Culo A Boca, The Obsessors, & Dos Hermanos @ The Blue Lagoon Wednesday October 26th

Wednesday October 26th 2011

Culo A Boca
Horor Punk Rock n Roll
Sunnyvale, San Francsico, Santa Cruz.

Found lacking in public school Culo A Boca members sleezed their way into each others lives. After dropping a duce while talking to mom on the phone, each member found that together they ignited the dirty old man humor and fowl mouths that would make a sailor blush. Culo A Boca first started as Ass To Mouth and as a way to entertain(by bleeding through the ears) their friends while partying. B.J.Gums found a way to record each fart and belch during this time and then turning it in to the melodic fury that could turn any bar into a good time. Soon they took over the dive bar scene like an intestinal poo-nami dominating a small village otherwise known as the bathroom.
Pancho Verde began to dawn a Lucha Libre mask to protect his upper class identity from the women who would lust after him at shows. The rest of Culo A Boca told fans that they wore zombie makeup but in actuality their flesh began to rot from their filthy music.
Unsurprisingly barflys where drawn to the riproarous vomit party that would take place during Culo A Boca's shows. And the rest is a living legend that YOU can experiance!

The Obsessors
garage dwelling, dark-wave, black metal pop-punk!
San Jose, Santa Cruz

Party a lot. Drive van around. Get out plug in play for pizza and beer. Go home and party some more. Wash and repeat.

Dos Hermanos
2-step / Folk / Garage
Monaco

Senor G.Rag: megaphone, no singing, git, mülleimer, blech, hi-hat, harp, shaker, organetta

José aka the Black Rider: singing, bass drum, git, snare, harp, kazoo , slide guit

Country Trash, patcheko songwriting, lost ambient trash, y mucho mucho these two brothers shout, rock, whistle, blow harps, sing funny and sometimes sad songs about..... There are people all over the world who say: ah oui oui, c..est pas mal. Others say: it..s shit. And that..s what we want. So if you like both: Country and a good mighty mezz .... you are right.

Minimalisme pure, you can hear more or less percussion, noisevoice and a spooky drum set. You can feel trash at his best and on the other side: no it..s more like....................” heeee i can see tears in your eyes”.

It..s a strange respect for country in times he used to be cool and rock ..n roll was still angry and goddamn hot. (subterranean homesick blues, von hinten, drugstore cowboy). Or takes Trio a friendly look over the hermanos shoulder? (foto foto, lala, lady -o- lady) Their own compositions are mixed in a funny combination of german/english/french/or whatever lyrics with or without use of an old megaphone. The strange click clack dong you can hear in the background makes definitley more space for charme.

Well dressed.

Ganz genau.

A Thousand Shall Fall
Metal
Santa Cruz

Emerging as a duo in the Summer of 2010 with the musical engineering prowess of Kevin Loftus and the guitar styling's of Dhruva Noel, A Thousand Shall Fall was a metal-based recording group with hopes of gaining a few more members and turning it into the real thing. In late August the duo became a formidable trio with the addition of Daniel Johnston, a highly skilled guitarist previously part of various local bands such as Descending Forth and others. With the addition of Dan A.T.S.F. found a direction for their music and added an important piece to their onslaught. In late 2010 Jesse Williams joined on vocals, and in early 2011 Gena Krupa joined the band to finalize the A.T.S.F. lineup. Currently in the process of composing, booking, and recording the band's sound is strongly melodic while simultaneously staying true to the heavy hitting rhythms they've all grown fond of. Keep your eyes and ears open for some upcoming tracks on Myspace other sites and look out for A Thousand Shall Fall coming to a city near you in 2011.

Exhale The Vile
Metal
Sacramento

After a long journey of music throughout the years, including bands such as Namesake and The Unnu, three core friends and musicians have gotten together to start working on their next project. There has been a lot of work in order to get to this point, and there is a lot of work to do ahead, but the music that is starting to flow from these three people is something that they are all excited about and wish to start sharing with their friends and anybody else that will listen. The singer Dan is currently in the US Navy and about to be deployed to Afghanistan. Luckily, they were able to do a rough recording of the three of the songs that they have written so far before he leaves. While he is away, Dustin and Flint plan on continuing to write music and to begin production on a full length studio album, so that as soon as Dan returns, they can pick up right where they left off. The band is very proud and excited about what they are doing right now, so get on board and check it out!

Eviscerate & Phalgeron @ The Blue Lagoon Wednesday October 12th

Wednesday October 12th 2011

Eviscerate
Death Metal
Santa Cruz

We are a santa cruz death metal band that has been at it for a while now, we are always looking to play shows, and more you love us the faster we play.

Phalgeron
Epic Brutal Black Metal
Seattle

The year is 2008, under the fiery blaze of the Los Angeles sun, surrounded by the putrid stench of the streets Hollywood, and in the Halls of Musicians Institute, Phalgeron was forged. Three Haggard, hungry, and inebriated minstrels all from different stately kingdoms Coalesced to make a thunderous sound that called forth demons from deep in the earth, and fire from the skies. Shortly after they had carved three musical composings in stone, the one they called, Ian, was forced to return to his distant homeland of Minnesota. But a fitting replacement was found in the Regal Pat Martin, and the destructive force that is Phalgeron was on the war path once more. Over the next year Many a venue was pillaged with the help of other seasoned minstrels such as Nunslaughter, Napalm Death, Alestorm, and Monstrosity. However the decimation of the Los Angeles wasteland grew tiresome, so in September of 2009, Phalgeron said its parting words with Pat Martin, packed it's Battle Minivan, and withdrew to the icy north of Washington. After receiving word of the move from his trusted war falcon Varturus, Sir Ian made haste to the west to stand by the sides of his brothers once more. With the original triforce in place, the cold land of towering trees was mercilessly conquered by Phalgeron. This north western crusade saw Phalgeron riding valiantly with Pestilence, Cemetery Urn, and Nile, with plans to battle alongside Ensiferum and Finntroll in of February 2011. And so the story comes to a close, for now, but the future has great plans in store for Phalgeron. A full length of powerful decimating diddies is to be released in late January or Early February of 2011. Until then, the saga continues.

Monday October 24th 2011

VX36
Metal
California

Emerging onto the metal scene in 2004 as a 3-piece, VX36 started growing a fan base and recognition from all. With crushing tunes and powerful lyrics they stand at the doorstep of magnitude. Through the hardships and good times it seems the band keeps growing stronger even with the changing of members in 2008. Staying together as a 2-piece they have the heart, drive, and dedication to take over the scene and become one of Metal's hardest working bands with their DIY attitude and drive they stand to become a staple in the music community. Like many bands before, VX36 has the work-ethic, musical instincts and determination. Come to a show and say no more! Rock ON!!!

John The Cannibal
Death Metal/Black Metal/Grindcore
Oakland

Formed in late 2010, relative newcomers John The Cannibal are popping ear drums and snapping necks with their brand of raw, back-to-the-basics brutal death metal. Hailing from highlands of Oaxaca, Mexico, the Niño brothers recruited guitarist Lorenzo Plazola, Jr. (Feral Depravity) and bassist Ricardo Valdespino (ex-Mata Rata, ex-Endless Attack) completing the arsenal of dismembering melodies that hunger for human flesh. Whether you're in the San Francisco Bay Area or Kansas, keep an eye out because John The Cannibal might be hunting for you!
