THE LEGENDARY CHEATER SLICKS MAKE THEIR LONG AWAITED RETURN TO THE MOTOT CITY!!!!
“Cheater Slicks is a three-man garage punk band formed in Boston in 1987. The members are Tom Shannon (guitar, vocals), Dave Shannon (guitar), and Dana Hatch (drums, vocals). They toured with Jon Spencer Blues Explosion in 1995. In their early days they experimented with a couple of different singers and periods as an instrumental band before Tom and Dana assumed vocal duties. They also went through a succession of bassists - Dina Pearlman (daughter of Alan R. Pearlman), Allan Paulinho ("Alpo" from the Real Kids), and finally Merle Allin (brother of G.G. Allin) - before deciding to go bassless like the Cramps. The band relocated to Columbus, OH, in 1996 and is still active. They played their 20th anniversary show on Sept. 1, 2007. They have released several albums on In the Red Records. The band received special notice when Mudhoney covered their song "Ghost" on their fifth studio album "Tomorrow Hit Today". Almost Ready Records has re-released three of Cheater Slicks' albums on vinyl. "On Your Knees" in 2016, and "Destination Lonely" in 2017.” –wikipedia
“Ohio art punk quartet DANA like to keep things weird. It’s just more enjoyable that way, always has been. Formed back in 2016, the Columbus based band have released two albums and an EP of twisted garage rock and wiggly post-punk, rooted in a sci-fi sort of escapism at times. You can tell they’re having fun, and the feeling is infectious. They have a boisterous energy, the impression of a band bursting at the seems, waiting to explode in a live setting. Having caught a bit of one of their SXSW sets, we can confirm they absolutely rip live. It’s an experience not soon forgotten. DANA live to push the envelope of sonic manipulation, pulling apart weirdo hardcore and bombastic rock ‘n’ roll to create their own brand of accessible punk. Madeline Jackson (vocals, theremin) leads the band with a real versatility, her delivery splitting the difference between carnival barker immediacy and acid-fried pop melodicism.” –post-trash
“If there is such a thing as Michigan punk, it's Werewolf Jones. Musically, the band falls perfectly in line with the Detroit lineage of punk that starts with the noisy psychedelics of Destroy All Monsters, continues with the hardcore rock of Negative Approach, and meanders into the experimental territory.”
Tin Foil are a very good band.
With the finest tunes in the land spun by the incredible DJ Danny Kroha!
