unholy rhythm section that defies reckoning. Add a few fringe-tossing go-go dancers and a light show reminiscent of science lab blood cell slides memories from an acid trip and you have the genuine, real-deal rock and roll experience that is The Lords of Altamont. The Lords released their first critically acclaimed record… To Hell With the Lords on Sympathy For The Record Industry, 2004, and followed it up with their eagerly anticipated second full length album, Lords Have Mercy, 2006, Fargo Records in Europe and Australia and Gearhead Records in North and South America. The band has been featured on numerous compilation CDs, most notably with the lead track on MOJO’s Hendrix tribute, snake-charming listeners with a Lords-style version of Can You See Me. The band is currently working on their 3rd full-length release and a subsequent world tour in early 2008. As the movie poster would read: The Lords Of Altamont: A vicious expose of the young generation -- that sick, irreverent subculture who ravage and plunder for their kicks!
